About Escape from Darkness

Escape from Darkness is a single player, first person survival horror game. After waking up alone in a strange, eerie place. You must plunge into the oppressive darkness ignorant of what awaits. Use stealth to avoid danger, but don't play it too safe. You will also need to investigate your surroundings and find resources to fight the horrors that lurk in the gloom around you. Persevere, and make your way out alive in this horrifying experience. Are you brave enough to Escape from the Darkness?

Oppressive

Awaken to a world shrouded in shadow, your memory a blank slate. With every heartbeat, navigate the sinister confines of a cultist farm, a place where danger lurks and the next victim could be you. Your only hope is to outwit the pervasive darkness that seeks to consume you. Stealth is your ally; resources are scarce and fraught with peril.

Eldritch abominations are an ever-present threat and will stop at nothing until you join their family. Quick wits, methodical gameplay, and a little bit of luck are your weapons against the darkness. Do not fail.

Escape from Darkness

Navigate the treacherous pathways of a cultist stronghold, where every decision could mean freedom or demise. Confront the questions that haunt your every step: How did you arrive in this place of despair? What sinister motives drive the cultists’ actions? And what are the mysterious dark forces that permeate your surroundings? Your survival hinges on your ability to probe, deduce, and outsmart the lurking dangers. Forge your path to liberation or die trying.

Interesting game but it has (currently at time of this review) some major flaws that cause it to be a bit difficult to play. It has a memory leak in the game which causes it to slowly degrade in performance over time, severely impairing even the best PC set ups. Also once you get into the farm house, the "puzzles" don't make any sense and personally I wasn't able to get anywhere (Oh God goo and Golden Chicken Nugget obtained but couldn't reach the basement). I think this game has potential, but it needs some work before it becomes fully playable. PROS: * Interesting environments * Great sound design * Creepy monsters CONS: * Memory leak causing PC issues * No enough ammo * Game is WAY TOO DARK (even with flashlight) with no gamma correction available * Not enough save points (one in a barn which goes away after you get the farmhouse key, one inside the farmhouse that randomly disappears?) * Enemies can outrun you making it impossible to run away if you're out of ammo * Puzzles are convoluted * Map randomly disappears if you die and reload (even if you've already gotten it) https://www.seravium.com https://www.twitch.tv/seravium

I really liked the environment and the setting of the game. Some areas actually sent shivers down my spine so well done for that. The gun play was good, wasn't amazing but did the job. I like what the idea that he was going for but does need a little more refinement. Some of the cons however is the performance, some of the best areas just ran terribly for me and dropped me down to what felt like 30 fps. overall that is my only actual con that could cause the game some issues. I would would still highly recommend playing the game, it's nice and short and scratched the spot for me. I look forward to seeing what else the developer comes up with.

Very spooky/suspenseful! Resources collection (ammo) is infrequent enough to make it challenging but not so much as to be frustrating. Level design adds well to the atmosphere, large rural setting in the dark makes for lots of scary. Interesting to explore and try and figure out what is going on.

A fun and spoopy game! I like that there is enough combat to keep things interesting/challenging and so it doesn't just feel like a walking simulator. Like many indie titles, there are some bits that are rough around the edges but for me it adds to the charm, especially knowing it was primarily developed by only one person!
