This is Niche Spotlight. In this column, we regularly introduce new games to our fans, so please leave feedback and let us know if there’s a game you want us to cover!

Today’s Spotlight is Quest Hunter, a quirky co-op focused dungeon-crawling RPG by 2 Zombie Games that just left Early Access.

Band together with your friends and bring light to the Dark World, a fantasy realm that has been plunged into perpetual night.

Explore procedurally generated dungeons, interact with characters in a branching storyline, and defeat massive bosses to earn valuable loot. You can check out the latest trailer above.

The perpetual night story gimmick also features into gameplay. Enemies scatter or get weaker when exposed to the light of your trusty torch, and players can create more light sources in a level to give them an edge over the creatures lurking in the dark.

Quest Hunter is available on Windows PC, Mac, and Linux via Steam for $14.99.

Here’s a rundown of the game:

Welcome to the Dark World. The world that is ruled by its own laws. The world where fire is the main treasure, and a shovel is a loyal friend and assistant. There’s enough trouble for villains here but there’s double trouble for heroes. And remember: you are safe only by the light of the torch!

As a hero you will have to:

• Level up and equip yourself.
