DarkMaus is an indie action RPG inspired by the game Dark Souls.  In DarkMaus, you play a lonely wanderer searching for what’s left in a corrupted world.  The odds are against you – you will certainly perish.

DarkMaus is being created by Daniel Wright, who is a graphics programmer at Epic Games by day and indie dev by night.  Daniel was compelled to make DarkMaus after becoming addicted to the depth of Dark Souls’ combat and the intensity of its merciless world.  That terror you feel when exploring a new area and you don’t know what to expect, that triumph over a foe who killed you countless times before when you were doing it wrong.  DarkMaus is a continuation of that theme with new gameplay mechanics.
