Darkness Within is the most tasteful Lovecraftian-horror game I have ever played. There is no tacked-on 'insanity' mechanic. There are no jump scares. There are no guns. But most importantly, there are no references to Lovecraft's work in poor taste. The only direct references to him are in quotes on loading screens, and a single easter egg. His influence otherwise is purely sentimental, yet quite palpable in the atmosphere of the game's various domestic, occult, and dreamlike environments. The developers at Zoetrope Interactive did not shoehorn Lovecraft's most popular motifs into their game, although it could be argued that the general formula of the narrative is quite Lovecraftian, and the exposition definitely is, but I believe it comes into its own. Anyway, Zoetrope has created a narrative with less-direct horror than any 'survival horror' game. This was executed through their imp
“The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” ― H.P. Lovecraft, Supernatural Horror in Literature Here I was, a bit bored and a bit biased about the marriage of a point & click adventure with the theme of horror, but Darkness Within 1: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder was a spectacular experience! I've spared 14 hours or so, discovered every achievement, read and re-read every single document, practically poked my nose in every single pixel in the game; but I am still paranoid about missing a piece of the great picture, as any Lovecraftian theme should make you so... In this gem of a Lovecraftian setting, you play as Howard E. Loreid; a detective that investigates the strange murder of Clark Field, a wealthy man involved in the dark art of occult. The prime suspect of the crime is a man named Loath Nolder, a famous pri
This game does more service to this particular style of horror in FIVE MINUTES than most games with much larger budgets and more intense system requirements do THE ENTIRE GAME. You will do a lot of reading and that reading will lead you to unsettling implications that leave you with a subtle, creeping dread that never really goes away. The environments themselves blend with the musical score and come off as unsettling and believable, with a stark contrast between the falsely domestic and the absolutely bizzare. The game really, really captures the essence of what writers like Lovecraft, Blackwood and Machen crafted and plays like you'd expect one of those stories to read. 10/10
This game is, taken as a whole, fantastic. One of the best adventure games available. However, this point may not be obvious on the first playthrough. It's actually fairly difficult, which may drive some players to a walkthrough. That's unfortunate, because playing this game with a walkthrough is a terrible idea. The game's two strongest points are the story and the atmosphere. Both are fantastic, but excessive walkthrough use can ruin your understanding of the story. The game should be played with a mindset of truly trying to understand and solve the mystery. That will require reading and rereading the documents you find several times. But doing so is extremely enjoyable once you finally begin to grasp what's happening. If you get towards the end and feel that you have no idea who any of these people are or what's happening, you've missed a LOT. But putting the effort into exploring and
Ugh. I'm actually glad that I finally finished this game. My short review Don't do this to you unless you have masochistic tendencies. I'm playing adventure games for almost 30 years now and I've dealt with my share of clunky UI, pixel hunting and unintuitive game mechanics while still enjoying the game but this one - just no. The idea behind it is good I actually liked the idea behind the main mechanic in this game. Rather than just looking for physical items that you can use on objects in the world, here you are also looking for clues for a kind of "brain inventory". You mainly find clues by reading documents, letters and books and underlining interesting stuff in them. You then figure things out by combining clues in your brain inventory. Now let me tell you the ways this sucks in practice First of all, the inventory system itself. It is much too convoluted and unintuitive. Yo
Wow! This was one of my favorite point & click Adventure / Horror games years ago! This is a point & click game that offers a 360* view in a very detailed and creepy atmosphere and the eerie sounds always make you feel unsettled. The experience makes you feel as if something is always wrong and full of dread. The story leaves you as a detective thrown into a twisted and demented world of insanity trying to track down Loath Nolder, a private investigater gone mad and also a murder suspect. But as you begin to track his whereabouts, you start to wonder what is real and what is not, halucinating, seeing and hearing things as you travel through locations finding and picking up clues and solving puzzles. If you like point & click games and you like mystery and horror, you will find a good combination here. It's a good game.
