Spark in the Dark

Spark in the Dark is a dark fantasy dungeon crawler. The player goes deep into the terrifying Labyrinth, where creepy creatures live and ancient mysteries are hidden. The dungeon is divided into levels, and each next one is more dangerous than the previous one. Some traps are triggered by steps, so running is punishable here. Darkness obscures the paths, so it's best to keep a torch handy. Everything that the main character encounters is imbued with secrets and runes, and some of the passages are opened only by careful research. The light serves as both a hint and a warning: somewhere it snatches a way out, and somewhere it betrays the hero. Runes serve as hints and keys to hidden passages. The torch's light is running low and oil supplies are limited. Fights take place in cramped corridors, so dodging and timely blocking are more important than the force of the blow. Resources are limited, and first aid kits have to be saved. Leveling up unlocks new abilities, combat schools and spells. Skeletons, spiders, and tentacled creatures require different approaches. Dark corners punish greed, because behind the treasure there is usually a trap hidden. The atmosphere is built on darkness and sound, and the music adds tension. The game is released in early access, and patches bring new floors. The music and sounds of footsteps are more pressing than the monsters themselves. The story is told in short recordings and voices. For those who love dark dungeons, this Labyrinth is suitable. Updates add floors, enemies and items. The project relies on atmosphere rather than crowd scenes.
