Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
In 1985 England, private investigator Miles Windham follows a lead on the mysterious death of his daughter that takes him to Velvet Island. But once he arrives on the island, he soon realizes that the residents are behaving strangely. In fact, there is a growing hostility towards the investigator that feels as though it is becoming stronger by the minute. It doesn't take long until the situation escalates and Miles finds himself in a struggle for his own survival.
Dead of Darkness is a survival-horror action-adventure with cosmic horror influences.
Complex, multi-layered narrative. Meet more than 15 characters over the course of the game - each with their own story that revolves around the terrible secrets of Velvet Island.
Challenging survival-horror. Resources are scarce, your inventory is limited, and danger lurks around every corner. Plan your routes carefully if you want to survive.
Intense hallucinations. Each enemy encounter takes a toll on your mental state. The lower your mental state, the stronger the hallucinations you will experience - some will even blur the distinction between reality and fiction.
Relentless enemies. 13 different enemies are hungry for your flesh, and some of them will stalk you relentlessly. Fight them, run from them, or use your wits to outsmart them.
Become a detective. Search your environment, inspect items and read documents in order to unlock clues. Use these clues to reveal hidden troves or unlock secret passageways.

Very great game for survival horror fan, specially resident evil fans. the only problem I have is the fact that it doesn't pause when I use my inventory
Sadly I can't recommend this game. I'm a big fan of the classic survival horror games, but this game regurgitates puzzles too much. I've only played for a bit, and have already encountered the Piano puzzle and the picture frame puzzle from Resident Evil 1. Then annoyingly, this game does not pause when in the inventory, interacting with objects or reading files. The fact you're limited to 8 directions for aiming can mess up your shots as well, which is bad given the copious amounts of enemies and limited ammo. I really wanted to like this game. It opened really strongly with some interesting characters with good voice acting and start of a original story with a detective angle compared to the standard survival horror. But so far that had only meant combining clues with items.

Worth the price. I have always wanted to play a survival horror pixel games (just missing and RPG survival horror now), and lives up to it. There are some recurring themes from big sagas, but somehow manages to have something original and engaging. Sequel? I believe this game have everything to set up a new series, all my best wishes to the devs if that is what they are aiming for. Downsides: I would say are that a lot of the lore stays as a mystery and that's good but i do feel like the first two location of the game barely provides information about what is going on, those locations are not bad at all, it is used to set up the atmosphere but again I felt like the plot moves slow in comparison for whats to come later on. A gameplay downside? Hmm not really i think i only hated when sometimes i would aim at one direction but due to a small movement of the joystick it would shoot at a different direction.
This game is AMAZING. It's like a Resident Evil 2 in pixel art. It's not perfect (I hate the lantern with all my heart), but it has a great gameplay, a great story and a satisfying ending. I really hope that the story will continue. Try this out; you will not be disappointed
Dziadziuś Resident byłby dumny.
上古的画风,但是可玩性挺高,各种探索解密充满了老生化的味道,格子危机,弹药稀缺,即便是中等难度,霰弹枪弹药分配不合理 都会稀缺,困难往上可想而知,双主角 流程长度也比老生化长。有3点让我不太爽的就是,1、状态栏界面居然游戏不能暂停,怪物还能过来攻击,用钥匙开门没法自动进行,就必须在状态栏界面使用,因为不能暂停,开个门还可能被攻击。 2、战斗中霰弹枪换弹药速度太慢,本来就只能填装5发,时长需要换,如果敌人多,或者BOSS移动快,换弹真的蛋疼。 3、地图最好还是加上人物定位,很多时候都不知道自己身在哪里(这点作者后面发文提过,这款游戏是不会加了,下一个新作会考虑)。整体来说还是很值得常识体验的一款像素风格的类生化游戏。
If you like 16-bit SNES games, and one that makes you feel like you're playing Resident Evil or Silent Hill - this game is for you. I'm only 14 hours in at the time but, the gameplay is fun, the story is amazing, and the fantastic character illustrations mixed with the voice acting really make it come together. I didn't think this game would creep me out that much, but for something 2-D and 16-bit-ish, it made my heart race! I mostly play metroidvanias and this game is SO much fun. Thank's devs!
Eğer Alone in the Dark ve Resident Evil hayranıysanız,eski ekol korku-macera türüne de aşinaysanız Dead of Darkness bulunmaz nimet. 10-15 saat arası süren oynanışı bulunuyor.2D Pixel-art türünde oynadığım en alengirli ve en uzun oyunlardan biriydi (korku türünde tabii) Tavsiye ederim.
Excelente juego, totalmente nostálgico y se nota la inspiración de "Resident Evil", disfrute el juego.
ill write more later but wow this is fantastic
