  1. Release date: unknown
  2. Why worth the wait: A really dark and mysterious hack'n'slash is coming

We don't know much about Spark in the Dark, the debut production of Stellar Fish studio, and the information given so far, is rather vague. The game takes us through procedurally generated dungeons, which, according to the story, were built centuries ago and hide dark secrets and terrifying creatures. As a lone hero, we will explore them in search of these secrets, and will learn the plot thanks to books and notebooks scattered around.

At the beginning of the game, we get five character classes to choose from – each of them will have different skills. The hero will be developed through gained experience and items, just like in standard RPGs. And though not much is known about Spark in the Dark, it has already managed to interest players, mainly because of the dark and gloomy atmosphere, which is pouring out of the first screenshots and gameplay videos.
