Note: Following some discussions with Iceberg Interactive, we have been asked to remove Dark Matter from sale while the developer addresses the fact that the game's ending has some problems. The game will remain available for download for anyone who has already bought it. The developers have stated that they are working on a patch as a solution to this, and as we mentioned yesterday, anyone who wants a refund on their copy of their game is free to contact Support and we'll take care of you. Our apologies about this, and we hope that this helps address the problem. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment below.

Dark Matter, a Sci-Fi thriller that challenges you to explore the dark corridors of a defunct spacecraft where light is as scarce as the resources you need to survive.

What is Dark Matter? Imagine you're stranded in a giant defunct space exploration vessel, and you are not alone on board. There's an ominous alien parasitic presence lurking at every corner, hiding away in the air-shafts, creeping through the conduits. This is a metroidvania-type title set in deep space, where no one can hear you scream, curse at your enemies, or call for mummy when you're lost in the vast labyrinth of dark corridors. In this non-linear survival and exploration action game you'll be challenged to make it through 14 danger-filled areas designed in the spirit of the darkest gritty hard S-F. With four upgradable guns, crafting mechanics, resource management, dynamic lightning that genuinely affects gameplay, and a reactive soundtrack, this gripping game is sure to stop your heart a few times as you play.

YUS! This sounds better and better.

It would be an instabuy if my laptop was up to it, as it is I guess I'll buy it when I fix my PC or when it's on sale, whichever comes first. >_>

Well, went ahead and bought it, will be my weekend game. Hope the control scheme is fluid. Does it play well with an Xbox controller, or does it really need the mouse to shine?

I like the vibe of this.

Another thing:

Like any respectable metroidvania it has save points and crafting stations at those save points. Now why crafting stations? you may ask. Because the game is not going to just leave ammo laying around for you to find nor do the enemies drop health. It's your responsibility to make sure you are stocked up :) Personally, I like the craft your own ammo and health approach because it makes it more of a hidden threat and makes the player more cautious when fighting to preserve ammo and health packs :)

You're killing me here! I really want to play this but I can't at the moment. =(

But seriously, you've managed to convert me from cautious optimism to "I need to play this as soon as possible!" so you deserve a bonus or something.

I have an awesome job and I get to play games before they get released and then share any knowledge I have about them with you, the community :)

I think that's bonus enough :D

Judas is good at selling games, almost unnaturally so.

Ta Judas, and thanks for the further information about the gameplay. Looking forward to it even more and feeling like I may have made the right decision to seize this one. Cheers!

Plus you have that subtle but oh so cool monocle that some clever and handsome forum member made you. :D

Much appreciated! The game is downloading as I write and I'm quite excited to play it, so thanks again to you and to GOG for bringing me yet another game that I might have otherwise missed.

I watched some gameplay videos can someone tell his/hers honest opinion about animations. They look a bit clunky.

Here's one. Is this game pretty challenging, or is it another marshmallow?
