What is Enlightenment?

This single-player, top-down shooter takes place in the Ark, a cult-built underground complex in a world devastated by an asteroid. You fight enemies and use the environment to your advantage in procedurally generated dungeons. Death returns you to camp, where merchants sell weapons and consumables for future attempts.

Not for you if...

−you want forgiving combat and a relaxed difficulty
