“When it comes to horror games there are hits and misses and while it only takes a few things right to properly nail the horror element, so many end up missing the mark, especially in the indie scene. That being said, for every five indie horror games that fail to muster enough scares or worthwhile gameplay to keep players interested, there is at least one that manages to pull it off in its own way. Dead of Darkness just so happens to be one of those. An indie survival horror game designed with a retro-pixel aesthetic, there are many aspects of the game that harken back to some classics and even a rather surprising element that rarely is used much despite its popularity in retrospect, but has it come together to deliver a solid game when everything is said and done?”
