Press release:
PQube (London, UK) – May 2nd, 2024.
The London-based (the UK) indie games publisher PQube and indie games developers Electric Monkeys (Brazil), and Secret Level Studios (the UK), are today very happy and excited to announce that their survival/roguelite “When the Light Dies“, is now available for PC via Steam Early Access.

“When the Light Dies” is a survival game with roguelite elements set in a desolate, frozen wilderness. Step into a murky world of shadow and obscurity as a lone survivor fighting to keep the darkness and the horrors that lurk within at bay.

Repel monstrous hordes: Utilise an arsenal of weapons to hold back waves of foul creatures closing in from all directions.
Keep the light burning: Light scattered firepits and refill your oil lantern to stave off the encroaching darkness. As the light levels drop so does your sanity, resulting in faster and more deadly adversaries.
Survive a hostile environment: Manage your temperature gauge and be mindful of the adverse effects of frostbite.
Scavenge the wastes: Search a nightmarish, procedurally generated world for precious supplies. Consume food to stay healthy and read books to calm your feverish mind.
Grow your power: Absorb the souls of the slain and unlock powerful new abilities. Pin, reroll, and stack upgrades to develop your character as you choose.
Cast forbidden dark magic: Gain eldritch knowledge and expend sanity to unleash cosmic blasts, baleful flames, and unholy healing spells.
The stars will align: Death is not the end. Look to the night sky and chart a course through strange and esoteric constellations to gain permanent stat buffs and abilities.

A selection of new items to collect and increase your chances of survival.
A powerful new weapon to unlock and experiment with.
A second end of stage boss encounter to add an extra level of challenge.
