Game Introduction
An overview of what Darkness Blooms is all about.
Darkness Blooms
A Story-Driven Retro RPG
About The Game
Darkness Blooms is a deeply story-driven narrative team-based RPG. Through retro style pixel art and animation, a story of 6 unlikely young adults are drawn together and given the opportunity to be heroes whether they asked for it or not.
Inspired by classic RPGs like Final Fantasy and Zelda, mixed with the art style of Stardew Valley, Darkness Blooms combines nostalgic gameplay with modern narrative techniques.
The game is being solo developed by me, including all the artwork, programming, and narrative storytelling.
The Characters
Meet the heroes of Darkness Blooms: Ellie, Nixxy, Billy, Asher, Player1, and KK. Each character has their own story, abilities, and backgrounds that make them special.
"In the darkest of times, even the smallest light can bloom into something extraordinary."
- Ellie, Darkness Blooms
The Story
The main story follows overarching themes and narratives that give players an idea of what to expect. Without spoiling anything, expect a journey that will challenge what you think about heroes and villains.
"It's like everyone tells a story about themselves inside their own head. Always. All the time. That story makes you what you are. We build ourselves out of that story."
- Patrick Rothfuss
