Dark Sky FAQ
Hey everyone,
Thank you and welcome to everyone who bought Dark Sky during the Steam Spring sale. To existing and returning players, your continued support means the world to the team. Today we wanted to answer some frequently-asked-questions that we've received on social media, discord, and here on steam. If you have any questions we didn’t hit on here - hop over into the discussions tab or join our Discord!
How long is the average playthrough?
Play time varies, but we'd say 11-13 hours is a fairly average playthrough.
Does the game have controller support?
Yes, Dark Sky has full Xbox based-controller compatibility.
Will you be releasing another demo?
As of now, we do not have plans to release another demo.
What games inspired Dark Sky?
Dark Sky was inspired by many amazing games such as Slay the Spire, Steamworld Quest, Magic the Gathering, and Into the Breach!
Why did you switch the name from Xenotheria to Dark Sky?
While we loved the name Xenotheria, it was often mispronounced and misspelled. After months of brainstorming, our character artist, Chris, proposed Dark Sky. It clicked with the team and we knew we had something special. Dark Sky evokes a sense of mystery, ties directly into the themes of the narrative.
Is the game playable on Steam deck?
While not Steamdeck Verified, due to Steam having a big backlog on that front, we worked hard to make sure Steamdeck players have a good experience. Our team has been playing and testing the game on Steamdeck, and it runs pretty well but let us know if you have any feedback!
Is the game replayable?
The story is linear for each playthrough; however, you can play it multiple times with different builds, upgrades, cards, etc.
