DarkSwitch
DarkSwitch is a vertical survival city builder where you manage a city built atop a colossal tree, high above a deadly fog that surrounds it. While city building and survival are the heart of the gameplay, you'll also engage in quests for exploration, defend your city against the mysterious threats, and unravel a multi-threaded storyline that shapes the future of your people. The narrative unfolds through quests, dialogues, and cutscenes, while gameplay evolves around tasks and building objectives, technology progression and community development. The main antagonist here is the enigmatic fog, named the Shroud by the townsfolk, which impacts citizens' health and morale, and is modeled using custom voxel grid technology, creating dynamic, unpredictable shifts and ambisonic SFX. DarkSwitch is being developed by an independent, diverse, and global team of veterans.
