I Can't Escape: Darkness

A dungeon crawler with intense atmosphere in a mysterious ruins. I need to figure out how to beat this someday.

I figured the best start I could get was playing something I'd been meaning to for the past 5 spooky seasons, and delved into this. Given I did not come out until 1996, this was also my first exposure to a classic Dungeon Crawler. [h3][b]Yay:[/b][/h3] + The protagonist had the same reaction to the random eye in the wall that I did “[Oh] hello”. + Living buildings are a concept I enjoy. + Mixing, unlike so many others, was plenty audible at default, without 100 being “too quiet to hear without background apps being too loud.
