Another game signed by the guys from Frictional Games, who take advantage of the second version of their HPL graphics engine, to show us how to tell a story of survival and horror, without the need to shoot bullets.

Following the recommendations to play in the dark and with headphones to improve immersion, and reminding us that it is not a game designed to win, we delve into the darkness.

This time we play as the amnesiac young man ¿Daniel?, who must explore a gloomy Prussian castle, to find and perhaps kill (a note signed by ¿us? asks for it) the owner of the castle, a certain Alexander.

In this game, our character must find the balance between the scarce light that the numerous torches will provide us on our way, and the necessary and omnipresent darkness, which will allow us to escape alive from the terrible looters that roam the corridors of this castle, against which we can only run and hide.

Although we will also have our precious lantern, with valuable and scarce oil, the greatest difficulty of this game is to overcome the scares when we are likely to encounter our enemies, and the need to run to some dark corner, where we remain motionless while our sanity slips through our fingers, sometimes we can hear our own body trembling, and flirting with madness.

Our ability to flee, and cross doors while an indescribable being chases us, will be essential to overcome this adventure, in which, in addition, our interest in discovering who we are or what we are doing there, will give us successive moments of flashback in which we will remember fragments of our life, some of which will lead us to visit the terrible dungeons of the castle, where all kinds of torture devices were used.

This game is distributed by the developers themselves, so it is a regular in the promotions of free codes, so probably many of you already have it in your collection, although you probably have not dared to try it

The best: the concept

The worst: development of the argument

Would you recommend it to other forum members: it's free!

Salu2! Jugones!

PD: for those who have played it or do not think about doing so, a funny summary of the game in the spoiler

Piece of Review…yes sir, it's flawless!! It's clear that the new year didn't make you lose your good game analysis skills I must say that I tried it, I would play it for a few hours (at my parents' house, during the day and with speakers), a couple of years ago. My impression is that it has very good quality, an atmosphere of suspense, loneliness and huge uncertainty. I had a bad time at some moments and I was with my heart in my hand :llorar:, that's why I didn't dare to continue jajaja.
Maybe someday I'll get brave, but well. Best regards!!
