About The Dark Method

There are two options offered with different experiences to gamers. Either choose "The Dark Files" option for the randomly generated mansion to exorcise the hauntings or choose "New Game" to jump into a long, story driven, campaign where you get to explore scary environments, solve classic adventure game style puzzles and battle monsters along the way.
Story
The story is focused on shooting monsters, solving puzzles, and exploring varied environments while following a story. This is the option for people who prefer an adventure rather than a jump-scare experience.
Demonic possessions? Haunted dolls? They’re real. And the only way to fully exorcise this evil is by entering into the 11th dimension.
You play as Dr. Dark, who discovered this secret from a demon by successfully performing an exorcism on himself. Now named after Dr. Dark, “The Dark Method”, is the only known way to fully exorcise evil.
Dr. Dark’s work has drawn the attention of certain government officials and is now asked to perform an exorcism on their behalf. But little does he know, there's more to this request than what meets the eye.

Fight your way through hordes of monsters!

Explore haunted mansions, catacombs, mountain paths, caves and much more!

Solve classic adventure style puzzles and uncover the secrets of the 11th dimension!
The Dark Files
WARNING: Unlike the story option, these exorcisms are created to be scarier and more heart pounding experiences.
What does Dr. Dark do outside the main story? He does more exorcisms!
The randomly generated mansion will keep you guessing each time you play as you try to collect all items required for the exorcism. Find keys to open locked doors, find the secret passage to the ritual room, and hopefully conduct the ritual before the haunting catches you. All items, keys, corridors, rooms etc. are randomized so each time you play, you’ll have a unique scary experience.

What Steam players say
Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.
January 2025 - *Highly Recommend!* This game is a fantastic blend of old-school puzzle mechanics, a cool atmosphere, and an intriguing story. The game stands out with its immersive world and clever puzzles, offering a nostalgic challenge for fans of classic adventure games. The narrative is engaging with unexpected twists that keep you hooked. It's not a typical horror or survival game—there’s no constant fight for survival or jump scares. Instead, The Dark Method focuses on exploration, puzzle-solving, and story. For those who enjoy action-shooter elements mixed with a deep, atmospheric experience, this game delivers in spades.3 found this helpful
I love playing this game. It does get a bit finicky here and there, but that doesn’t take away from the beautiful scenery and fun little puzzles along the way. I’m thrilled I came across it and took a chance. It’s a hidden gem.1 found this helpful
Tried playing with steam vr and my quest 3. The game constantly crashes right from the beginning so I cannot even start it. I keep getting these unreal crash reports. My PC easily handled half life Alyx so this game should not be close to exceeding my PC requirements. I also already checked the game integrity files and restarted the OC and quest 3, but it still refuses to start the game.1 found this helpful
Played on Vive Pro 2 with index controllers: I cant really tell where all the good reviews come from. The game lacks proper direction. After the tutorial you are thrown into your Appartment with no indication what to do and how to do it. Eventually you might figure out you can start missions from a book, but noone explains you what is what and what does what. Apart from that: I started two missions and in both I managed to get stuck rather quickly: Once in a car in the garage, once on a corner in a building. Both cases I couldnt move away anymore, neither with controller / Teleport, nor with actual Room scale movement. So at the end the game was nothing but frustration.1 found this helpful
The FAQ stated "OBS and LIV FPS Stabilizer might crash game if you don’t have enough memory". This was not a lie. So, it is an off stream game from me. Thumbs up for being up front.
Hidden gem being worked on for sure. :) Currently playing the story first before jumping into the massive random generated haunted mansion :) Only bad point so far is the movement speed is a little slow. This to be update later but overall so far so good. (and I do refund loads of games)
