About the Game

"Intercept the enemy's breathing over the radio frequencies, and command the battlefield by tapping out Morse code."

War In The Dark is a 1-bit turn-based wiretapping simulation set in a 1950s monochrome battlefield. Without a mouse or complex interfaces, you command your allied forces solely by decoding and tapping Morse code using the 'Spacebar'. A fierce and unfamiliar battle of wits to pinpoint unseen enemies and control the battlefield begins now.

A battlefield in the dark—the only thing you can trust is the frequency.

As a wiretapping commander, you must survive the pitch-black fog of war. The enemy's location and intentions are invisible, discernible only through the dull taps of Morse code over the radio. Track the enemy's communication frequencies and analyze the incoming dots (.) and dashes (-) to accurately decipher their operational time and movement targets. A single mistranslation leads directly to fatal casualties for your forces
