About Shot In The Dark

In a dystopian future, multiple factions have sent their agents to collect sensitive government information. You take control of one of these agents in an attempt to survive this super stealthy skirmish. With Inviso-Tech, powered by draining all electrical systems in the surrounding area, light is a commodity and life is a fleeting resource. Only one can emerge triumphant. Equipped with top of the line government issued technology. You must utilize sound, what minimal sight you have and an incredibly powerful cold-fusion pulse rifle to eradicate the enemy and ensure your own survival. Every shot counts for the beam produced by your weapon can be your own downfall. Calling this a game of survival is an understatement, this is risk, this is chance, this is... Shot In The Dark.

What Steam players say

✦ AI summary

Shot In The Dark is a dead multiplayer game with no active player base or servers, making it unplayable in practice. Players report it was plagued by bugs and broken features even at launch, with basic functionality like achievements not working properly, and the complete lack of bots or single-player content leaves nothing to do. Most reviewers recommend avoiding it entirely and suggest playing Screencheat as a superior alternative instead.

Look, I get that Shot In The Dark is super old and hasn’t been updated in forever, but this thing was busted straight out of the gate. Achievements and other basic stuff didn’t even work properly when it came out.. just skip it.

Игра «Shot In The Dark» предлагает увлекательный геймплей с элементами тактики и стрельбы в условиях низкой видимости. Сюжет разворачивается в атмосферном, напряженном мире, где игроку предстоит преодолеть сложные уровни, используя ограниченные ресурсы и стратегическое мышление. Графика сдержана, но эффектно передает теневые зоны и напряжение. Звуковое сопровождение усиливает ощущение опасности. Однако механики могут показаться повторяющимися, а некоторые уровни — излишне сложными. Подойдет фанатам тактических шутеров, ценящих атмосферу и интеллектуальные вызовы.

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
