Details

Overview

In "The Dark," players awaken aboard an escape pod plummeting into the murky depths of a distant, flooded planet. With communications down and power failing, the only option is to venture into the unknown darkness. This title began as a personal game jam project in 2020, stemming from a long-held game idea. While initially rough around the edges due to its solo development, the creator has since returned to refine and expand upon it, with contributions from their daughter influencing the narrative.

Highlights

Genre: An adventure game with action and racing elements, also available in Early Access.
Features: Supports single-player and VR, with partial controller support.
Development: Created by Light Arc Studio Ltd, this personal project has evolved over time.

Who It's For
