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.
