Risk the Dark

About

You’re stuck in a pitch-black cave with monsters crawling out of every shadow. Risk the Dark throws you into this nightmare with a top-down view and a desperate need to survive. Use whatever you can find, swing a rusted knife, hurl a firebomb, or bribe a wandering NPC, to clear a path. Each run feels different as the cave shifts and threats escalate. You start with nothing but a flickering light and a head full of panic. What keeps you coming back is the tight balance between resourcefulness and terror. The game doesn’t hand you solutions. You scavenge, adapt, and hope your next move isn’t your last. Early access players on Discord call the combat "brutally satisfying" and the tension "unrelenting." It’s not about big budgets or fancy graphics, it’s a raw, twitchy scramble to escape a place that wants you dead.

Storyline

After the 'Tearing', the monsters emerged. During the struggle, a thrown grenade left you stranded in an unknown cave. Alive but shaken, you discover that you are not alone. Risk the Dark to survive.
