What is Darkout?
This single-player, 2D survival game takes place on Illuna, where you crash-land alone. You explore procedurally generated biomes, mine resources, build shelters, craft equipment, and research technology in a world without full daylight. Logs left by earlier inhabitants reveal the planet's history.
For you if...
- +you enjoy open-ended building projects in a sci-fi setting
Not for you if...
- −you want cooperative survival rather than playing alone
- −you dislike mining and gathering materials for crafting
