About Blinding Dark
We always dreamed to play more games like Clive Barker’s: Undying, but the horror genre had a sudden change in direction which moved away from these niche games. As soon as Amnesia franchise started to pick up we saw an opportunity for a new mix. The general conception is that as soon as you have weapons to fight with, the horror part of the game fades away. We believe this is incorrect and Blinding Dark is our attempt to prove otherwise. Scarce ammunition, powerful enemies and limited options to recover health, creates a lot of tension and fear of death. Pair this up with the fact that there is a serious repercussion when dying and you have the danger / tension element back in the game.
You wake up in an entrance hall of, what seems to be, a mansion. You can't remember who you are and how you got there.
Step by step you adventure into the dark to discover your past and unfold your future. Collect ancient relics and discover what is their unique ability. Take your time and
analyze the surroundings. Throwing yourself head on will often prove to be a deadly mistake.

This is an old action/puzzle FPS with an arcane/magic/haunted house theme. Run around a mansion, collecting upgrades and weapons and blasting enemies... if the controls work. The game is very buggy, the controls don't work properly a lot of the time. There's little in the way of modern support, and no support for UHD, so the game falls below minimum acceptable standards for PC.1 found this helpful
Hard to list all of what this game got wrong but man was it bad. Horror elements are pretty much nonexistent. You rely on mana to do pretty much everything in this game and you lose some of your max mana every time you die. It is entirely possible for you to lose enough mana that you cannot progress the story due to lack of mana and at the time I played through it there was no fix. The game seems to want to be a shooter to an extent but your gun has very limited bullets. You get one later that uses mana but it only works against a singular enemy type to be prepared to use the axe they give you for the vast majority of your fights. Gonna leave it at that and seriously recommend people give this game a pass as it just feels like a subpar barely finished game that would be better off as a free download.1 found this helpful
Some interesting atmosphere with poor quality of life to the point of feeling borderline broken. If the torch worked normally, there were reasonable checkpoints (or saves) and softlocks on respawn were fixed then maybe it would be worth checking out for the curiosity. In the current state it's hard to recommend.
Played the game a few years ago, still remember the experience.
Terrible its like a game from the Playstation 1 era it doesnt tell you where to go or what to do and there is no save, I dont recommend this game and as for the cost of the game about £8.00 its certainly not worth that.
