Endless Dark

Little guy goes a little crazy on a little ship in the vastness of space :)

Immaculately written and engaging, keeps me wondering what's going to happen next; and striving to unravel the intrigue.

Endless Dark is a really fascinating gem of a game, but fair warning, it is not a game for the timid. In Endless Dark, you play as one of three robot custodians designed to maintain a colony ship and its sleeping crew on its way to a new planet. But there are no sentient enemies to fight, no weapons or shooter mechanics to really worry about. Just you and malfunctioning systems, the sound of creaking metal, and the blackness of space to keep you company. If that sounds scary, that's because it is. And that's part of Endless Dark's appealing premise: in space, the greatest enemy can be yourself. While maintaining your ship's systems on its way to its destination, you will have to fight off fatigue, stress, and psychosis, which are treated as consumable in-game resources. You will want to do things to help fix the ship on its way to its journey, but as you try, you will find yourself in increasingly dire straits trying not to let any of these three things overcome your custodian. Random events will also pop up throughout the game, and these will either help you or harm you -- some random events can even have a long-term positive payoff, while others will just drag you further into insanity. The somewhat cute art style of this game provides a rather unsettling contrast to its main overall story, but the developers have put a lot of effort into the art style to make sure just about anyone can play it without too much visual confusion, including those with degrees of color-blindness -- which is something I can really respect. As you continue to play through more runs, you'll get better at managing your resources, but not all runs will end in a victory for you; such is the nature of rogue-like and rogue-lite games such as this one. Endless Dark is a game that seems easy on the surface, but is difficult to master -- and that's part of why I would recommend giving it a playthrough at least once. I would give Endless Dark a rank of 8/10, and call it a solid first title from developer Little Light Studios.

A dark philosophical horror. Is it better to sacrifice yourself, sacrifice your "goal", or recognize both are flitting illusions?

While I found the gameplay to be pretty boring and repetitive, basically only involving you spending most of your time walking to the places you should go, the story was actually pretty great (atleast by my standards) and worth going through gameplay the likes of watching paint dry
