In Dark and Bright you play Gourchweasel and his friends and you help them to find out more about that weird world they're travelling through. The game combines some RPG elements with arcade or puzzle elements, but all in all it is a story-driven game with a focus on what's happening to the four friends in that abstract world. And that's what I like about the game the most - the story is good! Really. I enjoyed it a lot, also a lot more than in some other, bigger and well-known RPGs. The game does a great job in telling the player the right amount of information (or only vague hints in the beginning) so that I was always interested in how the story continues. It all starts with a mysterious cutscene about two unknown characters at a bonfire - then we're following Grouchweasel on his journey. And that journey is weird, confusing, but interesting and also thrilling at the same time. There are many things that made me enjoy it so much - things happening again with small changes to the dialogues, the memories becoming more and more intense as you progress, mysterious characters who sometimes totally confuse you, the whole tone to everything with these simple but weird graphics which f…18 found this helpful

RPG Maker strikes again! This is another low effort retro-pixel JRPG ripoff spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." This isn't even a good RPG Maker game. This one is notably differentiated because the developers threw away the RPG Maker asset flips in favour of EVEN WORSE hand drawn middle school level graphics. They are quite seriously worse than a chimpanzee operating MS Paint. Gamers who want a good retro gaming experience would be better off playing the original Final Fantasy games or one of the better RPG Maker games. This $8 game serves no purpose other to alert the authorties that Valve has zero quality control.5 found this helpful
Great game. I enjoyed the story form the very intro onward. The game does a good job of delivering a type of introspective story driven style of progression. It made me want to know what these characters were thinking and how things are the way they are. The gameplay reminds me of a SNES style RPG but with more playful graphics. There is simplicity in the design but it also feels like a lived in world. I am looking forward to completing the game and I hope more content in the future.3 found this helpful
This is a good game, I enjoy it very much! This game has just a tone to it that makes it feel intense in a way, like you're playing something funny and weird in the beginning, but you're well advised to prepare for something big to come. I was thrilled to experience there actually seems to be a deeper meaning behind many of the things that happen. So, after revealing the first memories in the game, I was totally into the story and I'm excited for the outcome of everything, and the fates of the lovely written characters. Totally recommend!2 found this helpful
