Duskers, the scary command line game, is getting a sequel

Duskers 2.0 is officially happening, and the loudest part of the story isn’t just the sequel itself — it’s the comment-section mood swing. Developer Misfits Attic revealed the follow-up during the PC Gaming Show, with funding from Stray Signal, a new game fund from Unknown Worlds co-founder Max McGuire. That’s the clean business version. The messy fan version? People are acting like they’ve just seen their favorite haunted house reopen — and remembered how much they screamed the first time.

The strongest reaction is pure admiration mixed with panic. One fan called the original a “very cool game” with top notch execution, then immediately reminded everyone it was also “very difficult and stressful” — which is basically the perfect ad for Duskers. Another commenter skipped the celebration entirely and went straight into lore detective mode, asking what actually caused the end of the world and politely begging for “moderate spoilers.” Meanwhile, platform drama arrived right on cue: one disappointed player groaned that it’s Windows only, saying they loved the first game and are now just hoping for a Mac version. And then there’s the funniest micro-reaction of all: one dry little comment quoting “command line” like it’s the scariest phrase in the trailer.

So yes, the sequel reveal is big. But the real vibe is fans saying, "I loved this terrifying thing, it ruined my nerves, and I’m absolutely ready to do it again".
