Steam Store description

Heartless Dark is a top-down action-roguelike with survival horror elements.

Note from Roarke (the developer): Heartless Dark was designed as a 'coffee-break roguelike' - easy to pick up and put down and not hugely demanding of your time. A run could be completed in around 20 minutes if you're good enough. While it may not contain thousands of item combinations, hundreds of enemies and complex meta-progression like other games in the genre, I've still put my passion into creating a unique, atmospheric and replay-able experience. Action-Roguelike: Shoot , dodge , stun , electrocute , throw bombs and other tools as you kill monsters in abandoned corporate offices. Expect procedural levels , stats , upgrades , synergies , multiple characters and perma-death . Oppressive Darkness: Your flashlight is your only view into the darkness all around you.
