Recommended

By The Horror Network June 20, 2017

“A hidden, retro-styled gem filled with subtle moments of dread & suspense. It's akin to opening up an old, yellowed book & breathing deep the musty odor of decrepit pages, long since forgotten.”

About This Game

*** WARNING: This game contains loud noises and frightening scenes which some players may find disturbing! ***

DESCRIPTION

You wake up in pitch blackness. You have no idea who you are, where you are or how you got here - it's up to you to figure it out!

For horror game fans seeking out that ultimate fix, 'Dark Fear' delivers an immersive, frightening experience wrapped in a cinematic soundtrack and a dark, twisted storyline written by an ex-film industry professional. The game can only described as blend between RPG and adventure with a 2D graphical style similar to the classic PC games from the 1980s (think Myst meets Kings Quest). Its simplistic approach allows even the most casual gamers to gently unfold and enjoy its many complex layers of game mechanics.

Explore a diverse landscape filled with forests, mountains, lakes and deserts. Make allies in the local village, upgrade your weapon and armor, go hunting/fishing and fight your way to the truth by slaying your foes, solving puzzles and helping people with their problems.
