About The Dark Egg Demo

Old tales tell of an island across the Silver Lake... A bustling island, once filled with people and treasures innumerable. Now, the island is dead and empty, and the only tale that anyone still tells is that of the Egg.

It is a dark thing.

A thing that will grant any wish you desire.

And it is a thing... you must get.

In this text adventure RPG, you travel by boat to an old island, intent on finding the Dark Egg. You will meet many strange people, and encounter things that should not exist, yet stare you in the face regardless.

Every choice you make matters and shapes the story. You will solve puzzles, face enemies, and must explore every corner of the island to make it to your Egg.

Of course, not everyone can make it. Perhaps you might find your ending somewhere else, or, like the others, decide your goals have changed along the way.

The Egg will wait. It always has, and always will. You just have to take it.

Frothing at the mouth waiting for any updates on this game. The demo was so so good! I absolutely loved playing it. It was fun, interesting story, fresh new take on the genre. Cannot wait for this!

I have never before been so impressed, so in love and so touched by a game which at first seems so simple. The story, the mystery, the characters all swoop you in one go. Playing this felt like playing a game Toby Fox made and posted under an alias. I am enamoured by it. I know the last update was long time ago, but I beg you, if there is a chance this will be made into a complete game, please do it. I cannot put it into words how rich this game is.

The design, the story, the presentation - love it all. One of the most unique and best indie games out there I would say. Can't wait for the full release! ^^

Trust the reviews! It is truly an amazing game. I didn't think I'll like it because of it's format, but I trusted the reviews and I'm glad I did. I hope that the developer will make a full version of this 'cause I'll gladly pay for it.

I don't know if I already wrote a review for this, but damn me if I didn't. This demo alone is enough to really bring me a horror experience that I had never experienced before. Screw jumpscares, the atmosphere is dark, uncomfortable and down right spine tingling. The psychological horror is fantastic, the fighting system is complex and brutal but in the perfect amounts to bring you a challenge. The graphics are beautiful pixle arts that give you the gloom, but also the beauty. I've recommended this game to plenty of friends who like text adventures. And I'll keep recommending it. This demo gave me a feast and left me craven (pun intended) more. I tip my hat to thee, and I'm hoping for the release of this game, but just like expensive meat, the best way to prepare it is slow cooking <3
