About

The Dark Gift is a horror game about Christmas and New Year.
Description:
You woke up in the basement of your home and don’t remember anything...
When you go up to the house, you see the Christmas decorations and garlands and remember that it is family holiday time and time to get ready for it, while your wife and son went out to the store to do some shopping...
Suddenly the doorbell sounded. Opening the door, you see that someone left you a gift box...
What's inside this mysterious box?!
What awaits you in the game:
Unusual graphic style in the style of old-school games. (VHS aesthetics).
A dark story that will keep you in suspense until the very end.
The New Year's holiday will turn into a real nightmare for the main character.
Realistic sound design that will give you goosebumps.
The average time to complete the game is 30-40 minutes.
Note:
There is no menu or any settings in the game except for changing the language...
You can exit the game by pressing ALT+F4 or by clicking on the painting in the starting room...

I managed to finish the game in 45 minutes but not before it gave me a massive migraine. I would have liked to have had a way to turn off the film filter and mess with the lighting, or been able to walk faster than a snail to have finished it before the migraine hit me. It's unfortunate because like others, I've played other walking sims from this dev and they always hit the aesthetic dead on. This just wasn't it, without even a main menu or an exit button. It's a no to recommend to others, sadly.
Понравилось в игре - картинка, мыльность фотокамеры прикольная, а вот сюжет как-то подкачал, да и скримеры были не страшные

I was really looking forward to playing this game but I can't even get past the start as I cant move my character I can only look around
Хороший VHS Хоррор, сюжет отличный графика настораживает, атмосфера пугающая. Есть скримеры мне их хватило. Отличная игра
Нельзя брать подарок от него на новый год, а то он заберёт твою семью! это ты увидишь на моем канале! https://rutube.ru/video/de8c222eb724a03cdcddef5c8362f4f5/

치지직에서 공겜방송하는 혜성2025T05 입니다 분위기 자체가 너무 좋았고 스토리는 흔한듯 하지만 나름 매력적이었습니다
Почти вся игра спизжена с новогоднего хоррора от этого же разраба, почти все похоже, в игре все очень медленно, это начинает раздражать, много нелогичных моментов, весь твист понятен еще чуть ли не в начале, но графика и атмосфера прикольная, ну за сотку сойдет, а так переделанная другая игра
Couldn't play the game. Loaded in with no menu, no control options, and a character that couldn't move. Restarting the game did nothing to fix it.
