Dark Switch is a vertical survival city builder set in the boughs of a gigantic tree. Defend your leafy home against the perils of the creeping fog by managing light and flame.

Set in a world of folk horror and creeping dread, DarkSwitch blends vertical city-building, tower defense, and exploration into a unique strategic experience.
Navigate a stunning, dangerous, dark fantasy world enriched by cinematic cutscenes and an atmospheric soundtrack from Silent Hill composer Akira Yamaoka!
