Want to know why Dark and Darker has so many people hooked? Here, I'll explore two key design concepts that, in combination, keep you playing Dark and Darker.

Dark and Darker (and other extraction games) are more approachable hardcore survival games that keep you hooked once they bring you in.

Dark and Darker is the first extraction-style game I've played, and I was blown away by how addicted I quickly became. It was so much fun, and I only wish I could have kept playing it. This video shows my opinion on why this game is designed in a way that keeps you coming back for more, through elements of gambling and competition.

Thanks for watching!
