Short description
Inch your way through oppressive darkness using only a flashlight and 6th sense in this tense top-down roguelike. Shoot, stun, electrocute, poison and blow-up monsters in abandoned corporate offices where resources are scarce and even the furniture could be trying to kill you.
About this game
Heartless Dark is a top-down action-roguelike with survival horror elements. It plays like a familiar top-down-shooter but your flashlight is your only view into the darkness - oh and your 6th sense... Resources are scarce and even the furniture could be trying to kill you. 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. Oh and your 6th sense ... Survival Horror: Your survival relies on spatial awareness , managing your limited resources and learning to use hazards to your advantage. FEATURES GAMEPLAY: Randomly generated corporate office levels Perma-death Environmental hazards Stats, upgrades, items and synergies Multiple playable characters (including randomized) Discoverable lore Possessed furniture that might try to kill you QUALITY OF LIFE: Seed system Controller support Customizable difficulty DOES NOT FEATURE: Loot boxes or micro-transactions Complex meta-progression Dialogue Skill Trees Multiplayer
