To Whom it May Concern,
Summer is upon us, and there’s no better time to experience the brilliance of Lightmatter.
In the spirit of “summer fun,” expected contributions to the employee quality of life services at Lightmatter Technologies have been reduced. For a limited time, you can explore even more of my scientific paradise for 35% less than before.
A small price to pay to ensure your survival, wouldn’t you agree?

Let's Play Lightmatter: David Bateson
A notable figure has decided to join in on the public tour of Lightmatter Technologies: a voice actor who goes by the name David Bateson.
You may recognize him as the voice of Agent 47 in the game Hitman. Some even claim his voice bears a striking resemblance to my own. He should consider himself fortunate. Very few can claim that they are anything like me.
I’ve graciously allowed Tunnel Vision Games to share footage of his tour with the world. Perhaps now those who doubt me will see things from my perspective.

The Lux Principle
It seems Lightmatter is not the only incredible breakthrough from Lightmatter Industries.
As it turns out, James’s four-legged fluff ball could be the key to the most important discovery in the history of workplace practices.
Our cat photo initiative increased employee productivity by 125%. I think I’ll call it “ The Lux Principle.”
In order to maintain this efficiency, I’ve directed James to compile further footage of Lux exploring Lightmatter technologies. Our intern has once again offered her take on Lux’s thoughts in the footage:
If only you could handle the shadows as calmly as that cat. Ah well. I’m certain that you’ll be able to get through your tour despite your lack of catlike grace.
-Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
Lightmatter Accolades
The scientific marvels contained within the walls of Lightmatter Technologies are magnificent to behold.
I’ve worked tirelessly to convince the world that Lightmatter will brighten the world, but my detractors claim I’m a biased spokesperson. You’ll be pleased to know that you don’t just have to take my word for it. As it turns out, the press has been rather receptive to Lightmatter, as they should be.
I’ve compiled a few of my favorite quotes from journalists who understand the brilliance of Lightmatter in a short video.

If you’re still not convinced, I urge you to take a tour of the Lightmatter facilities. Seeing the core for yourself will no doubt leave you in awe.

Record of Six
To whom it may concern,
You see that giant piece of metal moving back and forth? It's a top-grade mineral decontaminator.
I installed a fence around that decontaminator, twice. My employees keep tearing it down to bet money on how many times they can run back and forth before the decontaminator closes. One of them bragged to me about his record of six. I told him that I was impressed and fired him.
I hope you're not attempting to beat that record. Yes, you may get a meaningless achievement; however, I assure you that the risk of getting crushed to death far outweighs the reward.
-Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
Lightmatter: The Cat Adventure
My Human Resources team has suggested that photos and videos of cats may increase employee productivity. I suppose I can share some security footage we’ve captured of James’ cat, Lux.
An intern even added some text to some of our footage that the masses might consider amusing. Personally, I find it trivial, but I’ve been informed that sharing this image should boost employee efficiency by 32%.
One small warning to our tour guests: during your tour, you might stumble into our cat, Lux. If you experience skin rashes, headaches, or hair-loss keep in mind that you might be allergic to cats.
-Virgil, CEO of Lightmatter Technologies
Welcome to Lightmatter 1.09
To Whom it May Concern,
Lightmatter is the single most important development in renewable energy that the world has ever seen. That is why my scientists and engineers work tirelessly to innovate. Today we launch Lightmatter 1.09, complete with Danish voice-over work, developer commentary, new achievement art, and more.
What’s New
- Those of you who seek to rise above the mediocrity of your peers will be pleased to discover new and unique art for each achievement on Steam.
- We’ve also added an audio translation of the tour for our Danish guests in their native language. Danish actor Lars Mikkelsen lends his voice to this translation. It’s only fitting that such a prolific actor speaks Danish on my behalf.
- Here at Lightmatter Technologies, there’s so much more to learn about the creation of Lightmatter. Tunnel Vision Games has added a developer commentary to give you a behind-the-scenes look at how Lightmatter was developed.
