About The Black Within
The Black Within is a single-player first-person psychological horror. When selling her soul for fame and fortune, Laila Rose faces the consequences of her actions. A tale of Greed, fear, and change.
The year is 2007, you play as Laila Rose, a failed musician who decided to sell her soul to the devil for fame and wealth. Laila, 38 years old, has tried to make it in the music industry, but a lack of talent and patience led Laila to take matters into her own hands and contact a well-known record label manager called Arne Cheyenne.
with the instruction of her new boss, Arne. Laila goes into the abyss and starts her journey, searching for fame and glory. But like the old saying goes, every action has an equal and opposite reaction. What Laila fails to realize is that her battle is bigger than signing a piece of paper; it's fear vs change and pain vs hope.
Average time to complete the game: 70 minutes

Thought this was a little annoying to play tbh, and the writing at the end is silly. But I can see some potential from an indie dev, with some surprising attempts at production value.1 found this helpful
I really wanted to like this game. It looked good at least. I streamed it and it took a bit over 2 hours to complete when i saw videos on YT of full walkthroughs from 21-50 minutes so I guess I just wasn't able to figure out what to do next most the time. Visually the game looked good. The audio had some issues. The dialogue and main game sounds where really quiet while the jump scares and cut scenes seemed to be on a volume 500% louder then the rest of the games sounds. That made it where I had to keep the in games slider on 2% to avoid blowing our ears out when it would get loud fast. I missed a lot of the storyline due to that so I found it very hard to follow along or get into what was going on the entire game. There where some other issues as well. Overall my chat thought the game was a 2-2.5/5 star game. I would say I felt it was a 2.5/star game due to a few major issues.1 found this helpful
I Enjoyed The Game! The Game Is A Bit Rough Around The Edges Though. I Can See Someone Glitching The Game, Or Encountering Game-Breaking Bugs. However, I Managed To Beat The Entire Game Without Much Problems. My Gameplay: https://youtu.be/SndLs4HYNWg
I finally gave up and just watched a youtuber complete the game. I've had issues with other games, but this was so buggy for me I wasn't able to complete it.
It's on sale right now for $1.99. I'd say it's probably worth about 10% of that price. The voice acting is probably the best part of the game. The jump scares, I will admit, got me a couple of times. That's about all the good I have to say about this game. It's VERY short, there are minimal clear directions as to what you're actually supposed to be doing or looking for, the graphics are not great, you don't feel any kind of accomplishment after finishing the game (it feels more like just a first chapter)... I don't know what else to say about it, really. Kind of a waste of time. If you're in to this particular kind of game - MAYBE, check it out... But, you'll probably be disappointed.
Good short horror! Very enjoyable, definitely recommend. My gameplay here: https://youtu.be/h3zzvDNo_HI
