There is a blackout in your area. It's midnight and you are all alone when you look through your security camera to notice - a dark figure starring at you, seeking to get in.

You'll need to turn on and refuel your generator to keep the malicious intruder away with lights or bolt the windows shut. Survive until the light of a new day may rescue you from the darkness.

Hey, i made it online multiplayer for day 6!


Defending My Home Against the Unseen Terror | Rural Blackout 5 | FNAF Inspired Horror Game (antarsoftgames.com)

this is cool, at first I was kinda mad about taking out of the main menu, but it seemed like it was an acednt so lets hope day 6 realizes there is a main menu, the music at first was..bad but then it got really good but then it stopped idk why maybe because the power ran out, I think the music overall would be awesome if it waas quiter by like 60%and I like the text you added for my level, I had 10 min so I just added helo(user name) but you made it better, but the time is moving much much faster, too fast

The time is moving faster not my fsult, the text was another trick and the musci stopping was an accident on forgetting to loop them.

oh ok gotcha

Hmm I can't find the ruins and also I wonder why the main menu isn't there anymore since that also had credits ingame. I also think the music should be a bit quieter, it's drowning out all the subtle sounds which can mess up the atmosphere a bit

Yeah the menu i by mistake rushed the build and forgot to unactivate the level select menu also you play new level after beating the first level

Can you not still change these things?

Dont have access to computer
