Golden Light is, in the description provided by the developer, a "Survival-Horror FPS Prop Hunt Roguelike about meat".

Honestly, I need to let the devs describe it, because I couldn't.

It's a pixelated bitmapped mess. It uses procedural generation to decide what something you pick up will do each run. You're apparently in some monstrous "gut", and you can eat anything you pick up.

There are weapons, but if you use them, you'll make the gut angry.

You can eat the weapons. They might do something good. They might do something bad. They might do nothing at all.

Some props will turn into vaguely defined and difficult to identify monsters. The graphics are awful. "Meat" panels randomly appear on badly lit walls.

I viscerally hate this game, pun intended. This is the third-worst game I've played this year. I cannot understand how anyone would enjoy this, let alone rate it 9/10.

It came as part of the March Humble Bundle, and I'm just glad that I didn't buy it by choice.
