Blinding Dark

Disappointing, buggy. VERY BUGGY, puzzles are... Awful. There's no guidance in this game. You're basically running through rooms, you have to check every wall in every room to make sure you don't miss the place you're supposed to go. Puzzles basically mean "Pick up these boxes and climb up this", there's no variety at all. The enemies are god awful. "I WILL KILL YOU" will be said about 80 times throughout this game, if not more. Your weapons are incredibly weak compared to their lores, considering your melee weapon is an axe that 'rips guts out'. It takes about 10 hits on the most common enemy to kill. 4 shots with a holy gun that's incredibly inaccurate. Upgrading mana is probably useless, it doesn't really help much at all. The game requires a lot of movement but you have stamina for sprinting so when you're stuck in a maze (Yes, a maze!) you can't sprint through it and instead have to hear the pathetic panting of your character. Physics are bugged out as fuck. Infact in terms of ...

Here is a link to my [url=http://youtu.be/RmbtBmBht60]Blinding Dark EP#1[/url] and [url=http://youtu.be/buziDR7ydPo]Blinding Dark EP#2[/url] Thoughts on this game. I bought it since it was new, had no reviews at the time, and I like suspenseful games. For me I'm mixed - I first gave it a thumbs up and then a thumbs down...back to a thumbs up. I could go either way because I like the mystery of what is going on and that makes up for the lack of explanation in the game. Pros: The lack of knowledge keeps me wanting to find out more. There is a mix of spells and weapons. Variety of puzzles to advance. Cons: There are some glitches to be worked out. I found the lack of info on torch and orb frustrating - I didn't know what to do for a bit because of this. In the first few areas there is a lot of asset and map duplication. Overall: If your thoughts coincide with what I was talking about above - you'll probably enjoy the game. If you are on the edge to buy or not - check out some videos...

No this is not like Amnesia as a few people have said. I have been playing for the last 1.5 hours and i`m enjoying this game so far. This is not a final review, i just wanted to tell everyone it`s NOT like Amnesia.

even though this game is only 10 dollars it's not in my opinion worht it. constantly freezing and/or locking up. terrible AI, and lack of any real fun for me. it would be a great free to play but I wouldn't waste the money on it.

Amnesia without stealth but with guns, stupid monsters and lags.

The game shows a lot of promise... unfortunately it is not running very well. Actually it is not running at all... On ubuntu 14.04 LTS with latest nvidia drivers it is unplayable. The screen locks up the moment I move my mouse (only menu works). I can alt-tab out and it is responding for a brief second, then locks up again. I tried different drivers, I always have all latest updates installed. I was told by the developer to try the game on a different pc with ubuntu installed but having in mind that this is the only game out of many that I played I think the idea is a bit ridiculous. Ubuntu 14.04 is a distro that is somewhat in the first league as far as it comes to Linux and from what I can see this game has a very lousy support for Linux os. Be warned if you are a Linux user - potentialy you are about to buy a product that you will not be able to use at all.

Blinding Dark is an immensely short first person horror game clocking around about 2.5 hours if you're not getting stumped or killed constantly. The game is fun and charming to begin with as it's going for a very Clive Barker's Undying style of gameplay as well as some of the funny writing in a specific journal entry citing that the main character might have shit his pants so that was pretty amusing. Things seem alright if somewhat derivitave from the get-go (You lost you memory, in some spoopy place, etc, etc, we've seen it before) but as you get further and further into the game, things start to take a downward spiral from the confusing, to the annoying, to the outright frustrating and then to the utterly disappointing. I like the game in a weird charming way but it doesn't get that 'So bad that it's good' vibe like it had in the beginning as at the end it had more of a 'I feel rather disappointed now' kind of vibe. But I'll break it down to pros and cons because TL;DR amirite? Pros...

Yay! I finally got a good indie game on Steam! Well, enough for a thumbs-up. +Game runs amazing on my good/modest system. Smooth framerate. +Weird alternate reality horror adventure. +Weapons have very different functions. +10 bucks 5 hours, I got my moneys worth and would like to see where else this goes. +not sure how long this game took to develop, but the voice actor gets better as the game goes on. -combat works, but is pretty bad and doesn't alway express how cool the weapons/tools are. -health/bloodspat indicator obstructs view. Why not put it with Stam/mana meter -speaking of which...Stam/mana meter obsutructs view also. Too big even in high-res -spiked horror guy has shinobi-ninja moves. Cheezy. -No ending? Would of been cool if the main character coulda said a few things before you guys rolled your short indie credits.

Just bought this game put in may be an hour play time. It is really cool. scared the crap out of me already. I would rate this a good buy. recomend this game to any one who liked amneisa,parnumba or door ways. When you see demons that will kill you I recomend run hide colse the doors. have not found a way to kill them yet. It is kind of real scary when you do not know how to defend yourself just run unlike other games where you can just blast them away. good job to the creator scary game.

Well.. started playing it today.. it has a creepy feeling to it and i got a bit scared( so seems to be worth my money..I will come back later. So far it seems very good :D
