update details
Eyes in the Dark stands out for its visual style. This project has completely black and white hand-drawn graphics. The game itself is a hybrid of a platformer and a simplified roguelike. The camera is located on the side. In this project you need to fight monsters and dispel the darkness with a flashlight. As you progress, the range of items increases. There are slingshots, boots, mines, matches, light bulbs and so on. There are a total of 320 items available in this title. While exploring locations, you need to collect sparks. This is an analogue of currency. You can use them to buy random upgrades from merchants. Combinations of upgrades and items change projectiles and significantly affect gameplay.
The video game Eyes in the Dark is about a girl named Victoria Bloom. With the help of light, she fights the darkness that has flooded her family estate. The estate itself is constantly changing. In the story, the heroine is trying to save her grandfather Victor. The map consists of 9 areas. The player makes his own way through them. The complexity here is dynamic. It does not depend on the user’s location in a specific zone, but on his progress. This system allows the gamer to go to difficult bosses early in his run to make the fight easier. The user is also allowed to periodically take modifiers. They give him useful abilities at the cost of complicating the gameplay. For example, you can take regeneration and increase the number of enemies, or reduce prices in stores and make enemies stronger.
