The art of Unlight is gothic in the style of American comic books, drawn by the illustrator Miya. Unlight was developed by a 5 employee-company at first, and first launched on Yahoo Mobage in 2010. With the release of multiple language versions, its popularity, especially in Taiwan, grew to a point where their servers had to be upgraded every week in September 2011. The popularity of Unlight in Taiwan is attributed to the game's unique setting, good gameplay, female-friendly elements, and a successful promotional campaign targeted at gamers.
