Our take on Daardoa
The protagonists cannot fight Daardoa; staying alive means running while carrying out their tasks.
What is Daardoa?
Daardoa is a surreal horror game built around a repeating day-and-night cycle.
Players control Nox and Lux, who bring night and day to the realm with the Azure Medal. Daardoa hunts the protagonists, and combat is not an option: they can run and must keep moving. Exploration involves uncovering secrets, learning about the characters, finding the ancients, and bringing them to the church. The ancients also have to be brought to their homes. The world is guarded by Daardoa, and the cycle of light and darkness shapes the journey.
