"At first you might find difficult and boring but once you got the hang of it..you will enjoy every bit of it. The plot is simple yet entertaining."

"It is a really good game. The descriptions and text is of really good quality. The story is a bit lacking, I thought it would be this exciting ending, but it turned out really generic. However, there are sequels that both have a larger world and better story writing. This game may be lacking, but the series of games are excellent and this gets you right into them. Not only that, but the quality really stands out compared to most mobile games that are pure ad filler, click air, buggy games."

"This game is fun, although some of the clues are rather too obvious, but
overall it was fun to play."

"Fun Lovecraftian timewaster, a competently arranged interactive novel with
a minimalist aesthetic, yet the top-notch writing and eerie soundtrack are
perfectly atmospheric."

"I am so stupid but the hints helped me when I was stuck, the story was definitely interesting and I loved reading each bit and thinking which way I`ll go to first. I took it nice and slow looking at things to get further details and descriptions before doing anything else. Some sentences were beautifully formed with the choice of words, it brought out quite a nice imagination of the setting and anything physical in the area. Very nice!"

"Short but fun interactive story about a supernatural artifact I wish it had some mind-altering effect on the protagonist as well but the story cuts short as soon as you find it"

"I installed it 5 years ago, I remember I played this game effortlessly without hints. I played again yesterday and forgot all the storyline, the only thing I remember is that it was dark, horrifying. I enjoyed playing this with hints now. I love that it feels so vivid and engaging. Small size, no annoying ads. I highly recommend this game for everyone."

"A fun semi-traditional IF game (this isn`t Zork, but it has plenty of ``use the x with the y.``) It`s easy—I only had to resort to a hint for one puzzle, and I`m usually a hint user. Many room descriptions don`t mention every exit, but they are almost always visible on the map, so it`s not a huge problem. Overall very satisfying and atmospheric. It`s definitely worth the hour or so it takes to play."

DESCRIPTION
Horror in the Darkness is a short exploration and puzzle solving adventure game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft, where players explore and investigate, putting together clues and solve puzzles to uncover the secrets of Wentsire Manor. It is a mobile phone adaption of the classic text-based adventure genre, similar to the point-and-click classics. The game combines a bleak environment and an sense of underlying dread with moments of comedy to keep you entertained.
Fresh back from the horrors of World War 2, our protagonist was working as a private investigator. Not hugely successful, but it paid the bills. Mostly. But when the widow of his old friend needed his help nothing could have prepared him for the bizarre and uncanny events that were about to unfold.
If you enjoyed this part, the adventure continues in the sequel, Horror at Innsport. Available now on Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nz.co.karmicshift.horror2a
