Do you enjoy dungeonering in the dark
How about when the dark is even... darker
Then you'll love Back To The Dark! A dungeon delving demake demo.

Singleplayer demo of a medieval-fantasy extraction melee-looter with the occasional arrow and spell. 

Can you survive the encroaching dark long enough to extract through a blue escape portal? Or will you be forced to delve deeper in the darkness through a red portal?

Oh and don't forget to loot some treasure.
