How it feels

Managing light and flame under siege by creeping fog in a gigantic tree feels like a tense balancing act of growth and defense.

What players say

Players are split on DarkSwitch. Some enjoy the Frostpunk-like vertical city building and narrative, calling it a refreshing, complete experience with multiple endings. Others find it unfinished, too easy, and lacking tough choices, with complaints about bugs and a campaign that outstays its welcome.
