"Out now on Steam, Light Up the Town has a super simple premise. You play as a young anthropomorphized ferret named Bean who is going through some stuff. His father, in an effort to lift his spirits, asks Bean to follow in his own footsteps and handle lighting up the entire small Colorado town of Bellflower. If he does this, he'll get a new bike for Christmas."
"In real life, putting up lights across multiple buildings, roofs, and interiors can be a hassle of tangled cables, extension cords, and broken bulbs. Light Up the Town doesn't include any of that. Instead, you are able to fling strings of lights in different colors and shapes across large distances like a Christmas Jedi. You can also undo your actions and cut light strings whenever you want, letting you create massively long or incredibly short strings of light."
A cozy indie game called Light Up the Town lets players decorate a snow-covered small Colorado town named Bellflower with colorful Christmas lights and decorations. Players control Bean, an anthropomorphized ferret tasked by his father with lighting the entire town in exchange for a new bike. The game emphasizes creative, low-stress decoration mechanics that let players fling light strings across buildings, undo actions, and cut strings to create varied lengths. There are no realistic constraints like tangled cables, plugs, or broken bulbs; lights simply work wherever placed. The narrative exists but the primary appeal is the relaxed, magical decorating experience.
