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's There Is No Light kickstarter campaign was supported by more than 2000 backers and raised over $70k, which is 240% of the initial goal. A number of stretch goals have been reached — thanks to that the game will get:

• Additional side-quests
• The Bestiary (concept art and description of every boss, location, creature and race)
• Upgraded VFX
• Second ending
• New game+ mode (more enemies in every location, all weapons available from the start, the karma system applied to more bosses and mobs)
• New mechanic — Reports to the Sun Corps (allows the player to make decisions leading to major changes in the in-game locations and Karma)

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.
