Original Steam description
Everything is visible but the Dark.
Reveal the tiles beside your pawns, one step at a time, as you explore an 8×8 dungeon in this tactical puzzler.
The Tension of Exploring the Unknown
The dungeon is shrouded in darkness. Move your pawns forward, one step at a time, and venture into the unknown.
Nothing there? No. You were spared.
One Step Between Life and Death
Taking your last step into the Dark is rarely a wise move. What will you do if an enemy is lurking there?
Minimalist Board-Game Rules, High-Stakes Decisions
No misses. No critical hits. If an enemy with 3 ATK attacks a pawn with 3 HP, that pawn goes down. There's no luck involved in combat.
That's why you must read every piece of visible information, make the most of your limited resources, and find a way through this unforgiving tactical puzzler.
Every Step, Every Move, Every Point Matters
The thief has reached the stairs, but enemies have them surrounded. One step left. So, what's your next move?
