  Those that follow my reviews know that over time I’ve raised 2 pertinent questions… 1) Is it even vaguely possible for anyone to make a GOOD game using the FPSC engine? 2) Is there such a thing as a GOOD maze game? This is probably the closest example I’ve got to as a resounding ‘yes’ to both questions. A lot of the negative reviews in all honesty is really aimed at the FPSC engine itself. Its notorious for crashing regardless how skilled the developers programming skills are on up-to-date systems and often gameplay options are severely limited. Never the less, moderators like to often tinker with this archaic 2005 game engine due to its simplistic layout which allows anyone to create a game thanks to its simple drag and drop premise. Because of this reason, Steam has become inundated with such projects from people who simply don’t know how to fix issues thanks to their lack of programming skills. On the other hand, other companies such as Mojiken have welcomed the engine using it as a teaching tool in their computer programming boot camps. Teaching their staff, the value of their current engines by using archaic ones and the thankful avoidance of vexing time needed to troubleshoot thereafter when using such an archaic programme. Dark places (2019) was created by Madbox Entertainment, which is really Bloody Pixel, who by circumstantial evidence appears to be a single Russian Indie Dev named Andrij Matskevych. Make no mistake about it, you would have to be blind not to see that a LOT of work and Love has gone into this product. Essentially, it’s a game consisting mostly of mazes and the need to traverse them while avoiding pre made or bought asset pack NPC’s. Those who are quick to criticise I implore you to try and make a game half as decent as this yourself using the fpsc, then it should become clear in no time the amount of man hours that went into this. It became quickly evident to me that not only does this guy actually know how to programme due to meshing factors from other mods into this one, but he has even fixed a number of core issues with the fpsc engine itself by doing so. Never the less, no matter how skilled you are, this programme will always maintain a crash experience for nearly every gamer, hence I can only surmise that his time spent with this programme is only to challenge himself as a programmer. The developer has tried to dish up something that he himself cherishes and that is a ‘Doom’ old school like experience. The story is a bit of a let down for me personally as in all honesty I’m no more informed after playing this game than I was before I even started. Apparently, you’re a demon hunter and in the end, you hunt the demon and lock him up in your own mind. This makes zero sense to me. Common-sense alone dictates demons are much more powerful than humans and locking them up in your own mind through self-willed determination is no real guarantee. Overall, I chalk the experience to a spread-out number of mazes, fashioned from the premade asset packs and an unsubstantial supernatural silly shenanigan story fitted to blend in all the mazes to suit. This is nothing new and pretty much every single indie Russian Dev has gone down this yawnful path. There are a couple things I really like here though too. The sound and music department is rich in adding atmosphere especially the levels where you have to find keys to unlock memories that you have caged up. While this is a basic explanation to explain the common push button or collect key mechanic, we often get in Indie games, it’s a reasonable explanation regardless of its basic premise. One thing that will help you, if you choose to venture forward which I wish I knew before entering into this title was 1) You can pick up lanterns by right clicking, but you can’t hold a gun and a lantern at the same time, you must choose one or the other. 2) You can move cupboards, stack corpses and boxes by right clicking too. 3) while the game has a pretty good automatic save system it does pay to save your game manually too after you finish a level. So, in final, a formidable amount of work went into this, the original musical score dresses this up way more than it should for a fpsc game, like putting a tuxedo on a corpse. Waste of a good tuxedo. The lack of clarification was a big issue for me personally in the story and some people may become unnecessarily vexed due to lack of proper in game instructions. Nevertheless, its one of the best examples I’ve seen to date of what one can do with the fpsc engine and the game will take you around an hour to complete giving your profile an extra 9 achievements to clothe itself with, which ALL unlock.

  Same shit as Doomed and Crimson Metal games. Bugs, crashes and more crashes and the classic no options whatsoever. But new groundbreaking innovation! Physics puzzles in a game where physics are absolute awful and jumping frequently causes you to glitch trough walls and map boundaries. Why am I torturing myself playing this?

  Probably the best FPS Creator game in the survival horror genre i have played. For those who are not familiar with this engine, of course, you will not like many aspects and limitations. But personally, this does not prevent me from immersing myself in this beautiful atmosphere of horror.

  Personally got a few jumps and actually like this game. there's something about it that has charm. If this game came out 10 years ago this would probably be a classic

  Not a bad puzzle shooter. There are some weird map designs and it kind of reminds me of late 90's dark FPS.. something in the vain of Kingpin. There are a few cool looking monsters and sometimes the furniture on the ceiling reminds me of Silent Hill. My problem is that this game was super easy and has a copious amount of ammo and health scattered around... the ending was also bland..... still not bad for a few bucks!

  Liked the first half the most and it seemed like a silent hill type of story at the beginning. The mood and music were good. Once we got to the second half, it became disjointed as the levels started to include random real world locations that just didn't fit with the first. The second half also had a number of random crashes to the desktop when you would load a saved game. I finished it in about 2.5 hours and was glad I played it but liked the first half the best.

  So I originally had no clue this game existed, until I stumbled on CRIMSON METAL on sale and figured I'd give the set of three a go. This is by far my favourite of the bunch. The combat is pretty bland, and the puzzles are pretty straight forward. But the atmosphere, by the gods, the atmosphere is suffocating. With any horror game with shooter elements, to actually be on edge while playing is something impressive, and Dark Places does it for me. I'm still not all the way through, so I'll review this review when I'm finished, but first impressions are very positive.

  Honestly I have a guilty pleasure for these kinda cheesy horror games. its not scary but it dose have this atmosphere to it. Its kinda like watching an old horror movie. It might have been scary to some people, but the cheep effects and makeup just give you this almost nostalgic love for it. get it on sale or something. I mean it's not over priced for what it is, but some people might still wana save a few bucks on it.

  I hate this stupid steam they want to be this super game highjacker but dont have a clue about anything related to the games they sell,I have a problem with getting stuck in the middle of the hallway,when going to where you go through the wall and come back out in the hall and get stuck with nothing blocking you,no help from steam all they know is refund not fix.There should be a law against them to block them from being able to highjack our games,they dont have a clue about fixing anything so they should not be in control of games,never wanted to have to join was never asked if I wanted to join,just had to.Thats just ripoff shit.I dont want a refund just want game fixed.
