About
Step into Dark Pals’ abandoned children’s mental health facility. Once bright, cheerful, and welcoming, it now stands warped by time, neglect, and forgotten memories. Armed with your Ink Blaster, you’ll explore unsettling spaces, solve environmental and logic-based puzzles, and evade the facility’s disturbing mascots.
But the more you explore, the clearer it becomes: this place knows you.
Do you remember?
The facility is home to a cast of colourful yet horrifying mascots, each hiding a darker purpose. From Chompy Chasey, a dog with a comically large head and deadly teeth, to other forgotten figures, such as Binky Drinky, lurking in the shadows of these forgotten halls.
Progression isn’t just about escaping, it’s about perception. Using your toy paint gun, you’ll be solving puzzles that play with your expectations and sense of reality. Rooms may change their layout, you may have to put your morals and sense of self-preservation aside, and you need to keep your wits about you if you want to survive.
What begins as a cheerful lobby slowly reveals something far more sinister. Catchy, irritating tunes echo through empty halls. Bright colours mask unsettling truths. Every puzzle and encounter draws you closer to the truth about who you really are, and why this place still haunts you.

Okay abgesehen von dem Bruder der sich selbst wie eine Weißworscht auszuzelt... WAS IST MIT DEM HUND PASSIERT??? ICH MUSS WISSEN WIE ES WEITERGEHT?! Besser als Poppy Playtime btw. LG

this is a fun short horror game. I found it after playing all of the poppy playtime games. I recommend and I cant wait for the 2nd floor to release!
что ж за него это где-то час это самая игра наркоманский который играл свою жизни но мне понравился) Конечно она очень короткие я конечно такие проекты практически не играю но очень редко тут в принципе говорит то нечем Наверное вы уже смотри разные даже блогеров такие же вдохновения как Похоже мне припомню Фредди из пицца такая же анимация и другие разные проекты игры атмосферка сочная Конечно я расстроился что собачку Мне его жалко хоть хотел съесть Но жалко Давайте поставим лайк что Собачка жалко больше всего что мы любим их) жду следующей эпизод будущее
I like this game, even if the mascot horror genre is a bit downhill. Overall 8.5/10. Can't wait for a sequel.
Absolutely love this. Was everything I want in a mascot horror and more. I’m so excited to see what happens in future floors I am still singing about an Omelette Man 😂 The characters are extremely unique and I love how different it is to other Mascot horrors 10/10 from me 🥰😍😍
honestly its so weird but in a positive way, its very fun though, ill say that :). I literally have [spoiler] "Hey It's Me, It's Omeletteman" [/spoiler] stuck in my head 24/7, LOL
Für mich ist Dark Pals ein Spiel das man nicht so schnell vergisst. Ich habe es wirklich geliebt, vor allem wegen der Story und der Grafik, die fast wie aus einem kleinen gruseligen Kinderbuch wirkt. Man merkt einfach, wie viel Liebe zum Detail drinsteckt! Dieses Spiel hat mich sehr überrascht! Die Musik passt super zur Stimmung und macht alles nur noch intensiver. Freue mich definitiv auf einen neuen Teil. 10/10 Vielleicht kein typisches Horrorspiel, aber genau das macht es irgendwie aus. Bitte weiter so!
