About Dark Matter
About this game
Developed by InterWave Studios and published by Iceberg Interactive.
Dark Matter is a 2.5D side-scrolling horror survival game where you'll have to survive after your spaceship has been infested by a sinister alien presence and deadly parasites.
Explore
There are 14 levels in total that you'll explore throughout your journey in Dark Matter. Through this exploration, you'll collect scrap and alien resources to then craft tools and health packs. Additionally, the exploration is non-linear, meaning that you may go where the wind takes you.
Raining Bullets
You'll have four weapons at your disposal, with a variety of ammo types, like Elemental, which affects the enemies through status effects such as freezing or setting on fire. Additionally, you can craft three upgrades to customize your weapons further!
Light & Darkness
The lighting effects aren't just for visual touches, as they are an integral part of the gameplay in Dark Matter.
