Dark Machine is a Japanese mixed-media project produced by Project Carbuncle. It includes a video game that uses blockchain and Web3 elements. An anime television series titled Dark Machine: The Animation and produced by Production +h. is set to premiere in 2026.
Dark Machine takes place in a futuristic world where the world is at conflict over energy resources. This follows the discovery of Palmer crystals, which provide a high amount of energy to power the world, but has also gained the attention of competing factions. As part of this conflict, factions have developed highly advanced mechs, initially for harvesting Palmer crystals, but have since been modified for use in underground battles.
Dark Machine: The Animation is set in Golden Valley, a special economic zone in Japan that uses the popular esports game Dark Machine to boost the local economy. A young man named Kairi arrives in Golden Valley following the death of his grandfather. Following an encounter with a young girl named Rudora, and getting involved with a conflict with Ajima, who is a powerful Dark Machine player, Kairi finds himself thrust into the world of Dark Machine.
