The Black Within

​​The Black Within is a nice short (~ 60 min) horror game from one single Developer. I really liked the Story and how it's been told. Nice scenery, nice jump scares, which even got me twice, but possibly others more because I am not that easy to scare. The only negative would be that if you start the game, it starts on unlimited FPS, which made my whole PC crash out. (I still finished it, tho. 🙂) So be sure to check the FPS settings before you start the game. If you like games in your steam collection you can play it here, but if you like itch.io you can also play it there and "support" him over there. So now a not really important but sad little side fact, there are no steam achievements, even if there is definitely room and possibility for them. WOULD I RECOMMEND THE GAME ? YES - I would​ ​absolutely recommend this game. Not only because the song is also pretty nice and moodwise, it reminded me a lot about my FAVE GAME EVER (In Sound Mind) but also like said above, the mood and how the story is told is just amazing 🙂 I am definitely excited for "Green Light" his the next game. (there's a demo already, and I might play it as well) Feel free to watch my playtrough here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uSE-GMc0OwA

the game is fun and theres definitely a good horror aspect too it, i would prefer if the game had some chase sequences but for 59p i cant really complain, very good game but did encounter a few bugs.

Best horror game iv've played in ages. This game was amazing. The visuals, the stereo sound effects. The two houses you search look really good. You get a torch and a lighter but most parts you dont need the flashlight or lighter as the house areas have dim lights anyway. The creepy atmosphere is great and very well done. You won't be running from monsters which is gerat but its the atmosphere and the sudden jumpscares that make this one awesome. The music is great too. The end ws awesome, as I walked to the light, the voiceover guy was like "YOUR ALMOST THERE" YOU CAN DO IT".....which added to the ambience oft he scene, and added to the emotional scene as you walked to the light. The whole game was just fantastic. I suffered one issue through the whole game. The game froze on me for some reason and locked up when I inserted a fuse into the fuse box, I had to exit and reload and redo the the last 5 minutes I had already done. Auto saving but no manual save. I didnt see any auto save icon on the screen so no idea when it saved each time. Awesome game. If you haven't played The Black Within give it a go its great. It took me 1.h 25 to finish the game. You have events to find through the game, and you'll be picking up pictrues with text on and looking at them to progress the game/ 10/10. Don't miss this game if you haven't played it. It seems there aren't any achievements. Great game though.

Perfect game for those just starting to play games in the horror genre. No chasing, but has jump scares that got me even though I was expecting them. Roughly 60-70 minutes to complete

Thought this was a little annoying to play tbh, and the writing at the end is silly. But I can see some potential from an indie dev, with some surprising attempts at production value.

[h1]THE BLACK WITHIN[/h1] Yet another short horror walking simulator that has a nice creepy atmosphere. The visuals are fine so is the audio/music/voice acting. There is some light puzzles to uncover key items but nothing too annoying! So what is this one? Like the synopsis says, this is Laila, a prominent singer that is willing to go at any length for fame and fortune. No technical issues nor bugs encountered in my playthrough. Perfect UltraWide monitor support. HOWEVER, I'd like to point out that the game is not that well optimized and kept pushing my GPU at full throttle on default settings. Once I fixed the FPS to 120, the game ran better and my GPU wasn't a rocket engine no more. [h1]RECOMMENDATION:[/h1] [b]Simple and short horror walking simulator. You already know those and if you're familiar with that kind of game, THE BLACK WITHIN is a pretty decent one. I recommend you get this game before get the sequel, THE GREEN LIGHT.[/b]

Very nice game. Loved it. Played the 2nd game too... The Green Light. Waiting for your 3rd game Dev... keep up the good work !!!
