About Dark Adaptation
Dark Adaptation by thawn is a free browser horror with a cruel sensory twist: go back to the shut-down orphanage to find your sister — but your eyes have adapted to darkness, and light will blind them. Five screenshots show the murk.
The mechanic is the metaphor: every illumination costs you. See less, know more.
How to Play
Search the orphanage for your sister while managing your adapted eyes — using light helps you see and costs you vision. Balance both to survive the search.
Controls
Mouse / keyboard – move and use light
See the original itch.io page for the developer's control notes.
Tips & Tricks
The title is the tutorial — dark adaptation is a resource; spend light like money.
Horror games about light punish torch-spamming. This one, especially.
