Our take on Rumia in the darkness
Its defining structure is a village-wide stealth infiltration where detection escalates toward failure, while eating humans provides Rumia with new skills.
What is Rumia in the darkness?
Rumia in the Darkness is a dark adventure game combining strategy, puzzles, and stealth.
Rumia enters a human village to stop a merchant who plans to alter the historical names of the youkai and weaken their powers. She must move through the village without being detected, while NPCs with visual ranges may spot her and flee. Being seen by several people causes failure. Eating humans grants Rumia new skills. The game includes 10 maps, each with different puzzles, and uses black humor in its story. It supports Simplified Chinese, English, and Japanese, and includes Steam Cloud support. The game is a fan work based on the Touhou Project series.
