How to play Dark World

The rules land within the first few seconds of play. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. It fills the player in landscape, so use the fullscreen button on desktop and turn your phone sideways on mobile. Expect the first attempt to be a write-off; that is normal here.

Why it is worth playing

The reason Dark World holds up is restraint: it takes one idea — escape — and builds the whole game around it instead of padding it out. It earns the replay rather than demanding it.
