Midwest Games an industry veteran-led publisher whose mission is to support and showcase abundant talent across the Midwest and underrepresented regions, and southwest indie developer Ganymede Games are proud to announce that turn-based sci-fi deck-building RPG Dark Sky is set to release on September 24, 2024 on Windows PC via Steam and GOG.
Dark Sky offers a fresh experience for deckbuilding and RPG players, featuring in-depth character card customization, strategic combat, and clever card synergies to explore. Set on the once peaceful mining planet, Wolf Prime, players will engage in card and grid-based combat, optimize their party’s abilities, study their enemies, and exploit their weaknesses to maximize damage and, ultimately, liberate their home.
Players will take on the role of Squig, a modest shipyard worker who has witnessed a mysterious force pull all spacecraft down from the sky, shrouding the landscape in wreckage, debris, and danger. With the help of Squig and his friend Norton, players will gather a team of survivors for a journey to uncover the mystery behind the sudden cataclysm. As devastation rains from above, players must take matters into their own hands before Wolf Prime is torn apart.
