[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app![/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] "The Dark Book" is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. This is the kind of thing that looks like a real game and could easily fool gamers who don't look any deeper... really, this is a barebones (geddit, because you play a skeleton, that's funny) asset flipped RPG where, you guessed it, you can't progress without buying magical items in the toxic mobile app cash shop. Disgusting. There's only a superficial game here. The game visuals and the game itself are incredibly shallow... think of them as the too-bright, colourful, thin plastic cabinet dress theme on a poker machine at the casino. That's basically what this is. So really, the mobile app "game" is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop. Putting that toxic mobile app monetisation aside... this is a mobile app. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could pretend it's an iPhone, and I don't think you did either... this kind of mobile app has no place in your Steam library. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 7 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. I didn't pay money, but I still feel ripped off.

Excelente juego,faltan logros
Nostálgico, joguei a versão de celular bastante quando mais novo. Tenho uma reclamação, os menus não se movem com a roda do mouse, o que seria conveniente.
buon gioco

Видеообзор https://youtu.be/gap4l94vR24 Простенькая РПГ, где мы играем нежитью в поисках книги мертвых так сказать, приятная графика, легкая боевая система, без сильных спецэффектом, много различных уровней, врагов, видов оружия, по мере прокачки можем изучать магию и повышать вручную нужные нам характеристики, уровни небольшие примитивные но достаточно интересные , да эта игра образец того как можно сделать простенькую залипательную игру, здесь не ни чего сильно замудренного, а все просто и понятно, есть сундучки некоторое количество нелинейных поворотов в игре, где можно найти че нить ценное, в общем и целом приятная игра.
The Dark Book ist ein doungeon bassierter rpg ego shooter der viele möglichkeiten mitbringt die sounds allerdings sind sensationelllll !!!!!!!!! was ich damit sagen möchte ist das es als ein kostenloses spiel echt klar geht wenn man auf so spiele von 2005 steht die graphic ist auf 16k ultra HD sodass die kobolde in diesem spiel gerade zu versuchen aus dem bildschirm zu kommen und wollen ihr volluminöses schwert in deinem DARM versenken !!! wer das liest hat es gelesen !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
vielleicht wird ja nochmal dran geschraubt aber macht echt keinen spaß
Игра 'The Dark Book' — это настоящее погружение в атмосферу таинственности и исследования. С первых минут тебя затягивает мрачный, но завораживающий мир, где каждая тень таит в себе загадку, а каждый шепот может быть ключом к разгадке. Механика игры, основанная на поиске улик и решении головоломок, заставляет мозг работать на полную катушку, не давая расслабиться ни на секунду. Особенно впечатляет визуальный стиль: детализированные локации, мрачное освещение и отлично проработанные персонажи создают неповторимое ощущение присутствия. Сюжет держит в напряжении до самого конца, подкидывая неожиданные повороты и заставляя сомневаться в каждом своем предположении. Это не просто игра, а настоящее приключение, которое оставляет после себя долгое и приятное послевкусие. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра, кто ценит глубокую историю и продуманный геймплей.
