'There is No Light' Targets September Launch, Updated PC Demo Available Now

There Is No Light is a pixel-art post-apocalyptic action/adventure where you explore a grim underworld and slay hordes of demonic creatures.

After the global catastrophe, the remains of the human civilization built a new religious society among the ruins of the desolated underground. They have forgotten the light of the sun and now are blindly following the New God — The Great Hand. Once in a few years, The Hand comes down to the people of the Central Station and takes away the chosen newborns to the world hidden behind the gates of the Sanctuary. The Hero embarks on a dangerous journey through the hostile world to find a way to open the gates and bring his child back.

Explore the game world, listen to the stories of survivors, vanquish hordes of bloodthirsty demonic creatures and fight deadly Bosses to fulfill your goal — save your child who has been taken away by the Church. 

In the gameplay core of There Is No Light lies an aggressive fighting style. It resembles a deadly dance, where each mistake can be your last one and avoiding battle is not an option. The game features a Rage system, which builds up when damage is inflicted on enemies and the environment and the hero can use special abilities of weapons in order to gain an advantage in battle. 

Developer Zelart and publisher HypeTrain Digital announced that There Is No Light will be released in September 2022 on Steam, Epic Games Store and GOG. 

An updated demo of the game has launched on Steam today — it will remain available for players throughout the whole Steam Next Fest, until June 20. New demo features two difficulty modes, new weapons, reworked combat system and controls, and many other minor tweaks.

Key Features:

  • Non-linear Narrative. Create your own adventure by exploring the story and in-game world as you want it.
  • Four types of Magic and Bladed Weapons, each with unique abilities and skills to upgrade.
  • Filled with Rage. A Rage gauge builds up when damage is inflicted on enemies and the environment, allowing to slay your opponents quickly and efficiently.
  • Extraordinary Combat provided by rapid battle style, varieties of weapons, and hordes of otherworldly creatures.
  • Four unique in-game locations that were inspired by classic post-apocalyptic and dark fantasy visuals.
  • Varieties of dreadful Bosses that were designed to eliminate your character in various and brutal ways.
  • Numerous NPC each with unique story quests for you to maintain.
  • Karma system. Your actions and decisions will affect the state of the Underworld.

There Is No Light is coming to PC (Steam) in September 2022, followed by Nintendo Switch, PS4 and Xbox One at a later time
