Dead of Darkness

Classic survival horror

At firs I wasn't expecting much from the game, but don't let the pixel graphic fools you, it has good horror atmosphere and a nice story to keep you up until you finish the game. all puzzles in the game require common sense to be solved.

Sadly I can't recommend this game. I'm a big fan of the classic survival horror games, but this game regurgitates puzzles too much. I've only played for a bit, and have already encountered the Piano puzzle and the picture frame puzzle from Resident Evil 1. Then annoyingly, this game does not pause when in the inventory, interacting with objects or reading files. The fact you're limited to 8 directions for aiming can mess up your shots as well, which is bad given the copious amounts of enemies and limited ammo. I really wanted to like this game. It opened really strongly with some interesting characters with good voice acting and start of a original story with a detective angle compared to the standard survival horror. But so far that had only meant combining clues with items.

survival horror in pixel art veramente ben fatto!!!

A truly harrowing pixel art horror adventure with a surprising amount of difficulty. Not without its faults (certain instant-death enemies or sections were a bit frustrating), but everything else was so engrossing that it's hard to view the game too negatively for them. I would love to play more games in this setting.

前期总体游戏体验不错，女主下水道结束之后劝退了。存档点和异次元箱距离很远，黑暗环境看不清楚怪，怪物一击必杀，每次复活跑半天，格子又不够用，一次次挂然后来来回回跑那点路，作者这么戏耍玩家是否心理疾病？

This game is AMAZING. It's like a Resident Evil 2 in pixel art. It's not perfect (I hate the lantern with all my heart), but it has a great gameplay, a great story and a satisfying ending. I really hope that the story will continue. Try this out; you will not be disappointed

This game is what the old school gamers are looking for. I really thank you for this amazing piece of work. It's been 4 hours. And I'm really enjoying every second of it. Mansion, musics, sounds, feelings everything is just perfect. This game carries the spirit of classic Resident Evil 1-2-3 with a top down camera angle with pixel graphics. I won't forget this game. Deep thanks for the old but gold feelings of the retro horror classic games.

Great game we got right here. A 2D survival horror mostly on the side of classic RE games but longer, better characters, a more complex story and pretty good VA performances for the most part. Pros: 1) Pretty good sprite art. 2) Great VAs. 3) Good story that made me want more. I wanna play the sequel. 4) Ammo scarsity is a more serious aspect than in the classic RE games, you need to avoid as many enemies as possible, though sometimes you must eliminate some of them (besides bosses). 5) Pretty good length. Some RE fans may argue this game is too long for the genre but I preffer it this way. 6) Pretty good characters. Cons: 1) The knife worns out. Yeah, the worst weapon in the game needs to be repaired. Now, you're able to use it at 0% but its damage decreases drastically. 2) The voices are really loud when compared to everyother sound source. 3) If you use a controller (I used a PS5 one) you must use the left analog stick to move, 'cause the D-Pad is reserved for quick switching of weapons. 4) Most bosses are rather boring, you just run un circles to avoid their attacks, shoot and repeat until they die. 5) Sometimes it could use an indicator on the map about where the main objective is, IIRC RE1 had something simple like that. 6) Sometimes you can get softlocked for some bosses if you don't have enough ammo, and even against certain non-boss enemies 'cause they can murder you before you can even use the knife on them.

Very great game for survival horror fan, specially resident evil fans. the only problem I have is the fact that it doesn't pause when I use my inventory
