*** WARNING: This game contains frightening scenes which some players may find disturbing! ***

Description

You wake up in pitch blackness. You have no idea who you are, where you are or how you got here - it’s up to you to figure it out!

For horror game fans seeking out that ultimate fix, ‘Dark Fear’ delivers an immersive, frightening experience wrapped in a cinematic soundtrack and a dark, twisted storyline written by an ex-film industry professional. The game can only described as blend between RPG and adventure with a 2D graphical style similar to the classic PC games from the 1980s (think Myst meets Kings Quest). Its simplistic approach allows even the most casual gamers to gently unfold and enjoy its many complex layers of game mechanics.

Explore a diverse landscape filled with forests, mountains, lakes and deserts. Make allies in the local village, upgrade your weapon and armor, go hunting/fishing and fight your way to the truth by slaying your foes, solving puzzles and helping people with their problems.


Features

- A combination of both adventure and RPG game mechanics
- Classic 1980’s PC style visuals
- A cinematic Hollywood-style soundtrack composed by film industry professionals
- A deep and engaging storyline
- PC version comes with higher clarity, improved audio quality



Release Date

The PC version of Dark Fear (with enhanced audio) can be downloaded from Steam: http://store.steampowered.com/app/454160

Screenshots, trailer, download links and presskits can be found at the Dark Fear website: http://www.arifgames.com/launch/darkfear


Media Reviews of iOS Version

“With its simple ‘cabin in the woods’ setup, Dark Fear evolves into something that eclipses many horror games released today” - TouchArcade - 90%

“There’s little else out there quite like Dark Fear, and its brooding tension and moodiness is a great way to ensure that you’ll be hooked all the more by what unfolds” - Gamezebo - 90%

“...enthralling, well-put together and leaves you in suspense right up to the end” - Appgamer - 100%

Wow! I love the look of this - this is being released for Android and iOS?  Any plans for a PC release?  I never seem to play my adventure games much on my tablets or phone.

But this looks super cool to me.

Thanks for your comments. I’m glad you like it. Smile

Yes this is initially an iOS and Android release as the game’s controls have been specifically designed for touchscreen devices. However, if there’s enough demand then there’ll most likely be a PC/Mac port at some point too.

Just to let you all know everything is going well with the development and nothing has stopped or slowed down (despite the lack of recent updates). I’m currently working on the game scripts which will basically give me a full alpha version of the game with placeholder graphics and very little music/sfx.

Once this has been tested to a satisfactory level then the graphics, animations and the rest of the audio can go in before final beta testing and release.

Stay tuned!

Thanks for all the updates, Arif. While I haven’t made a comment yet, since I haven’t had much to say, I just wanted to speak up and let you know that I enjoy following along what’s happening with the game. I’m very much looking forward to it!

UPDATE

I’ve been super busy sorting out the game’s scripts, which are now 100% complete. This basically means I now have a functioning version of the full game with crude placeholder line-art graphics. The game will now be thoroughly tested to make sure it plays well from start to finish and to also make sure the RPG elements are balanced and fair.

The next step after that will be to draw and add the rest of the final graphics before adding all the sound/music (yes, there’ll be screenshots posted from time to time Smile )

UPDATE

OK the game’s been tested from beginning to end and despite a few minor issues with balancing some of the combat stats (which have now been sorted) everything’s been tested and is working great Smile

The next step is completing the rest of the graphics and animations.

SCREENSHOT PLUS UPDATE

Have changed the resolution of the game so that it fit’s an iPad perfectly. All screenshots in the main post have been updated to the newer, slightly larger ones to reflect this change.

Also, here’s another screenshot for you Smile
