Crack In The Dark
A downloadable game for Windows
Living in caves for centuries has taken your sight but evolved your hearing. After a turning point in your tribe's history, you encounter cave monsters. With a whip in hand, your only option is to fight and adapt to the harsh conditions of a new environment.
Key Features
- Echolocation - use your heightened hearing to see in the dark.
- Sensitive Ears - a whip would seem like the perfect tool for "seeing" in the dark, but don't overdo it or you could go deaf.
- Grappling - your whip is more than just a weapon, it's also your mode of transportation.
- Monsters - encounter enemies with unique characteristics and behaviors. You will have to uncover their weaknesses and learn how to exploit them.

Interesting concept!
While obviously a prototype, the core idea is pretty neat.
Things to note:
In the tutorial, it's unclear, whether or not Parry is the last action you are taught, since it's hard to tell, if you have managed to parry an attack. Maybe add a visual or sound que, that you have successfully parried or maybe allow the parry to grant you vision.
Being in complete darkness can get disorienting. Since the only way to get your bearings is to crack the whip, either need the whiplash to allow you to see for a longer period of time or will need to introduce other forms of extending vision time.
Looking forward to the next update, whenever it rolls out!
