One of the most popular demos during February’s Steam Next Fest was for a game called Dark and Darker: a PvPvE dungeon crawler that let players pick one of six fantasy classes and journey into lost catacombs for gold and glory. Many who played the demo described it as a fantasy version of Escape from Tarkov, which is high praise given that game’s popularity and influence. But you won’t find Dark and Darker on Steam now. The game has seemingly been swallowed by a digital black hole. You might think that someone must have a great reason for removing a runaway Steam hit from the platform, but this story is a little stranger than that.
