DarkSwitch is a vertical survival city builder where you construct a settlement on a massive tree while defending against an encroaching threat called the Fog. You're working with constrained space—building upward rather than outward—which forces tough decisions about what to prioritize. Resources are scarce, so you'll need to balance expansion with survival needs. The game centers on uncovering what the Veil actually is, a mystery that drives the narrative forward. Expect moral dilemmas as you manage your settlement's growth under pressure. The tree itself is both your foundation and your protector, shaping how you approach defense and construction. If you like resource management with spatial constraints and don't mind making hard calls, this offers a distinct twist on the city builder format.
