You are forgetting about the creatures the opponent would play.  It's meant to discourage the opponent from playing a creature lest they give up a creature.

I was basically commenting that this:

I don't know about letting the effect stack, it seems unfair to lockdown creature playing indefinitely, it gives you time to get those photons and sparks, which will certainly be switched for something better.

I do like the idea though.

One question, why  ? Doesn't fit in my opinion.

why not light?  what element would fit better, other than entropy cuz everything fits entropy?

Consider the element of Steal.

going for an even exchange, which doesn't seem quite the field of darkness.  i could retheme it as treachery, but that gives darkness full domain over "theft"

It should cost the 12|10 or so. Imagine a deck with 6 of those and a slow UG/poison deck.

It would be better if the effect activates after BOTH players play a creature. Even if I have only sparks, it wouldn't be so exploitable.

yeah that's the intent, though i left it open in creatureless decks as a possible use.  i didn't realize it pretty much completely overshadows the "valid" use.

Is slightly invalid with the current wording.

here is my current thought for the wording:

The next creature you play goes to your opponent's side instead, after that, the next creature they play goes to your side.

So basically, you have to "activate" it by giving up a creature before you can get one.  Curtails the abuse a bit (you can still give up a photon, but thats intended) but removes the minor interactions with flood.

That would make it a bit more clear.
