Title: Suggest nice (and free :) ) point n click adventures with dark atmosphere
Post by: KyriakosCH on Tue 24/07/2018 10:33:13
They don't need to be horror; anything sufficiently dark will do. The more cerebral the better. :)

Eg, i generally liked Sepulchre (not so much the added chapters), and Downfall/The Cat Lady. But anything more bizarre/cerebral would likely be even more of interest.

(edit: you can also suggest non-free, that have a demo chapter)

I think you will like The Marionette:

It *is* horror - which isn't really my thing at all, but this one still grabbed my interest.

I really recommend Traum.
It's a fantastic horror adventure with some very dark tones.  :smiley:

I liked The White Chamber (http://www.studiotrophis.com/site/projects/thewhitechamber) quite a bit.

The Silver Lining - Haunted Castle Experience LOOKS nice, but I can't get it to work, so I don't know if it's any good or not.  :sad:

It's so frustrating - I want to review it for my site, but it always freezes before I even get into the castle.  :cry:
Maybe you'll have better luck?

It probably isn't considered good form to recommend one's own games, but I think there are elements of my latest game, The Clockwork Labyrinth, that might appeal to you.  The atmosphere is surreal rather than scary, but it is quite dark in its own way.  The emphasis is on the puzzles.

Seven years ago I put this game out = Nine Hours to Dawn (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=43513.0)

I had thought I was creating a psychological/survival horror game... the concept drifted during production.  I'd like to hear what you think of it.

Also, Dreamweb (https://www.scummvm.org/games/) is now freeware.

Thank you both (nod)

Dreamweb, huh? I have seen a playthrough. Pretty brutal for its time ;)
(though not as much as Harvester...)

Have you already found/played Donna: Avenger of Blood (http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/site/games/game/1523/)?
It should fit for what you are searching. 8-)
