Dark Miasma

Dark Miasma is a time-management game with visual novel storytelling and deck-building. You play as a new town guard in Galeport, a small, remote village, and must protect its citizens after learning of a demonic plot to destroy the town. With limited time to grow stronger and earn the townsfolk’s trust, you decide how to prepare them for the perilous journey to the Capital.

Galeport and its people

The coastal village holds dark mysteries, and investigating them can irreversibly change the fate of everyone involved. The story spans over 125,000 words and features 17 characters, each with problems and mysteries for you to address. Whether the townsfolk believe you may depend on first befriending them.

Time and preparation

You manage your time before the limit runs out, raising your stats and becoming as powerful as possible. Your stats, feats and which townsfolk survive the journey to the Capital affect which of the game’s dozens of different endings you reach.

Decks and challenges

Build powerful decks from over 500 combat cards. Solving mysteries and completing difficult tasks unlocks Heirlooms that persist between playthroughs and can drastically alter future runs. You can also take on challenging optional bosses for unique rewards. The game offers over 30 hours of gameplay.
