Dead of Darkness

BEN SANA TAKTIM SEN BANA TAKTIN SONRA HEPİMİZE TAKILDI OYUNU NOKTA EXE Oyunsuzluktan kafayı kırdığım şu 2-3 aylık dönemde bana can suyu oldu Dead of Darkness. Nasıl denk geldim, nereden buldum bilmiyorum ama oyunu 1-2 saat oynamamla ekran karşısında F. T. gururlu bakış atarken yakaladım kendimi. İşte dedim budur, süslemeye püslemeye türü değiştiren oyun yaptık demeye gerek yok, oyun dediğin budur abi: "Basit ve net." Oyunun görsellerine, videolarına filan göz gezdirirseniz aşağı yukarı piksel Resident Evil, Alone in the Dark ve Silent Hill sentezi gibi durduğunu fark edeceksiniz. İşin güzel yanı, olay sadece görsel benzerlikte kalmamış; ortamlar, müzikler, hikaye, karakterler, oynanış ve yazım kalitesi de saydığım örneklere yakın seviyede. Çok smooth bir oyun yani, bu denli saracağını tahmin etmemiştim. Puzzlelar, boss savaşları, envanter yönetimi gibi konuların üzerine düşülüp emek harcandığı aşikar. Üstelik (benim gözümde) piksel sanatıyla birleşerek daha da samimiyet ve farklılık katmışlar işin içine. Sanırım bir RPGM oyunu, örnekleri elbette vardır ancak ben bu tarz oyunlarda seslendirmelere pek rastlamadım. Hani karakter konuşur, her harf açılırken "blup blup" böyle sesler çıkar, ona aşinayız ancak her karakter için ayrı ayrı farklı kişilerce seslendirme yapılmasına şaşırdım (seslendirme olan point&click oyunları kastetmiyorum, bazılarında var onların). RPGM oyunlarına aşina arkadaşlar varsa bu konuda bilgi vermezse sevinirim, kimsenin bilirkişiliğini dinleyecek kafada değilim, kafam karıştı sanırım APK'ye basıp çıkcam. Bu arada fark ettiyseniz sürekli devrik cümleler kuruyorum, bu bilinçli de yapılıyor olabilir, doğal yazım da olabilir, bunu bilemem. Ben bilemezsem siz hiç bilemezsiniz. Ben söyledikten sonra da fark ettiyseniz geçmiş olsun, kendinizi algısı açık, zeki olarak tanımlıyorsunuz ancak zaaaaaaaaaankkk: Üzücü haber. Türü seven, piksel sanata ilgi duyan tüm oyuncular bana güvenerek (ben bile kendime güvenmiyorum awk) direkt satın alabilirler. Garantörü benim kardşm (gözlüklü Teknosa çalışanı sakalı nokta jepege). Fiyat konusuna değinmeye bile gerek olduğunu düşünmüyorum. Halihazırda güncel kurdan kabaca hesaplarsak ortalama bir döner parası yapıyor. Buna rağmen, evime internet bağlattım, PC de aldım ama oyunu alacak durumum yok diyen varsa ekleyip benimle iletişime geçerse söz veriyorum şöyle temizinden bir sıkıntı kardeşim ya gifi patlatabilirim. Ayrıca başlık açıklaması soranlar oldu (Yavuz Bingöl Urfa konseri). Bu oyunun hikayesiyle de alakalı olabiliiiiiiiiir, birbirimize takıp durduğumuz bu dönem için de olabiliiiiiiiiiiiir, tamamen kendi kendime laf olsun diye de söylemiş olabilirim, bunu bilemem, inanın emin değilim. En son oyun hikayesiyle alakalı diye hatırlıyorum ama aklımda öyle kalmış. Buraya kadar zahmet edip okuduysanız bari camınızın önüne bi kap su koyun da kuşlar içsin, bir işe yarayın.

A fairly good survival horror I enjoyed though it comes with a fair amount of flaws. The positives are it had a quite engaging story homaging elements of Resident Evil and Evil Within, complete with a solid script and GREAT voice acting (the VA for MC Miles did a terrific job.) The sprite work is also very well done with neat animations for both characters and all their weaponsets (though sadly you only have a knife, pistol and shotgun), and the gameplay most of the time is quite enjoyable with neat puzzles and a solid soundtrack. While I did have a good time most of the time, there are some heavy flaws that I think hold this back from reaching great. Survival horrors of this style need tight design, and while the game does have that for the first act and mansion area it starts to slip over time. There'll be frequent periods you'll be told you're missing an item you don't have and need to backtrack a minute or two. This can become very grating when a lot of mid-game and onward areas are dark and require you to have a lamp in your inventory which takes up a slot. Being submerged in darkness and only being able to see around you is fine as a mechanic, but this should have just been a light that doesn't take inventory and it's annoying being told you don't have an item without forewarning and need to backtrack to get the lamp. Instant death moments need to be rare in survival horrors, either being heavily telegraphed attacks or having forewarning, or at least giving you checkpoints. DoD has a lot of instant-death traps or outright enemies and bosses that instantly kill you on contact. This can be very frustrating as the game doesn't have a checkpoint system and relies on hard saves only (though thankfully saves are infinite). After a while I found myself second guessing and being worried if an enemy or environmental hazard would be instant death. Not worry out of horror, but out of potential annoyance I would die instantly and have to reload three minutes back to a save and backtrack. It doesn't help that it can be difficult to tell what your hitbox is and if where you stand is safe from a trap. The game generally has some mean spirited moments that just felt grating. One type of enemy can instantly kill you on contact damage, and the game will at one point throw this enemy at you after a boss fight. Out of shotgun ammo which is the only thing that can kill it in time before it reaches you? You'll need to backtrack through a sequence of instant-death traps to get around it. This was one of the worst moments, but there's several moments the game will throw a mean trick at you and defy that a survival horror should be tough but fair. Despite my complaints, I still had a good time and enjoyed the story. I'd be hard pressed to recomend it at full price unless you love survival horrors as much as I do,, but I recommend looking at it at 20 or 30% off. The teaser of a sequel hook at the end makes me keen to see what the developer makes next if this game did alright enough in sales. I think there's potential from the developers for a genuine great horror title but there'll need to be better balancing and toning down on being unfair to the point of frustration.

Poor balance, unbelievably cruel enemy placement and bullet-sponge bosses and enemies that completely drain the resources need to progress through critical moments of the game.

This is a great survival horror game that really captures the feel of the classic Resident Evil titles. The atmosphere is one of the game’s strongest points, creating constant tension as you move through its environments. Fans of old-school survival horror will appreciate the pacing, resource management, and sense of discovery. If you enjoyed the earlier Resident Evil games, you’ll feel right at home here. I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a solid and engaging horror experience.

Like. I rarely play games, so this was something new for me. Having completed the game after some time, I still have fond memories. I wouldn't even mind going through it a second time for the achievements, but remembering the level with the labyrinth, I decided not to.

Feels like classic Horror RPG Maker games, only more advanced. I have beaten the game once on hard now and got the desired experience, survival horror. That said I had many healing items and ammo left. You can feel the passion but story was a bit generic and bosses were not that good. Sanity Effects are funny the first time but become stale after that. Game is at its best when you are solving strange puzzles in evil mansions which is most of the time.

Ich fand das Spiel Grandios. Rätsel, Horror, Kämpfe und Story sind sehr gut gelungen und das Ende schreit geradezu nach einer Fortsetzung (Ich hoffe dahingehend ist etwas geplant). Ich kann das Spiel jedem empfehlen der Horror-Games mag die einem im Gedächtnis bleiben. Einziger Kritikpunkt (ist aber meckern auf hohem Niveau) ist die Darstellung der Charaktere im vergleich zu den Facesets. Die Frisuren waren schon interessant XD. Klasse Spiel - 10 von 10 Punkten =))

I want to love this game because the general survival horror flow seems to be there. It has an interesting enough story and the voice acting is solid but it really needs to be updated with some quality of life changes. The game does not pause when looking at the map or inventory screen. It is beyond annoying to get hit by an enemy cause I need to check my map. I have to run into a room that's safe to plan out a route or clear all the enemies in the room. Now the issue with that is even if you clear enemies, for whatever reason, they spawn back eventually. Also, if a door is locked and you have the key for it, the door will not automatically open. You HAVE to open the inventory screen, which again does not cause the game to pause, then select use on the key. I can't tell you how frustrating that is to take damage because I have to open my inventory, select the key and select use. Classic RE games didn't even have this issue so I'm confused why this is an issue in a 2025 game. This game could instantly be so much better with some qol changes. So until that happens I cannot recommend this game.
