Darkout is a sandbox action-game with survival, RPG and strategy components. You are the only survivor after your escape pod crashes on a strange planet. The environment is full of mysterious and hostile shadow creatures, and the only way to survive will be to gather resources used to craft and researching new weapons and technologies. The world is sunk in permanent darkness and the shadow creatures surrounding you are only sensitive to the light, which plays a key role in your battle against the dark.

You will have to use your strategic skills to build up new facilities which will allow you to progress further and explore the vast landscape. Darkout brings a completely new experience to the player, frenetic, distressing and graphically superior to what has been seen before in the sandbox genre.

The game development is constantly evolving, so we keep adding new features and improving the existing ones:

• Unlimited randomly generated worlds providing endless possibilities for replay.
• Use of the light plays a key role in the game, it will attract enemies, but you can use it to defeat them (feature now partially implemented).
• HD graphics and unique visual style.
• Craft new materials, weapons and armour.
• Explore and collect resources to research new technologies.
• Hollywood quality soundtrack.
• We keep permanently updating the game, thanks to our committed testers community, each new public update is intensely played and all the big bugs identified get ironed out before releasing.
• The game is evolving towards a shared vision between the devs and the community. We have a suggestions forum were you can drop your ideas and we will do our best to put them in the game (http://darkoutgame.net/index.php?forums/suggestions.7/)
• Backstory implemented through relics spread all over the world, you will also get to unlock some unique items (weapons, armour, resource, etc).
• Complex and realistic power wiring system that will allow you to trigger devices and activate lights of your base and its surroundings.
• You can craft sleds and use them as mobile storage as well as creating moving platforms and lifts.
• Every week we do streaming of the test version of game, showing the most relevant updates and fixes: http://www.twitch.tv/darkoutgame

Upcoming updates (summer-fall 2013):
• Further game backstory implementation through relics.
• Completely revamped Dark vs. Light mechanics, along with improved enemy AI.
• Addition of our first Boss 'The Brute'.
• Addition of a male character.
• Multiplayer support (more than 50 players per game, several modes, co-op and versus, based)
• Game translations to several languages. (we will try to cover the same languages that are available in the wiki)
