About this game
Think before you move. Once you move, your vision gets limited, and only memory and reflexes can save you. How fast are your reactions in the dark?
From pros to casuals, choose how you want to play with customizable difficulty options. Adjust vision range in the dark and explore other accessibility-friendly settings.
You only have a limited number of lights each level. Move and stop too often, and you’ll run out of lights and be in total darkness for the rest of the stage!
Each crystal and gem comes with its own unique challenge. Only the most skilled adventurers can uncover every lost treasure hidden in the darkness!
Dr. Fog will do anything to keep the world in darkness. Only sharp reflexes, precise movement, and fearless determination will let you defeat his shadowy allies and ultimately face him!
Want to feel every step? Jump into First-Person Mode for total immersion!
Demo is out now so give it a try!
