The Darkness is a mod designed to put the players into a much more difficult position than that of the original Alien Swarm, by removing a lot of lighting, as well as adding support for 8 player cooperative games, both Online and Offline with bot support. Aliens burn in the light from flares, medpacks and buff mines, ala Pitch Black (Riddick), and of course the Bloodhound transport lights also have the same effect. The end goal is create a seperate version of Alien Swarm for the Riddick's among us. Enjoy! Development is in progress, and a working BETA is available.

Question: What is "The Darkness"?

Elementalist:
The Darkness for me is the realisation of a dream, of a game which is easily adapted to my desires and skills. It is much more to me than simply turning off the lights. It is a passion.

The modification removes most lighting, prefering a Doom3 style approach to the map mood and ambience, and makes the player use their eyes.

The best part for me is when players try to approach the modification like the stock game, and die simply because they do not focus enough on the objective. Which is to stay alive. To hide in the light.
