In The Dark
In The Dark
By Baconation
In The Dark is an atmospheric puzzle game where light has become the enemy.
Numerous research projects with you as the subject have lead to bodily mutations. Any source of light now has the potential to not only drain your energy, but burn you alive. Finally released from your "research" you find that the place they have kept you is in pieces.
Find your way out of the facility and hopefully a cure will be waiting for you...

This was fun, my palms are sweaty and my heart is racing. At first the dark parts were a little too dark for me so I adjusted my monitor. I wouldn't mind if the player had a little flashlight which illuminated the path as you turn. Maybe with limited battery. Got to level 5 so far. The atmosphere is there and the game play is smooth.
Thanks for the description. I'm glad you were able to immerse yourself.
I did add a slight glow to the player so you can see in the dark. It's rather dim since I didn't want it to overpower the scene. In the future I might consider other methods that allow you to see better in the dark.
Hello! I can't seem to finish level 18, as I'm not sure how I'm supposed to get through the corridor when there are no shadow spots throughout it and the barrier doesn't last long at all.
Thanks for your review, I appreciate it!
Could you give me a bit of information about the glitch you are talking about? I am not aware of any issue with computers in any of the levels.
I'll look into it. Thanks for letting me know!
