Darkness and a Crowd

Darkness and a Crowd is an RPG about fighting to reclaim Harrand after an explosion spreads darkness across the planet, turning wildlife evil and leaving villages in ruins. You play as a creature immune to the darkness, accompanied by a tiny friend, and travel toward the top of a mountain to restore peace. Along the way, you help survivors, meet new friends, complete missions and fight affected wildlife and giants.

Puzzles and exploration

You explore an extensive land, solve puzzles and use the world’s mechanics to open paths and reach new areas. Weighing systems account for the force of collisions and the weight added to objects. Green lighting puzzles let you shut down machines blocking your way or move platforms.

Quests and enemies

Side quests bring additional challenges as you help those who survived the explosion. Enemies include sliding Slimes, jumping Spickles and creatures with aggressive abilities. You can also defend a town from darkened entities or fight groups of creatures such as families of squirrels.

Abilities and progression

Defeating creatures unlocks abilities, while levelling up earns rewards. You can unlock abilities from the elements Earth, Fire and Air to help you move around or solve puzzles in new ways. Some abilities attack enemies, while passive abilities heal you over time. You can upgrade your character, equip abilities and edit your stats to prepare for the creatures ahead.
