DARLINGTIDE

A cute, spooky survivor-like bullet heaven.

Three nights. Nine bosses. One shrine darling.

You are the last darling of the Midnight Shrine. Charms fire themselves, the garden does not.

Build powerful weapons, discover evolutions, survive increasingly dangerous hordes, and take on three bosses every night.

THE TIDE IS COMING

Darlingtide is a fast-paced survivor-like built around short, intense runs.

Each night lasts 9 minutes, with three bosses standing between you and the end.

Level up. Choose your upgrades. Build your arsenal.

Then see whether your build can survive what comes next.

BUILD YOUR ARSENAL

Level up and choose from weapons, passives, and upgrades.

Combine them to discover powerful evolutions and turn increasingly ridiculous combinations of charms into increasingly ridiculous amounts of violence.

Every run is a chance to find a new build.

THREE NIGHTS. NINE BOSSES.

Each night endswith three dates you probably shouldn't have agreed to.

NIGHT ONE

Bone Empress • Velvet Priestess • Afterglow

NIGHT TWO

Lioness of Giza • Lady Linen • She of the Two Lands

NIGHT THREE

Fortune Teller • Ringmistress • Midway Mother

Survive all three nights and discover what waits beyond the tide.

GRUDGE

Grudge is a risk-and-reward system that lets you push your run further.

As your Grudge rises, additional enemies and encounters begin appearing.

At 50% Grudge, a miniboss appears.

Reach 100% Grudge and you'll trigger a full Grudge boss encounter.

The choice is yours:

Play it safe—or see what happens when you push your luck.
