In a world of ancient legends, where the shadows reign supreme, and darkness is a virtue, there exists a creature of the night known as Murk. Born in fear of the Sun's deadly rays, this being has lived in obscurity, hidden away in the deepest, darkest corners of the land. And yet, Murk is not content with his secluded existence. He longs to extend the duration of the night, to keep his world forever shrouded in darkness. But to do so, he must gather dust and shining light from mushrooms, stars, and dew and fill his dark machine. Thus begins a perilous journey through the treacherous forests and murky swamps, where the creatures of the night thrive, and the dangers lurk in every shadow. With your help, Murk must evade the perils that lie ahead, collecting all the light he can to power his machine and keep the night alive.
