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.

If you enjoyed this part, the adventure continues in the sequel, Horror at Innsport. Available now on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.co.karmicshift.horror2a

Ratings and reviews

I really enjoyed the story! I kept expecting a little more horror to happen, like a great beast to attack me! I think the suspense could be added with some timed text! I really enjoyed the world exploration, the using items to interact with the world (like collecting, and combining objects) and using items to passively interact with the environmental conditions (boots!) All together, solid! :)
