What it is about
Coming early 2027. Follow to get notified when it's out. The torch is burning down. But you know the way out is close. You can feel it in your bones. And with every step, something you had forgotten comes back. Six Faces of Darkness is a solo D6 dungeon crawler about surviving the dark and uncovering the story within. You wake alone in a cave with no memory of how you got there. Each turn you move forward, find something useful, survive a trap, face a cave dweller, bend to the will of the cave, or recover a memory. But be careful, and hurry. Escape before the darkness takes you. The game tells two parallel journeys at once. One is a physical journey out of the cave. The other is an inner journey back to yourself. As you go deeper, you recover your memories across six stages of your character’s life. If you are lucky, by the end you will know who you were. Or at least know yourself a little better.
