About The Dark Book
The Dark Book is an old school action RPG, you won't be the usual champion of justice who wants to save the world from the bad guy, here you'll think about saving your skin, or rather, your bones!
You will play a skeleton that will be brought back to life thanks to the magic of the dark book, you will find yourself in Don Slawen Town, a small stronghold unknown to you, you will only remember your name and should investigate how and why you got a new life.
You will talk with Characteristic NPCs that will make the story deeper and deeper and full of mysteries that will help you in your main mission, find the dark book and who used it to bring everyone back to life and find out why he did it.
The character will favor hand-to-hand combat with melee weapons and you will rarely find magical weapons with which you can inflict more damage on your enemies such as goblins, demons, cyclops and other strange creatures. Don't forget to use some magic to recover health or deal unexpected damage to enemies.
Hit enemies repeatedly and you'll get your adrenaline pumping to unleash a special attack that will deal much more damage than a normal attack.
In the world of Morghoth you will not find human beings, they became extinct a long time ago, but you will find many mysterious areas during your journey, dungeons, caves, crypts and much more, some areas are much darker than others but the further you go the your path, the more you will notice that the world around you is nothing more than the specter of what we know, everything seems abandoned and destroyed, but ancient spells hide the truth.

A pretty bad game in general but a mobile port with microtransaction for a single-player game (lol) (can't turn of music, no remapping controls, no manual saves, bad controls). I'm not going to complain about the graphics because I still like a lot of old games and how they look even to this day, for poor gaymers.18 found this helpful

ive only played for about 45 minutes so far, but this game changed my life in the best way possible, i was walking down the street and found a 20 dollar bill that i spent on gas station prerolls that put me in the hospital for a week1 found this helpful
Very nostalgic for me as i used to play this on my phone when i was younger, also noticed the developer is working on a sequel which i am very excited to see how it turns out!
[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app![/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] "The Dark Book" is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. This is the kind of thing that looks like a real game and could easily fool gamers who don't look any deeper... really, this is a barebones (geddit, because you play a skeleton, that's funny) asset flipped RPG where, you guessed it, you can't progress without buying magical items in the toxic mobile app cash shop. Disgusting. There's only a superficial game here. The game visuals and the game itself are incredibly shallow... think of them as the too-bright, colourful, thin plastic cabinet dress theme on a poker machine at the casino. That's basically what this is. So really, the mobile app "game" is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop. Putting that toxic mobile app monetisation aside.…
fun game!! played 4 hours straight.
