“Whilst adorable and clumsy in the light, Murkors transform into powerful beasts when in the shadows,” explain developers Playstark. “As the sun sets in each stage, choose how to combat the enemy and use light to your advantage to keep those pesky Murkors under control! Do you cross that chasm engulfed in shadow? Or can we get a bit more light in here?”

You can spot a bit of that light and shadow play down here in its playtest trailer.

In addition to just shooting up those squishy little Murkors, you’ll be hunting down loot and taking on quests before sunset hits and the boss arrives. Between runs you’ll unlock new items, abilities, and playable characters.

Playstark are currently running a playtest for the first level of the game, out of the five or six eventual planned levels, which you can play overon Steamuntil August 30th.

Die After Sunset is approaching an early access launch, which they’ve laid outan initial roadmapfor. Throughout early access Playstark will be adding new characters, quests, bosses, and eventually co-op multiplayer. They anticipate being in early access for around nine to twelve months.

Die After Sunset is still “coming soon” to early accesson Steam. You’ve got another week, until August 30th, to take part in that playtest if you’re keen to try your hand against the Murkors.
