From Darkness

From Darkness is a 2D side-scrolling game about building a town and defending it from bandits and looters who emerge from the forest. You recruit villagers and vagabonds, expand your settlement and raise an army as nightly attacks grow more dangerous.

Build your town

Villagers generate income that you can use to expand and upgrade the town. You can convert vagabonds from camps beyond the town border into villagers who help with daily tasks. Space in the forest is limited, so you must choose which facilities to build and where; your route through the available options can increase your numbers but leave your soldiers weak.

Facilities include:

• Inn
• Hospital
• Barracks
• Archery
• Bank
• Farms

The game has three biomes, each offering different benefits to your town. It also features high-definition 2D scenery and day-night cycles.

Defend the town

You control a single character, while NPCs carry out the roles and duties you assign them during the day. At night, soldiers protect the town border as enemies attack. If they break through, they head for the Town Center and try to destroy it; losing the Town Center ends the game.
