Summary
[WiiWare] LIT is a 3D horror action puzzler that follows Jake, a typical, apathetic, slightly emo teenager, who's trapped in his high school when it's overrun by dark creatures. Players must guide Jake through 30 classrooms, using the available light sources to create paths to each exit. The goal is to reunite Jake with his girlfriend Rachael, who’s also trapped in the school and calls Jake from time to time on the school’s phone system. Stay in the light and Jake’s safe. Step into the darkness and he’s pulled under. In addition to light puzzling, the game features 5 boss battles against dark faculty members, an unlockable challenge mode, multiple endings, level select mode, and a second playable character. [WayForward]

Destructoid
LIT stands proudly eclectic among the sea of mediocre titles available on WiiWare, bringing a truly innovative take on the puzzle genre to the table and offering a lot for players to explore. The issues with minor control flaws can't really bring down the well-executed atmosphere, clever design or overall fun the experience of playing the game offers.
Read Full Review >GameZone
Like LostWinds, LIT is one of the definitive WiiWare releases. With plenty of challenging content and creepy style to spare, LIT is a must-play for horror fans.
Read Full Review >Official Nintendo Magazine UK
A clever puzzle game that will have you thinking and shaking at the same time. [Christmas 2009, p.101]
Cubed3
LIT is another fine example of the advantages of WiiWare: daring, unusual concepts that publishers wouldn’t look twice at for the retail sector.
Read Full Review >GamePro
LIT is a puzzle game wrapped up in a 3D candy shell and delivers a fun, creative experience that many will enjoy.
Read Full Review >Game Positive
Even with the shortcomings in its presentation and occasionally frustrating deaths, it's hard for a puzzle fan to be let down by LIT.
Read Full Review >GameSpot
This dark puzzle game will test your problem-solving abilities, as long as the design quirks don't kill you first.
Read Full Review >Vandal Online
LIT is a very interesting puzzle game, with a gameplay premise which turns it into a very remarkable proposal within the WiiWare portfolio.
Read Full Review >Cheat Code Central
The presentation has some clever and fun touches, and frustration and blemishes not withstanding, fans of both puzzles and the macabre should definitely give the game a look.
Read Full Review >IGN
The whole "use the lights" mechanic is refreshingly unique, and there's definitely a sense of satisfaction after you've figured out the room's solution.
Read Full Review >Nintendo Life
WayForward put a lot of time and work into LIT at it shows; it’s not perfect but if you’re in the mood for a puzzle game with a difference, break out your flashlight and watch out for what hides in the dark.
Read Full Review >Nintendojo
LIT showcases some rather novel puzzle aspects, while simultaneously remaining shrouded with horror and darkness.
Read Full Review >Teletext GameCentral
It's got its share of flaws but this is another absorbingly original puzzler for WiiWare.
Read Full Review >Eurogamer
It's just a shame that, much like its moping hero, it never ventures far enough from its comfort zone to become truly memorable.
Read Full Review >Edge Magazine
Lit is consistently rewarding for its duration, the lack of handholding and clue-giving heightening the thrill of finding a solution, regardless of whether it was thought through or merely stumbled upon in the dark. [Christmas 2009, p.100]
N-Europe
If you like puzzle games, you might want to check LiT out, and if darkness and monsters are up your alley all the more reason to get it. Just prepare for a few rage fits.
Read Full Review >Game Revolution
LIT's emphasis on trial and error might turn off the more impatient player, but if you are the kind that can't say no to a good puzzler, there are unlockable game modes to extend your play.
Read Full Review >GameCritics
It's recommended, but with a little more polish it could have been fantastic. As it stands, it's an interesting, yet slightly flawed effort.
Read Full Review >NGamer UK
It's good fun and something different. [May 2009, p.76]
