  Positive: - Some of the puzzles are brilliant, I had tons of fun in the final part of the game with the math puzzles. Unfortunately puzzles like these are getting more and more uncommon in recent games. - The game definitely does not hold your hand during solving puzzles, it encourages exploration and deductive reasoning. That is always nice. - Atmosphere has the right amount of creepiness. Negative: - Some of the puzzles are criminally under clued. Hence you need to do a lot of random guessing, to the point that it gets frustrating. The game would definitely benefit from more text (journals, diagrams etc.) and hints. - Exploration is severely hindered by the interface. You character can walk fast, but the interactions with the environment is super slow. Hence trying out new ideas take forever... This is the biggest weakness of the game. - Story and setting seemed interesting but you don't get to learn much about it. Like my previous point, it would have been great to have more journals (or audio logs or something like that) so that we could learn more about this facility and their experiment. - It is a bit short, feels like 60% of a full game. Conclusion: Dark hope is a mixed bag, some of the puzzles are great but the interface and lack of clues prevents the game from reaching its full potential. I would recommend it anyway, since it is very difficult to comes across games like these in recent times. If you are a puzzle adventure lover, this game will scratch your itch, The designer is definitely talented, I will be watching out for his new games.
