Description
*** WARNING: This game contains frightening scenes which some players may find disturbing! ***
Although the game works fine on smartphones, for the best experience we recommend you play Dark Fear on a tablet with a decent pair of headphones. If the game "hangs" it's most likely related to low-resource issues on your device. Try shutting down all background apps and freeing up some space before restarting your device. This should help fix the issue.
NOTE: The pond bug which was occuring on a certain Samsung Galaxy devices has been fixed. However if this still happens to you please email us ASAP with details of your device and we will try our best to help sort things out for you. Thank you.
Dark Fear is a unique pixel-horror themed RPG/adventure game
You wake up in pitch blackness. You have no idea who you are, where you are or how you got here - it's up to you to figure it out!
For horror game fans seeking out that ultimate fix, 'Dark Fear' delivers an immersive, frightening experience wrapped in a cinematic soundtrack and a dark, twisted storyline written by an ex-film industry professional. The game can only described as blend between RPG and adventure with a 2D graphical style similar to the classic PC games from the 1980s (think Myst meets Kings Quest). Its simplistic approach allows even the most casual gamers to gently unfold and enjoy its many complex layers of game mechanics.
Explore a diverse landscape filled with forests, mountains, lakes and deserts. Make allies in the local village, upgrade your weapon and armor, go hunting/fishing and fight your way to the truth by slaying your foes, solving puzzles and helping people with their problems.
FEATURES
- A combination of both adventure and RPG game mechanics
- Classic 1980's PC style visuals
- A cinematic Hollywood-style soundtrack composed by film industry professionals
- A deep and engaging storyline

I really enjoyed this game because I like its simplicity. I don't need fancy graphics, or complex game play. I want something I can actually complete; experiencing the different facets of a game, and enjoying it is more important to me than having to conquer it. I got stuck at a spot or two, but not near the difficulty of most games today. I hope the creator releases similar games in the future.

One hell of a game This is game creativity at its finest. This hybrid game of point and click and choose your own adventure, come together to make one of the best atmospheric puzzle adventures I have ever played, right from the beginning it had me gripped. I trawled through all the crap on Google play to find this gem buried beneath all the Gameloft turds, shame on Google. Great puzzles, creepy atmosphere and engaging story, this game needs to be played and talked about. Real gamer reviews

Perfect Retro Homage This game is amazing! This is the game everyone tries to make, but just ends up making a modern game with pixels. This game really feels like a classic game. It's the same way Shovel Knight feels; just modern enough to remove the REALLY rough edges of early games.

OMG Best scare ever!!! I had to say this is the best creepy and scariest game I played. I only played a few seconds and some scene fighting the boss never disappoints you and will scare the pants out of you. Best game ever! Thank you so much for making this awesome game :D

A solid adventure It has atmosphere, a decent story and a couple of good scares. I really love this art style and I do hope the developer makes more like this. It definitely reminds me of the 90s adventure games I played back in the day. I highly recommend this game, it's well worth the time and money.

Awesome. I held off on buying this game because of the graphics. After playing nearly everything in this genre I was looking for something new and was out of options so I thought "what the heck". I'm glad I did. Awesome game. It kept me enthralled for hours. Other devs should take note. Looking forward to more.

Good blend of gameplay This game kept me addicted to it all the way through. Great pacing and well timed mechanics made very playable. Good art style and I appreciate the Sierra style completion counter. Overall a very well crafted game.
Best. Game. Ever. Seriously, an amazing throwback that was scary, challenging, and just fun. Reminded me of my favorite NES point and click adventures, i.e. Shadowgate, Uninvited, etc. Fantastic. Please, PLEASE!!! Make more in a similar vein. You will have a loyal customer. Thank you, sincerely.
Perfect The only problem with this game is that the developer needs to make more like this! Very talented and a very creative mind. A sequel (hopefully longer 😁) would be most welcome. I would easily pay $5+ for more of this type of content/genre of game. Thank you!!!
Solid A game Lack of endgame credits make me wonder about the developers self esteem. This is great title worth 7-10 bucks easy. Great deal!

Please email us regarding this. Thanks Awesome old school game Had a lot of fun on this one. Not too much hunting or fishing to get upgrades. It has a nice progression to it. Fun. A few of the puzzles had me thinking for awhile. Worth the price to me
Perfect! Its an amazing horror rpg blend! I hope there will be more like this from you guys! :)
Great little indie horror RPG Just finished and found this to be rather excellent, if a little linear. I love the retro point and click style and there are some genuinely creepy moments. Perhaps a little too much over reliance on somewhat telegraphed jumpscares, but all in all a solid little game. Definitely recommended and I look forward to more from this developer - hopefully in the form of an expanded and revised successor.
Phenomenal. Once I started this game I couldn't put it down, which says a lot these days. Although short, (I beat it in about 8 hours), it was a lot of fun. Look forward to Dark Fear 2!
Amazing... I LOVE the style of it the gameplay and each jump scare just that much more perfect but the ending after the fight kinda disappointed like nice idea but I would have loved something more exciting you know but still cool maybe make a sequel or another game like this worth 3$ hope this game takes off and you make of of money :-)
Good and fun but........ Game is fun but now when im using my galaxy note 5,and im on a call my screen turns on and off continuously and when i exit the app the music keeps playing even if i shut my screen down,gonna have to uninstall it because its messing up my phone
A lot of fun Really enjoyed mostly everything about this game. Make more like it and I'll buy every single one!
Engaging. I find myself looking at the clock after having played this and be surprised at how much time went by. Fun.
Great game Excellent, well-written, scary and visually appealing game that deserves way more attention.
AMAZING When this game explodes and becomes extremely popular, remember my review. If you want a good game get this one, you won't regret it.

Thank you for your kind words :) Love the atmosphere and graphics A for being original keep up the good work and I never jumped once during game play lol 😛 that's a lie will there be any added content?
A very good game Really enjoyed this. Well thought out, well executed. Would definantly play another game from this developer. Finished it in one night because I couldn't put it down. Give it a shot.
Awesome Definitely need more games like this, great job! Lasting game play, great battles, great story! Would love to see a sequel!
Awesome! Great game I enjoyed it a lot but I wish it was a bit longer, hopefully add some new content? Otherwise Keep up the good work!
Good game Nice indie game. Just finished it. Would be interested in a sequel.
Amazing Awesome game. Great story. Money well spent. You deserve praise and notice.
very good! almost shat my pants at one point, plus I hate horror games, but this one's got the goods, plus that ancien school feel! good job! thanks for the warning by the way(seriously!)
Bugged Game was going okay, until I unlocked the fishing pond and found it bugged. I can go to the pond, but then nothing happens. Clicking around makes random beeping sounds, but still... nothing happens. Once there, I cannot open my inventory, the menu, or do anything else but force close the game. Restarting the game and hitting "continue" lands me in the same situation. The first time this happened I lost a bunch of unsaved progress and had to restart from my last save. I now have a save from just after I unlocked the pond (but before visiting it), and am waiting for a fix before I continue the storyline... Playing on a Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 edition, if that helps...
