Dark Light is a pixel art platformer adventure inspired by NES games of the 80s and 90s. You play as John, who is awakened from a peaceful sleep when a lightning strike shatters the silence of the night. As he looks out the window, he witnesses terrifying monsters emerging from the darkness. Armed with improvised tools and driven by curiosity, John embarks on a perilous journey to uncover the source of this strange anomaly and face the growing threats.
Explore the island, battle enemies and bosses, and unlock new abilities as you guide John through a world filled with danger and mystery. Solve puzzles, defeat monstrous creatures, and uncover hidden secrets in a story-driven adventure that will challenge both your reflexes and your mind.
What started as a simple investigation soon spirals into a fight for survival as John delves deeper into the island's mysteries. Along the way, he'll face monstrous foes, discover forgotten lore, and slowly piece together the puzzle of what caused this dark anomaly.
