Our take on DarkLast
Rather than centering its journey on reaching a landmark or solving environmental puzzles, DarkLast frames the forest as a place to escape. Combat with mutants and the protagonist’s past sit alongside exploration in this horror setting.
What is DarkLast?
Explore a forest far from civilization, where swamps and dense undergrowth are among the obstacles on the route out.
The journey is tied to understanding a troubled past, while the forest holds unexpected dangers. Other inhabitants are present in this decaying setting: mutants living in the area must be fought. DarkLast combines exploration and combat within a horror setting, with escape from the forest as the central objective.
How DarkLast plays
- 01Forest exploration
- The route toward escape crosses swamps and thick vegetation in an isolated wilderness.
- 02Mutant combat
- Mutants inhabiting the forest are opponents to fight during the journey.
- 03Past-focused story
- Understanding the protagonist’s dark history is part of the objective.
