Darkness Within 1: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder

It's old and dated but it's cool. I would suggest using a guide as a lot of the hints that you're supposed to find don't really work correctly and like half the stuff that I saw and thought "that seems pretty important" the game outright tells me it's not when I try to underline it. Also the story doesn't make a whole lot of sense. The ending really explains basically nothing about what's going on, and you can piece it together yourself mostly from the stuff you find through the game but there's no actual conclusion to what you found. Game is also only $8 though so I'd still say worth the money. 7/10

This is a pretty old point and click. Nostalgic, but the controls are dated.

Attention: Parts of the story are hidden behind difficulty level 3. There are countless text documents in the game to read, most of which are interesting. On Level 1, when you click the magnifying glass, all the words necessary to advance the story—which serve as clues—are automatically highlighted on that page of the document. On Level 2 (which I’m playing), you have to highlight the words yourself, and if you want, there’s a counter showing how many clues are left in that document. To unlock all story elements (and achievements), you have to select Level 3. At this level, there’s no counter showing how many clues are left in the documents, and you can also highlight words in the countless documents that explain or embellish the story but are irrelevant to progressing—though these don’t provide any clues, with a few exceptions that lead to further insights. Although you can change the difficulty setting at any time while playing, I really don’t think the developers handled this very well. Otherwise, I think the game is pretty good! The atmosphere is great. What I find annoying is that, because of the atmosphere, it’s sometimes kept too dark, and you often have to go pixel hun…

Great game and IMO a good take on Lovecraft!
