About this game

Horror in the Darkness is a short exploration and puzzle solving adventure game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, where players explore and investigate, putting together clues and solve puzzles to uncover the secrets of Wentsire Manor. It is a mobile phone adaption of the classic text-based adventure genre, similar to the point-and-click classics. The game combines a bleak environment and an sense of underlying dread with moments of comedy to keep you entertained.

Fresh back from the horrors of World War 2, our protagonist was working as a private investigator. Not hugely successful, but it paid the bills. Mostly. But when the widow of his old friend needed his help nothing could have prepared him for the bizarre and uncanny events that were about to unfold.

Horror in the Darkness Redux is an extended and remastered version of the critically acclaimed original game. Original content has been adapted to use the latest features of the Horror series, such as manual save and an easily accessible map button. Expanded content improves the main plot arc and makes for a more fulfilling experience.

A fantastic text-based puzzle game, and an even better start to an incredible series. This game is challenging and requires a strength in connecting dots in places overlooked. Horror in the Darkness is an adventure worth following, and if you get the chance, I highly recommend spending the quick dollar on the premium version for the extra content.

Very interesting game, nice Lovecraft atmosphere, and no ads. I liked that I can try all the actions on weird things. The puzzles were pretty straightforward. I had no problem except for trying to remember where the remaining locked doors were. The map was very helpful. I didn't mind walking back and forth several times but apparently with upgraded version you can jump to any location directly. The only complaint is that it's too short. I want more!

A solid text based adventure, though a few interactions were on the opaque side. They didn't detract from the overall experience however! I enjoyed myself and, though I don't believe I missed anything, I wound up with a variety of items in my inventory that had, seemingly no use. Whether this was intended to throw me off, if I'm just a bit of a hoarder in games, if I missed stuff, or if there were multiple ways to solve puzzles, I don't know. Either way, good for some entertainment and enjoyment
