March 2025

I think this game is pretty nice, but overall very short, and I think it becomes less creepy the more you play it. I was definitely pretty freaked out at the beginning, I think it did a really good job of establishing a scary atmosphere. But, the farther I went, the less scared I felt, but overall it was a pretty nice time, I think. Though, I will also say, I recommend getting the game on sale, because its full price kind of feels like a lot to ask for what you get. The dragons in this game get a rating of 0/10, because there are no dragons.

Very unique, didn't rely on jumpscares and cheesy typical moments like vastly seen in movies and other games. Really great design in the entire environment and characters. Not a long game, but not short by any means and really every moment leaves you uneasy and looking forward to, and dreading, the next bit. This was recommended by many and I fully agree this is a worthwhile game to play.

July 2024

Well this was intense. From the Darkness is a short horror game (took me an hour) that takes place (mostly) inside an apartment. The apartment is cramped and it's not that big, so you can imagine that a lot of things are going to happen. There's a constant tension from the moment you start going through the objects in the house and start noticing weird stuff. When the lights start to fail... dude. Got me a few times, genuine scares. The final part of the game was the weakest for me. Without spoiling, there's a part where you have to go through a certain path while following a correct combination, which felt a bit random until I understood how to recognize the path. And the ending was a bit predictable, but I liked it. This is what a short game should be: not an asset flip, not a cash grab, but a well made compact and intense experience.

DUde.... this game was so scary. I like had so much anxiety playing this game. :( It reminded me of how scary games could get. I legit was craving smth this scary for ao long cuz horror games have just not been scary lately. >.< Very happy with my purchase. <3

May 2024

This is more of a sideways thumb because the game is decently spoopy(I jumped a few times) with some excellent visuals, but impossible for me to complete. Like one of the other reviewers, once I got to about 3/4 of the way through I kinda just wanted it to be over because the lighting was frustrating and tasks became a little tedious. As with most indie walking sim horror games, I am accustomed to having to backtrack a lot to trigger the next event or progress the story. 100% a-ok- no problems there because I like walking sims. This one was tough because there wasn't a brightness slider to adjust and I ended up having to quit near the end of the game because I got stuck in the dark somehow with no clear way out or forward. RIP. My personal struggles with the experience aside, it looks like others were able to complete and find enjoyment here so I can't truthfully say that it is a bad game. It just wasn't for me. <3 I'd say buy this on sale. For science. :P
