Murder In The Dark (OLD)

Game starts at 3:23

Although it was basically a walking simulator, I was getting paranoid over every turn I make in the game. 

Even though I have not seen Mandela Catalogue I still really enjoyed this game. I thought the music was interesting and fit in with the game style as well. The only thing that bugged me was I couldn't walk any faster and my dude was walking way too slow. Great game though!

I have never felt more uneasy than this….just never knowing what to expect. Well done 

3 Scary Games #2

Great little concept with striking visuals and a good dose of atmosphere. I'll admit I haven't seen the Mandela Catalogue (the game's inspiration), but I thought the game itself was promising nonetheless!

  I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts".

This was really well done! Instead of using just jumpscares, this actually used the environment and ambient sound to create a creepy atmosphere.  Great work! 

I HAVE A HATE AND LOVE RELATIONSHIP WITH DARK TUNNELS SO THIS WAS FUN :D LMAO THANKS FOR THE CREEPY AMBIENCE, THIS WAS FUN

Part of my 4 scary games! Really great game!! You caught the Vibe perfectly! make a full game!! 5/5

I GIVE IT 8/10 THERE IS NOT TO MUCH TO DO BUT THE ATMOSPHERE AND THE SOUND,SFX COVERED THAT ANYWAY I LIKED THE GAME AND I HOPE THAT YOU WILL IMPROVE IT IN THE FUTURE :)

A wonderful game with a wonderful analog horror atmosphere. The gameplay and screamers were a bit lacking, but the presentation covers all the wealth.

honestly, i expected this game way too much because of the environment. i expected to have like lots of jumpscares lmao. really well made game, keep up the good work! 

Okay.. this got me a couple of times! Good job on the use of music to get you used to the noise so the silence later was even creepier!

The Mandela Catalogue Strikes Again - Murder In The Dark 

Great game and I really can't wait to see what you have next 

so many great mandela catalogue games coming out! Great stuff!

Full Play No Commentary 

Great game! I love the "murder in the dark" setup for it and will be looking forward to that 2.0 version if you do decide to make it!

Still an interesting game, and a creepy inspiration from the Mandela Catalogue.

You sir had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish, the constant dread felt unbearable at times (in good way )! You sir have great vision and you haven't even scraped the surface of your potential , hope you continue to make horror games or games in general. Keep up the awesome work , I look forward to more and you've definitely got a follower in me. 

Much Love 

Stay Safe and Stay Positive

Played this game on my channel! Was pretty well made, would love to see what else you'll make!

Very creepy game. Great job! 

Hey this was great! Just wish it was longer, due to that I had to play 2 games related to the mandela catalogue. 

Hopefully my intro and outro helped out with the theme.

Here's my video if anyone wants to check it out!

Great Game.
