Those participating in High-rollers will get to compete in the game’s first implementation of a leaderboard feature, where you can see the top players in either player kills, treasure gathering, or escapes.

The new high is likely due to the addition of a high-rollers mode during Playtest #3, where players will need to spend gold to enter these lobbies.

The reception of the game still in development is mostly positive as it’s a nice spin of high-risk gameplay where everything you bring in a match could be lost if you get killed by PvE encounters or actual players in the same game. Ironmace also announced that the third playtest made Dark and Darker reach over 1 million testers, providing a series of data to further contribute to the development of the high-risk dungeon crawler.ĭark and Darker is making waves as the game was able to reach over fifty thousand concurrent players during its third playtest session. We’ll update this page as soon as Ironmace provides more information, such as when the servers go live in each region. There’s currently no details on what to expect in February or how long Playtest #4 will be, as it’s not clear if the playtest will only be available during Nextfest, but based on previous Playtests, an extension could happen. One unlucky subway passenger is trapped on the subway.The third playtest for Dark and Darker has sadly concluded, but developer Ironmace have already announced that there will be another playtest next year in February 2023, during Steam’s upcoming Nextfest event happening from February 6 - 13. July 2018 the monsters of Plum Island escaped a secret lab in the NYC subway system. Reports suggested that Plum Island started experimenting on humans not just animals. Two years later another monster washed up on shore but this time it was a human with elongated body parts. Not far from the beach was Plum Island Animal Research Center which is known for its innovative animal experiments. The monster looked like a strange mix of pig and dog. Beachgoers stood there scared and confused. The game's story is centered around real-life events that occurred July 2008 in Long Island, New York when the "Montauk Monster" washed ashore. Burning zombies with your flashlight and hiding in closets might be the best way to survive but you can choose the way you escape the subway. Not only will you face a ton of puzzles but you will encounter zombies, vicious dogs and a slew of other monsters. Trapped in the subway with nothing but a flashlight, no guns or knives around.

It’s more of a thriller than a horror game, even though monsters will swarm you once your flashlight battery dies(Hence the name Die in the Dark). Die in the Dark is a first-person exploration and adventure story-based game.
