Some puzzles are difficult though, so be prepared for that.[/i] [hr][/hr] [h1]In-Depth Review[/h1] [h3]Visuals[/h3] You only have a limited view due to the nature of your light source. Everything looks dark and the subtle sound in the background does a good job to increase the overall atmosphere in the game. The rooms are made simple, but distinct enough to give you clues as to where you are located in case you need to walk in the dark. My praise goes to the jumpscare - they are well executed to surpr…

I remember telling myself playing the demo, which mysteriously emerged out of the darkness- wow it's just like [i]Silent Hill 2![/i] And it just stuck with me, how SH2's mark continues to present itself in differing styles, which I last saw in [url=https://steamcommunity.com/id/DeadeGuard98/recommended/736570/] The Crooked Man[/url]. It also gathered influences from another source, [url= https://steamcommunity.com/id/DeadeGuard98/recommended/391720/] Layers of Fear[/url] with regards to the husband-wife chemistry. It's all swell but wouldn't it be another rehash of its spiritual predecessor or would DFM find new ways to rekindle things~ [h1]"The Spark and The Tension..."[/h1] https://youtu.be/Z3t3jOBkNFs [u]The Gist:[/u] I got a letter...

I have never feel so scared playing a retro-graphic game. I was expecting a fast game stream at first but me being scared to progress sometimes and having hard time with some of the puzzles (I really couldn't solve it without getting help and advice from my viewers, but I have to say most of the puzzles were rather creative and I truly appreciate that), it took me a few nights to complete up this game. The beast monster is so scary btw, the music scores were amazing. Apparently there's 4 endings and the best ending are really crazy hard to achieve, from what I remember you have to [spoiler] finish the game without dying and smoking (saving) and you needed all the wedding memorial items too [/spoiler] Good luck playing this game guys!

Dying Flame is a top-down horror walking simulator with strong exploration and puzzle-solving elements. Inspired by Japanese games like Ib, Mad Father, and The Witch’s House, Dying Flame was created with RPG Maker MV by RoundTable Games Studio, a five-person team based in Malaysia. Their goal is to make games that tell compelling stories, and their flagship game carries that torch with aplomb. GRAPHICS 8/10 Ever-present darkness conceals detailed pixel graphics. Pixel graphics have a wide range of shading and realism, but Dying Flame sits comfortably on the upper end of that spectrum. Moving around a black screen with only a lighter to guide you doesn’t afford many opportunities to show off the developers’ artwork, but it does evoke a powerful sense of vulnerability as you traverse the largely unseen expanse of the mansion. Intermittent flashes of lightning provide the only fully-lit glimpses of your otherwise pitch-black surroundings. When you encounter the mansion’s light-sensitive occupant, your game becomes something akin to a text adventure as you are forced to douse your light and feel your way through complete darkness. SOUND QUALITY 8.5/10 Listen closely—it could mean …

great game if you like JRPG-esques games like Sweet home. Watch out for holes along the way
