About the Game

Do you enjoy dungeonering in the dark?
What about when the dark is even... darker?
Then you'll love Back To The Dark!

Can you survive the encroaching dark long enough to extract through a blue escape portal? Or will you be forced to delve deeper in the darkness through a red portal?

Oh and don't forget to loot some treasure.
