About the Game

"Dark Grid" is the first game brought to you by this solo developer. It is a 2D game with survival and exploration as its core gameplay.

An Indiscernible "Friend"

The world is plunged into darkness, with only a single warm lighthouse remaining. After you wake up beside it, a [shrill voice] that calls itself your friend echoes in your ear. It wants you to maintain the lighthouse's operation. In the days that follow, this voice becomes increasingly difficult to fathom because:

• It periodically sends monsters to damage the lighthouse, yet demands that you repair it.

• When you are short on food, it continuously sends supplies.

• It often says things that are hard to distinguish between truth and lies.

Offer to the Darkness

Simultaneously, another [hoarse voice] communicates with you. It seems to possess boundless dark power. If you offer sacrifices to it, it will grant you:

• Various powerful abilities.

• The ability to trade with it.

• Guidance and assistance.

Exploration and Gathering

The entire world is shrouded in darkness. When venturing out to explore, you must raise your torch, carefully illuminating the path ahead, and slowly piece together the shape of this world.

• Gather discovered food to fill your stomach.

• Search for fuel to maintain the lighthouse; do not let its light go out.

• Collect resources to expand your base.

• Discover mysteries and surprises hidden throughout the map.

Plant Seeds and Await the Harvest

Resources in the wild may not be enough to sustain you. You need to plant seeds and wait for them to grow, harvesting them in the future.

• Plant tree seeds to ensure a future supply of wood.

• If you build a tree nursery, trees will continuously grow around it.

• Build a simple small greenhouse to achieve food self-sufficiency, saving you from running around just to fill your stomach.

Cook Food to Eat Better

Want a hot dinner? Light a fire and start cooking! Even without seasonings, in this barren world, it's more than enough.

• Your stomach is growling! The pressure to avoid starvation is no small matter.

• Build a simple stove to cook the food you've gathered.

• Cooking different foods together provides higher calories and satiety.

Construct Various Buildings

To survive in this world full of pressure, you must rely on your own diligent hands. Construct various buildings to bring all sorts of conveniences:

• Provide illumination to dispel the darkness.

• Unlock knowledge of more building recipes.

• Combine several items into another material.

• Continuously produce resources for you.

Additional Words from the Developer

This is the developer's first game released on Steam, and it's currently under full-scale development. The official version is planned for release in Q4 2025.

The game is certainly not perfect. After playing, you might complain: "What a trash game!" But it carries my hard work and dedication. I will actively improve it! If you have any suggestions for improvement or encounter any bugs, please feel free to contact me. This will help me continuously hone my game design and development skills to bring you better games in the future!

Enjoy the game!
