About the Game

The Sun no longer shines, and now there’s an apocalypse. Darkness becomes the new dawn as it consumes the world and its people. Those who remain cling onto a fading, flickering torch and those who don’t were either devoured by blackened creatures or slaughtered by desperate survivors. You are a survivor, and you must do whatever it takes to keep your torch aflame because your torch is the only thing capable of fending off that horrible oblivion. Your torch is your one and only hope of finding a way to escape this madness.
