The game as a whole feels like Ps1 Darkstone, Which is a hardcore rpg, dnd classic, As a fan of darkstone i like it, Just maybe add some grunts for the mc, add more sound effects and I would say its a 7/10, Definitely a fast paced time killer.
Игра 'The Dark Book' — это настоящее погружение в атмосферу таинственности и исследования. С первых минут тебя затягивает мрачный, но завораживающий мир, где каждая тень таит в себе загадку, а каждый шепот может быть ключом к разгадке. Механика игры, основанная на поиске улик и решении головоломок, заставляет мозг работать на полную катушку, не давая расслабиться ни на секунду. Особенно впечатляет визуальный стиль: детализированные локации, мрачное освещение и отлично проработанные персонажи создают неповторимое ощущение присутствия. Сюжет держит в напряжении до самого конца, подкидывая неожиданные повороты и заставляя сомневаться в каждом своем предположении. Это не просто игра, а настоящее приключение, которое оставляет после себя долгое и приятное послевкусие. Рекомендую всем любителям жанра, кто ценит глубокую историю и продуманный геймплей.

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microtransaction]Warning: Microtransaction infested mobile app![/url][/b] This game is infested with a toxic mobile app style cash shop. You will be prompted to and expected to give money to the developers through this cash shop to buy in-game goods so you can play the game.[/quote] "The Dark Book" is one of thousands of nasty mobile apps infesting the "free" section of Steam, but it's not really free. This is the kind of thing that looks like a real game and could easily fool gamers who don't look any deeper... really, this is a barebones (geddit, because you play a skeleton, that's funny) asset flipped RPG where, you guessed it, you can't progress without buying magical items in the toxic mobile app cash shop. Disgusting. There's only a superficial game here. The game visuals and the game itself are incredibly shallow... think of them as the too-bright, colourful, thin plastic cabinet dress theme on a poker machine at the casino. That's basically what this is. So really, the mobile app "game" is just a veneer, a thin skin wrapped around a nasty, predatory mobile app cash shop. Putting that toxic mobile app monetisation aside... this is a mobile app. I didn't spend thousands on a gaming PC so I could pretend it's an iPhone, and I don't think you did either... this kind of mobile app has no place in your Steam library. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 7 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. I didn't pay money, but I still feel ripped off.
