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.
