About
In 1985 England, private investigator Miles Windham follows a lead on the mysterious death of his daughter that takes him to Velvet Island. But once he arrives on the island, he soon realizes that the residents are behaving strangely. In fact, there is a growing hostility towards the investigator that feels as though it is becoming stronger by the minute. It doesn't take long until the situation escalates and Miles finds himself in a struggle for his own survival.
Dead of Darkness is a survival-horror action-adventure with cosmic horror influences.
Complex, multi-layered narrative. Meet more than 15 characters over the course of the game - each with their own story that revolves around the terrible secrets of Velvet Island.
Challenging survival-horror. Resources are scarce, your inventory is limited, and danger lurks around every corner. Plan your routes carefully if you want to survive.
Intense hallucinations. Each enemy encounter takes a toll on your mental state. The lower your mental state, the stronger the hallucinations you will experience - some will even blur the distinction between reality and fiction.
Relentless enemies. 13 different enemies are hungry for your flesh, and some of them will stalk you relentlessly. Fight them, run from them, or use your wits to outsmart them.
Become a detective. Search your environment, inspect items and read documents in order to unlock clues. Use these clues to reveal hidden troves or unlock secret passageways.

Decent little game!
Started the game, saw first cutscene. Got that video cassette. It doesn't fit anywhere. Nothing is happening. Fun.
I had an issue with the Cistern which lead to an initially negative review, but the dev patched a way to get through it with a bit less friction, I'm very glad they did. This game was full of twists and turns and had just the right amount of creepy atmosphere. It has some rough edges but nothing (at least for me) that will get in your way. Recommended for fans of Resident Evil.
No esperaba que me gustase pero lo ha hecho. Su historia es mas redonda de lo que suele ser habitual en cualquier sucedáneo de Residents o Silents. Sus fases y localizaciones no aburren y le dan un toque mas original que las habituales mansiones y comiserías, y además, incluye un buen número de personajes que permiten estructurar una trama compleja como es esta. Aquí no se resuelve todo con un par de protas y algún personaje comodín con una escena corta, lo que da mas realismo al lore. Un diez.
Excelente juego, totalmente nostálgico y se nota la inspiración de "Resident Evil", disfrute el juego.
