6	Dark Scavenger is a [[PointAndClickGame point 'n click]], sometimes [[FirstPersonPerspective first-person]], sometimes [[TopDownView top-down]] {{RPG}} with turn based combat developed and published by Psydra Games in 2014. It's weird.

8	It begins when you're drifting aimlessly through space (for some reason), and suddenly a giant, alien, extra-dimensional blob-thing comes and beats the daylights out of you. You wake up in a ship surrounded by three aliens; Kamaho, a polite skeleton man, Falsen, a green-skinned businessman, and Gazer, a large creature with sleek black skin and no mouth. They explain that they've detected a large source of power on the planet below, and they need your help to find it so they can fuel their ship. However, you soon realize there's more to what's happening then you first thought...

12	!!Dark Scavenger contains examples of:
13
14	* AdventureGame: Mixed with StrategyRPG.
15	* CerebusSyndrome: The game starts off with a dark and surreal sense of humor, but it never becomes downright disturbing. Later on in the game it becomes much darker. The creator, Alex Gold, has cited ''VideoGame/{{EarthBound\|1994}}'' as a main inspiration for the game, which would be a good explanation.
16	* FirstPersonPerspective: Most of the game is presented in a top down view of the room you're in, but when you're in small rooms like the ship, the view is first person.
17	* FeaturelessProtagonist: The player character is never really described in detail.
18	* LastSecondEndingChoice: [[spoiler: You can choose whether to go ahead with the final boss fight, or to just go back to the ship.]]
19	* LovecraftLite: The game has themes of [[spoiler:ancient beings that want to harvest a planet's life to feed themselves, and an experiment gone wrong that wants to devour the universe. You can still shoot them in the face, though.]]
20	* MultipleEndings: Via LastSecondEndingChoice.
21	* NoNameGiven: Everyone refers to you as simply "Dark Scavenger".
22	* PointAndClickGame: How the game is played.
23	* PlanetaryRomance: The game takes place on one planet, and description is given to it's different species and cultures.
24	* StrategyRPG: Mixed with AdventureGame.
25	* TopDownView: How most of the game is presented.
26	* TurnBasedCombat: How fighting works.
