In The Dark 2

Pre-order the physical edition from ModRetro now to secure your copy!

IN THE DARK 2 is a 2D puzzle game featuring over 1,000 puzzles with the same solution: turn the lights out. Each light, when turned on or off, will flip the states of the lights adjacent to it.

IN THE DARK 2 takes the idea of In The Dark and expands upon the original formula by not only increasing the challenge, complexity, and depth of puzzles with up to 5x5 grid light arrays but also offers irregular light patterns beyond a uniform array (see screenshots). The sci-fi story is brought to a larger stage, where pieces will be revealed not only by beating the puzzles but unraveling the mystery of the purpose behind them through clues on each of the planets.

IN THE DARK 2 is not just a puzzle game though, as we have also included a series of Top-Down Shoot 'em Up Missions so you can enjoy some Arcade Action between the mind-bending puzzles!
