Dusk City

Dusk City is a metroidvania set in an apocalyptic world, where you meet characters, explore a mysterious island and fight mechanical creatures in its ruins. The bustling era has passed, and people now lead modest, peaceful lives on the remaining lands. On the island, a being called Witch uses her magic to help the town’s people. As you explore, you uncover the world’s mysteries.

The island and its people

The island’s maps include neon-lit cityscapes and deserted coastlines, rendered in pixel art. Characters appear in detailed pixel art on the map and in illustrations during conversations, while enemies are also drawn in pixel art.

You meet Witch, a mysterious woman who helps you despite her limited emotional expression; the compassionate and kind Mayor; and Mogura, who runs a junk shop with her sister and can spot treasures useful as crafting materials.

Explore the ruins

Mechanical junk creatures remain active in the ruins, making it dangerous to enter without protection. Witch gives you a lantern to guard against these dangers and help you find treasures deep inside.

You can customize the lantern with parts found in town or in the ruins. Its parts have different stats, which you can combine to improve it to suit your preferences. You can also give materials found in the ruins to Witch, who makes artifacts to aid your exploration and help you venture farther into the ruins.

Weapons and quests

At the town’s junk shop, you can use materials from the ruins to create and upgrade special weapons. Using different weapons can give you an advantage against formidable enemies.

Townspeople sometimes ask you to find something for them. Delivering an item found in the ruins may earn you a reward.
