Every light in town went out

Blackout City

You are a kid trapped in a city that went dark overnight. Explore the abandoned streets, collect batteries, and bring the streetlights back on. Restore enough of them and a new street opens. Something hides in the shadows. Find out what happened.

Move: WASD or arrow keys (strafe and walk). On touch, use the joystick.
Look: move the mouse after clicking the city, turn with Q and E, or drag the screen on touch.
Action: Space or Enter, or the action button. Light a dead lamp, or load a battery into your flashlight.
Two lit streetlights in a district open the way forward.
Shadows cannot enter lamp light. Sweep your beam over them to push them back.
Find a pistol in the streets. Click, press F, or tap Fire to shoot.

The source of the dark

The lights come back

The Core sits beneath the old substation: a black machine pulling light down into a crack in the ground. You pull the breaker. Somewhere below, the humming stops. Across the city, the streetlights flicker, then hold steady. Maple Street is bright again.
