Flashing Dark

w game but didnt manage to finish it because the cave is too dark cant see sh*t. hopefully there's an update

It started well. Buggy, but well. Had the style, had the aesthetics, and who doesn't love the modern trend of lighthouse keepers? I have hardlocked myself twice in the game already, and found ungodly amounts of grammatical mistakes, but nothing a restart and a benefit of a doubt to a non-native speaker couldn't fix. That is until the ending section where it turns into a very clunky shooter which irritated me so much, I dropped the game, and just decided to watch a letsplay instead to see how it ended. And for nothing at all, if I'm being honest. All the build-up leads to absolutely nothing, and just like another island media - Lost - questions are posed, peppered with questions on top, and not a single answer given, or even a hint on one. Such games usually take the hearts of players by good narrative, cool plots and mysterious twists, but, unfortunately, it seems like the writing looked like a list of cool things: a train, a chest, a gun, a naked dude, a mysterious intruder, a suspicious boss, a cave, a dead police squad, a twin sister, a postwoman knowing your name - but whoever wrote it just couldn't have bothered to come up with what it all means or why anything on the list happens or matter. Such a shame, and quite a waste of money. If at least a part of those questions were answered, this would be an easy "recommend", but as such, I feel like I got tricked into going through a teenager's fanfiction who thinks it's deep and mysterious, but in reality just chaotic and senseless.

Started out well but the last quarter was so dark it was nearly impossible to get through and it quickly became pretty painful to finish

Played before other game of these guys "Nevermind This", so was a bit familiar with their work. "Flashing Dark" is a bit other type of horror, but still liked the mechanics and atmosphere developers introduced.

the game is so good, so u dont even want to play it actually just sitting in main menu already an absolute cinema

the videogame ever

Pretty good horror game that reminds me of Firewatch. Graphics is nice as well. Great to play at the evening.

They ran out of budget at the end.
