About Eaten by Darkness

✦ AI summary

Blast through hordes of demons and undead in this fast-paced horror FPS set in a cursed 1800s mine, where streamlined mechanics and cinematic immersion let you stay in constant action without stopping to manage inventory or watch cutscenes. Built on Unreal Engine 5's cutting-edge graphics, it strips away tedious survival mechanics to focus purely on the dread and exhilaration of being hunted deeper into darkness.

Fast paced mayhem in a hellish nightmare. Feel the dread of fear lingering nearby and the exhilaration of being chased by demons and undead in this bloody violent horror first person shooter. A detailed Unreal Engine 5 game utilizing advanced Nanite and Niagara graphics.

EXPLOSIVE ACTION


Taking the proven formula of dark first person shooters and utilizing the powerful features available in Unreal Engine 5, including Nanite and Niagara, Eaten by Darkness takes the horror FPS predecessor concepts to a new level of immersion and brutality. Descending deeper into darkness increases the relentlessness of the monstrous horde. Eaten by Darkness takes place in a late 1800s mining operation with a mysterious occult driven agenda buried deep in the mines.

ATMOSPHERIC HORROR


The game is a blend of older style fast paced action based first person shooters and modern horror with a focus on player immersion. Eaten by Darkness is designed as a game that you, the player, feel you are actually experiencing yourself. Eaten by Darkness is a fast paced high tension action shooter throughout which you remain in control of your character at all times; this is not as a movie cut scene passive quick time event handholding game you just watch.

MONSTROUS ENCOUNTERS


The immersion is reflected in an ultra-streamlined user interface and interactive mechanics. Removal of health bars and onscreen survival micromanagement indicators allows you to enjoy the game in cinematic immersion while the intuitive design of the game sound and visuals provides meaningful feedback to you about the existing condition of your character.

ENTER THE DEPTHS


Additional streamlining removes the immersion breaking mechanics often seen in games today that require you to hold the “F” button to open doors; in Eaten by Darkness you just blast through enemies without halting the action. You don’t need to stop to look for ammo, Eaten by Darkness lets you have fun and run around in horror and mayhem without the tedium of searching for a few bullets scattered around, the silliness of health potions popping out of enemies, or the unnatural glowing/floating collectibles that serve no purpose in the core game mechanics. Eaten By Darkness is focused on player fun throughout all its gameplay mechanics.

HELLISH ENVIRONMENTS


Approximate gameplay time of 1 hour to complete the game.

School project level stuff. Pathing is not good, weapons meh. No graphics options, lots of screen tearing. Should put this up for free to get helpful reviews. Keep at it! Good idea to dive into new Unreal stuff

I don't like it, I love it. Its what you expect from an Indie first release, not totally polished but good enough for a couple of hours of undead shooting fun. A little choppy here and there during the mob rushes but still enjoyable overall. Cant wait to see the expansion!

could be a good game but in the 32x9 Vormat everything is too close because no FOV slider and extreme frame drops down to 20 fps with a 4090 when i look back and forth. i'm sorry Black Cardioid Games

In one hour I beat this game. This is a hopeful developer's first bad game I think. Visually it's pretty and I can see that there's potential in future work from this developer. Major Problems: Performance goes to single digit frames on a 3070; No Volume control and noises stack and are super loud Overall bad guns, the accuracy is comical Overall boring game play with infinite enemy spawns. Gives you no chance to poke around, then again there's nothing to discover, just push on. Bosses are just bullet sponges. I look forward to this developers 2nd and 3rd game. I think their potential is high.

Great graphics. Definitely need a beefy PC to get high frame rates. Good immersion. Nice overall for a solo developer.

This game is awful. It takes up a ton of space but there's nothing to it. The visuals are okay-ish but the mechanics and movement and controls are garbage. The gun doesn't shoot straight, the melee sometimes doesn't hit enemies right in front of you, you can easily get stuck on things. Awful. Got this half off and I wouldn't recommend it. I hope the dev keeps working because the concept of this is really cool but the execution is just awful.
