The Darkness

Stuff to know about this game

1. Theme connection isn't obvious until the end, so be sure to stick around. It is there, I promise.
2. There are two endings! After getting one, getting the other shouldn't be too hard...
3. Let me know if it's too laggy. I think I cleared it up, but you never know.

This game was way too ambitious. I totally overscoped. Oh well.

I don't think the game compiled properly. The camera stops after a short distance and if I leave the viewing area its unlikely I'll be able to find my way back.

I uploaded the COMPLETE wrong version. I have no idea how that happened and I didn't notice. It's fixed now.

Very nice! Great music, no glitches found, good idea and theme connection. I see how this could have been much bigger. It got easy once I got the poison darts, but that's ok since the game is over then anyway ^^

Very good entry, really impressive mechanics and structure and a nice twist in the tail, the complete package, thank you! -J

Hum, controls and gamer movements are a bit wacky. Unfortunally the framerate drops to an unplayable state after entering the room with the blue guards. Wanted to complete the game, graphics and mood was good.

Congrats. I felt this game was a complete experience. Engaging story. Nice mechanics and appropriate use of them in the puzzles.

I can't believe this hasn't gotten more plays. I really loved the music, and the dialogue was engaging (at times, also quite humorous). Great entry overall!

Good music, controls are fluid and fun. Thought the "reveal" was pretty dumb and the camera felt pretty drunk at times... but all in all I liked the light mechanic and the gameplay quite a bit!

nice light mechanic, effective and fun. pretty good level of challenge, got seen a few times but wasn't frustrating. didn't really understand the ending... wanted to fight all those guards though...

Nice, I liked it. I'm impressed with the music and graphics. I'm glad you appear at the start of the area rather at the beginning when you die too.
