A new Roblox horror survival game has entered the scene, and many players are already calling it the true rival to Dandy’s World. The game is called Twilight’s Zone, and it mixes creepy exploration with spirit-chasing, relic upgrades, and a unique atmosphere that feels both familiar and fresh.
If you’re curious about what makes Twilight’s Zone stand out and how its systems compare to Dandy’s World, this guide will walk you through its key features, gameplay, and what to expect when you step inside.
A Darker Setting with Creepy Details
The first thing you’ll notice when entering Twilight’s Zone is the unsettling environment. The game has chandeliers swinging from the ceiling, a fire pit, eerie posters, and even weather effects like rain that add to the tension. There’s also a shopkeeper named Twilight, who serves as a central figure in the game.
The atmosphere feels inspired by shows like The Twilight Zone, with ominous hallways, mysterious elevators, and unexpected jump-scares. Every corner seems designed to keep players on edge.
Spirits Instead of Twisted
Unlike Dandy’s World, where players encounter twisted creatures, Twilight’s Zone introduces Spirits. Currently, there are nine different spirits in the game. The challenge comes not only from surviving encounters with them but also from learning how to trap them. To trap a spirit, you’ll need to:
- Find and activate spirit traps.
- Lure the spirit into the open trap.
- Complete all remaining traps to secure them.
This mechanic adds a new layer of strategy, as it’s not just about avoiding enemies but also actively hunting them down.
Relics and Gameplay Mechanics
Twilight’s Zone includes items known as Relics, which work similarly to trinkets in Dandy’s World. Each relic provides different effects that change how you play.
For example:
- Skill Check Relic – Doubles the size of skill checks while repairing capacitor machines.
- Bubble Gum – Grants temporary boosts in encounters.
Players can collect volts (the in-game currency) by repairing machines, clearing floors, and finding items like research books. These Volts are then used to unlock new relics and expand your build.
Machines, Floors, and Volts
Just like in other survival-extraction Roblox games, machines play a big role in Twilight’s Zone. You’ll need to repair Capacitor Machines across multiple floors. Each machine repaired gives you Volts, while completing an entire floor rewards you with an even larger payout.
The process is skill-based, requiring timed inputs during repairs, similar to rhythm-style gameplay. This makes teamwork and focus essential if you want to progress deeper without being overwhelmed by spirits.
What Makes Twilight’s Zone Different?
While some may call it a “Dandy’s World clone,” Twilight’s Zone clearly has its own identity. The spirit-trapping mechanic, atmospheric details, and relic system give it a unique twist. Even the audio design, including sound effects inspired by The Twilight Zone, sets it apart.
The game is still new, so many players are discovering hidden mechanics, secret encounters, and special runs like the rumored Twilight Run, where players face Twilight directly.
Twilight’s Zone may share some similarities with Dandy’s World, but it’s already carving out a reputation as its own horror survival experience. With its creepy design, spirit system, and relic-based progression, the game offers plenty of replay value for Roblox fans who enjoy challenging cooperative gameplay.
If you’re looking for a new survival horror Roblox title to dive into, Twilight’s Zone is worth your time. And with more updates likely on the way, this could be the start of a serious rival to Dandy’s World.
