Day 61

Hunger consumed the weaker members of my crew.

Then the cold took the strong.

Now those, things… that lurk out there... out in the darkness... come for me.

My supplies are diminished. The lamp oil is running low.

But I have bullets. So many bullets.

A bullet for every beast that now stalks me beyond the reach of the lantern’s flame!

That's right! The time has come! FACE ME YOU BASTARDS!

When the Light Dies is a survival game with roguelite elements set in a desolate, frozen wilderness. Step into a murky world of shadow and obscurity as a lone survivor fighting to keep the darkness and the horrors that lurk within at bay.

Features

Repel monstrous hordes: Experiment with multiple character classes and utilise an arsenal of weapons to hold back waves of foul creatures closing in from all directions.

Keep the light burning: Light firepits and refill your lantern to stave off the encroaching darkness. As the light levels drop, so does your sanity, resulting in faster and more deadly adversaries.

Survive a hostile environment: Manage your temperature gauge and be mindful of the adverse effects of frostbite.

Scavenge the wastes: Search a nightmarish, procedurally generated world for precious supplies. Consume food to stay healthy and read books to calm your feverish mind.

Grow your power: Absorb the souls of the slain to unlock powerful new abilities and weapon upgrades. Pin, reroll, and stack upgrades to develop your character as you choose.

Cast forbidden dark magic: Gain eldritch knowledge and expend sanity to unleash cosmic blasts, baleful flames, and unholy healing spells.

The stars will align: Death is not the end. Look to the night sky and chart a course through esoteric constellations to gain permanent stat buffs and bonuses to increase your chances of survival.
