Build The Light is a video game development studio based in the south of France, driven by one ambition: to create immersive experiences where technology, interaction, and art direction serve emotion. We imagine rich, atmospheric worlds in which every environment contributes to the experience, with particular attention paid to visual quality and to the way the player interacts with the world around them.
Our shared adventure began in 2018. As early as 2019, we released a first prototype version of The Bounds, a project that would gradually become one of the pillars of our identity. Over the years, our journey has been enriched by new experiments, notably with Nephesh, a bullet hell prototype, as well as our time at Montpellier GameLab. In 2021, we began development of the virtual reality adaptation of The Bounds, with the desire to fully harness this medium to strengthen the player's presence and their involvement in the universe.
The Bounds VR is part of a larger project called Project Louisiana. Inspired by great survival horror references such as Resident Evil and Silent Hill, this adventure plunges the player into an unsettling Louisiana, between swamps, a mysterious mansion, and voodoo practices. In search of his missing daughter, he must explore his surroundings, uncover the secrets hidden within, and gradually lift the veil on a truth that may be harder to face than he imagined.
To bring this experience to life, our team brings together complementary skills in programming, 3D creation, level design, game design, writing, musical composition, and sound design. This diversity allows us to approach immersion as a whole: from interactions to environments, including pacing, narrative, sound, and atmosphere.
The Bounds VR is planned for Steam in summer 2026, before a release on PS VR2 during the winter. But our vision does not stop at a single project. Build The Light wants to continue exploring different formats and platforms in order to create interactive experiences with a strong artistic identity. Our goal remains to push the boundaries of immersion to build worlds that players do not merely observe, but truly feel they inhabit.
