The funding drive to bring innovative puzzle game ‘In The Dark’ to fruition has ended unsuccessfully.  

The company had sought funding of $10,000 to enable them to bring the game to Linux, Mac and Windows, with a view to iOS and Android ports too.

With only $7440 of the required $10,000 goal raised, the rules of Kickstarter dictate that unless a project meets their goal they receive nothing.

But that’s not the end of the road for the game according to Escapement Studios’ Mark Thompson. Sounding upbeat, he says that ‘In The Dark’ could yet find release, but that “it just might take longer than we had hoped for.”

Here’s hoping that ‘In The Dark’ finds its way into the light soon.
