About the game

Castle In The Darkness is a fun and challenging shout out to the early days of video games! It's an action exploration platformer with some RPG elements, much like games from the Castlevania or Metroid series. It's super fast-paced, challenging, and full of secrets!

    Its got lots of troll instant kills that make you lose up to minutes of progress, and it only has enough content to justify maybe $4. Not $10.

    Definitely a tight, no-nonsense (but also lots of nonsense) experience but with plenty to explore. I didn't really have any issue finding what I needed although I learned I did things a bit out of order and had to backtrack a bit, but it rarely felt tiresome (I find myself spoiled by too many checkpoints or fast travel everywhere in other games to think this one might have asked too much of me to walk around a bit).…
