About

The Tree Provides, The Tree Protects, The Tree Prevails!

DarkSwitch 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.

  • Gather resources, research technologies, and send pioneers to explore the ruins of those who came before: discover their secrets and doom.  

  • 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!

Build your city upwards, utilizing both trunk and bough.
  • Limited horizontal space requires a strategy; construct zip lines and stairways to connect your growing settlement layers.

  • Manage raw and processed resources, production facilities, and citizen morale, while fortifying defenses to withstand fog's creeping chaos.

Fog drives your citizens to madness and conceals stalking terrors.
