You Want It Darker



Good evening.

We need you. Are you depressed enough to find yourselves in such a gloomy reality as in those screenshots? Or to put it bluntly, isn't this game too dark? If we were to make this world for ourselves, it would look like this. That's what Mercyful is right now, and we'd like to stay with the appearance.

I highly doubt we will let any sunlight into the game. This is a purely aesthetic choice. We want to stay in a wooden, underexposed styling to get something like the atmosphere that bothers you during attic and basement scenes in horror movies.

Nevertheless, our overwhelming darkness is a part of a coherent artistic vision... that can be called a whim. After all, it's you who are gonna play the game. Can you see anything or should we turn the lights on? We don't want you to fall asleep. Magnified, sanctified be thy holy will.
