About this game

Horror in the Darkness is a short exploration and puzzle solving adventure game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, where players explore and investigate, putting together clues and solve puzzles to uncover the secrets of Wentsire Manor. It is a mobile phone adaption of the classic text-based adventure genre, similar to the point-and-click classics. The game combines a bleak environment and an sense of underlying dread with moments of comedy to keep you entertained.

Fresh back from the horrors of World War 2, our protagonist was working as a private investigator. Not hugely successful, but it paid the bills. Mostly. But when the widow of his old friend needed his help nothing could have prepared him for the bizarre and uncanny events that were about to unfold.

Horror in the Darkness Redux is an extended and remastered version of the critically acclaimed original game. Original content has been adapted to use the latest features of the Horror series, such as manual save and an easily accessible map button. Expanded content improves the main plot arc and makes for a more fulfilling experience.

Love playing text advs. This one's a real blast from the past, takes me back to the day's playing a game with book,pencil,paper the story is very good and the map is brilliant will be getting the other three books in the series. The use of the objects is not hard to work out . Really is in the style of Lovecraft dark and foreboding. Keep them coming please.

I played this game for the first time 2 years back and today I purchased the upgraded version, best decision ever. It was the same plot and same story, but it changed up the puzzles a bit and made the game harder to beat which was just what I needed. These games will always be some of my favourites. They'll never get old. Thank you for such amazing games!!!

A fantastic text-based puzzle game, and an even better start to an incredible series. This game is challenging and requires a strength in connecting dots in places overlooked. Horror in the Darkness is an adventure worth following, and if you get the chance, I highly recommend spending the quick dollar on the premium version for the extra content.
