Sometimes all it takes to interest you in a game is a single image or video. Sometimes all it takes is a title or a name. And sometimes all it takes is a one-line description.
DarkMaus succeeds on all three points.
In DarkMaus, you play a lonely wanderer searching for what’s left in a corrupted world. The odds are against you – you will certainly perish.
Even at this early stage the art style and animation really appeal, and you can never go wrong being mauled to death by a swarm of spiders.
Under active development by Daniel Wright, a graphics programmer at Epic Games with a nocturnal indie dev alter-ego, DarkMaus is definitely one to watch. There’s an alpha build coming soon and you can bet I’m going to be in line with my hand firmly up.
