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.

Es el primer juego survival horror al que juego y logro acabarlo. La historia es increíble. Espero que salga pronto una segunda entrega, el problema es que al ser un juego indie y poco conocido no den los números. Cosas positivas:El argumento es bastante original, con influencias de todos los survivals horror mas relevantes (alone in the dark, resident evil), de estética lovercraftiana, pero manteniendo su esencia original. Los gráficos le dan un toque retro y están superchulos. Los niveles de dificultad están bien dosificados, para gusto del jugador Aspectos a mejorar: Escasa variedad de armas, el sistema de no pausar el juego cuando accedes al inventario; esto puede ser malo porque te complica mucho interaccionar con el escenario, como por ejemplo, cuando quieres abrir puertas usando llaves, pero también le da un toque especial de horror y de tensión que es de agradecer y no se ve en otros survivals horror. Por terminar , mencionaría la escasez de algún punto de guardado, eche en falta uno en las partes finales de la torre de la fe. Por último, los bugs, a veces los enemigos te dan y no te hieren, sobretodo con los bosses finales, que alguna vez se han bloqueado haciendo mas fácil su eliminación.
不错的小游戏,唯一感觉缺点的就是感觉剧情短了点。
Este es un buen juego de terror y de graficos sencillos que merece la pena jugarlo además tiene buena historia, los personajes caen cheveres y la ambientacion pone tenso a cualquiera.
Good use of the engine, the voices made the game 200% better, and Adam is cool he's so into the character, I still didn't finish the game but its so cool and really feels great
i am really enjoying the game. but i have few complaints. first the variety of weapons is very poor you only have like 3 weapons also the enemy behaviour is a little bit boring, and there could be some enemy like mr x or nemessis that would really make this game even better.
Excelente videojuego si lo que buscas es un Resident evil de estilo clásico con gráficos pixel. Muy recomendado, ojalá saquen mas juegos de esta franquicia.
belissimo gioco pixel art vecchio stile. molti cliche ma anche molte sorpres inquietanti. consigliatissimo
nunca jugue a un juego de este tipo siendo tan pesado para mi. el comienzo es: te presento 20 personajes de golpe los cuales 15 de ellos se mueren a minuto 2 como si importaran o tubieran relevancia siendo solo puro relleno para cuando ya estes en el momento de accion del juego los enemigo sean todos los mismos y genericos con una trama generica de este estilo de juegos y con una narativa poco interesante. dar vueltas y vueltas en una MANSION-isla con caminatas exageradas para probar o mirar detras de pixel 1 al 8 de cada lugar o mueble buscando un acertijo o pieza. por el precio no lo vale (me busque un codigo barato. ¿de que me quejo?)
The art isn't very good, the voice actors aren't very good - the game isn't very good. The cistern, the "trapped in your mind" section, the overall plot and writing. Not great.
If you like 16-bit SNES games, and one that makes you feel like you're playing Resident Evil or Silent Hill - this game is for you. I'm only 14 hours in at the time but, the gameplay is fun, the story is amazing, and the fantastic character illustrations mixed with the voice acting really make it come together. I didn't think this game would creep me out that much, but for something 2-D and 16-bit-ish, it made my heart race! I mostly play metroidvanias and this game is SO much fun. Thank's devs!
