Soothe angry mystical creatures by beating them senseless in a lovely luminous soulslike coming later this month

Strayed Lights is a game about a "tiny, growing light seeking transcendence," a state it will apparently reach by beating the stuffing out of large, bioluminescent creatures in colorful soulslike combat.

Has anyone ever achieved a higher state of being through fistfighting? It seems unlikely to me, although I have to admit it's not something I've put much thought into previously. But that aside, Strayed Lights looks potentially quite good: The Steam page promises "a dark and oneiric world that is as vivid as it is mysterious," which sounds like my kind of thing (once I looked up "oneiric," that is, which for the record means "relating to, or characteristic of, dreams") and of course plenty of skill-based melee combat against "colossal shadow creatures gone rogue."
