You may recall way back when we review WayForward's horror puzzler LIT, and how much I enjoyed the title (it was a bit of a surprise to find something so good on WiiWare in the sea of generic puzzlers and uninspired "family" titles). However, it only came out in North America at that time.
Later this month, the game will be coming to all PAL territories and will also have subtitles available in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Dutch. It's great to know the game will now be available to so many more gamers, and if you like dark atmospherics you should definitely pick this one up. It comes to WiiWare on October 30th -- just in time for Halloween!

About LIT
An action-horror puzzle game, LIT puts players in the role of Jake, a typical high school underachiever. When Jake's school is overrun by dark creatures resembling the school's faculty, it's up to him to find his way through the darkness in order to defeat them and find his girlfriend, Rachael. The only way to stay alive is to stay in the light. Taking full advantage of the Nintendo Wii™ hardware, players use a variety of light-based objects to get through each classroom, including lamps, oscillating fans, computers, televisions, broken windows, and motion sensor lights. It's up to the player to figure out how to bridge Jake's way across each classroom as he inches closer to discovering Rachael’s ultimate fate.
The game was cool, but I never did find it compelling enough to finish. I have got about two thirds of the way through so far and revisit it occasionally only to have frustration set in. The action button drives me crazy sometimes.
