Shining in the Darkness is a story-driven console-style RPG that takes place in the Kingdom of Thornwood. The kingdom has been invaded by Dark Sol's men, and it's up to you to defeat them. To do so, you'll need to find and collect the Arms of Light.
The gameplay involves turn-based combat and cartoony graphics, with dialogue displayed through dialog bubbles above the characters' heads. Since the protagonist doesn't speak, the story is told mainly through these interactions. The game has no sub-quests, but rather focuses on uncovering hidden secrets related to special metals needed for forging unique items. With around 25-30 hours of gameplay, you'll need to be careful before facing the final battle and ending sequence.
