After a year of development, the story was written, 25 levels built with Unreal Engine were completed, and design specifications for all 40 levels were ready. The first working on the game was started in 2011 by the members of Frogwares studio.
The third setting of the game doesn't add any new mechanics it rather combines existing mechanics, with 3-8 gameplay elements on each level.
Levels reach their maximum difficulty in the second setting. As worlds of man and the mythos move closer in the second setting of the game, the player confronts bots and other monsters. In the first setting the player is introduced to the Cube, Platform and Transformer gameplay elements. However when the new gameplay element is introduced the difficulty of a certain level drops to make sure the player learns new mechanics and solves the puzzle at the same time. Difficulty of puzzles in the game grows slowly during all 40 levels. The new elements continue appearing in later levels after the tutorials (with decreased levels of difficulty) introducing the specific mechanics. Each gameplay element is introduced through 1-2 easy levels. The settings slowly change as the game progresses, integrating new elements into the story and gameplay. Magrunner: Dark Pulse is based on 8 main gameplay elements. If powered with one of the color charges, it will influence the other charged objects. Eventually, the protagonist is joined by a robotic dog, Newton, to be used when the player needs a movable, chargeable object. As the game progresses, its mechanics evolve in different directions, allowing for varied gameplay as puzzles become more and more complex and elaborate. The player navigates through training modules, solving dynamic puzzles, interacting with platforms, cubes, catapults, cube transformers, and other elements. Interacting with three or more objects simultaneously proves the necessity of this change. The developer has intentionally changed the real physics approach of conventional bipolarity of Magnets when the similar colors repel each other to expand game mechanics. Objects charged with the same color will attract each other, while objects charged with different colors will repel each other. Using Magtech glove, the player can power any other Magtech objects with different, colored charges: either green/blue or red. Magrunner: Dark Pulse is a first-person action puzzle game. Players use the Magtech glove to solve puzzles. The eventual change from a clean, high-tech environment to a dirty, old-looking technology system, and later into interplanetary regions, is similar to the change from high-tech, "sterile" testing rooms into the "internal" systems and equipment in the game Portal. When Dax confronts Xander, he faces a greater threat - one of the Spawn of Cthulhu emerging through The Gate to herald the arrival of the Great Old One.

Dax discovers the Soul Pillars feeding its power to the ritual gate that Xander has devised to free his master, Cthulhu. Gamaji reveals Xander's insane past to Dax as Kram goes mad with his exposure to the eldritch environment.
Dax is the only player without a corporate sponsor, and whose only assistance comes from Gamaji, a six-armed mutant who can communicate in 3D holography through a clandestine channel Gruckezber Corporation does not know about which can be activated when Dax is between puzzle rooms.ĭax faces the first of the nightmarish monstrosities of the mythos that now infest the realm. Dax has to perform various puzzles in several large rooms, using the magnetic attraction and repulsion properties of some of the objects and equipment to be able to exit each room and go on to the next one. The player takes on the role of Dax, one of seven "magrunners" competing for the prize of being selected for a trip to outer space. The story begins as Xander, the CEO of Gruckezber Corporation, who is interviewed on 3D television as he announces the start of the contest using the corporation's magnetic technology, and that several contestants, known as "magrunners" will compete for the prize. It then enters the realm of the Cthulhu Mythos - the inhuman and alien.

When a major malfunction takes the facility offline and locks it down, the appearance of the challenge facility changes, becoming decrepit and eerie. The initial levels display the sleek, clean high-tech nature of the Magtech facility. The game starts at the Gruckezber Corporation training facility built for deep space exploration.
