Indie game developer and publisher Dark Point Games revealed their latest game during the Golden Joystick Awards, as we got our first look at Brightfall. This is a co-op open-world survival roguelite for 1-4 players, where you find yourself trapped on a cursed Celtic island that has been erased from maps and lost to history. You'll have to explore the island and find a way to survive it, or become consumed and a part of it for eternity. Enjoy the trailer here, as the game is planned for a 2026 release.
Brightfall
In Brightfall, light isn't just a resource, it's a weapon. Every torch, lantern, and bonfire pushes back the spreading gloom, restoring corrupted ground and revealing the island's lost secrets. But as light fades, the darkness grows bolder. Monsters emerge. Sanity slips. And even your allies may fall to the Dark Madness, a creeping affliction that twists the mind and body until nothing human remains. Survival is a shared struggle against time, dwindling supplies, and the creeping dark – whether you hold the light alone or together. One to four survivors can brave the island, scavenging, crafting, and defending the flame while your companions – living or spectral – drag you out of danger when the darkness closes in.
When someone falls, a precious Resurrection Token can pull them back from the brink; lose them all, and the expedition ends as the island reshapes itself once more. But not all is lost: knowledge wrested from the dark becomes new skills, blueprints, and upgrades that carry forward into the next run. Each attempt lets you push deeper, cleanse corrupted biomes, and raise sanctuaries that endure through resets. What begins as a fragile campfire slowly grows into a haven of fire and iron – a stubborn beacon determined to outshine the darkness.
- Living Darkness System: Light is your only weapon. Ignite lanterns, push back corruption, and carve circles of sanity in a world that twists with every flicker.
- Dynamic World Reactions: The environment and enemies respond to changes in brightness, forcing players to adapt their strategies as the darkness grows.
- Co-op Survival: Brave the cursed island with 1-4 players. Scavenge, craft, and defend your shared flame while arguing over who forgot the tinder again.
- Roguelite Progression: Every expedition brings rewards, where you unlock upgrades, new blueprints, and shared knowledge that carry over between resets.
- Celtic Horror Setting: Explore a haunting world inspired by 17th century post-plague England and Celtic myth, rarely seen in survival horror.
