Played this a loopooong time ago

Wish the developer had made more games.

A must play horror rpg

For a pixel graphics game this does the job! I was stuck for a game to play and saw Dark Fear randomly mentioned on Reddit and gave it a try… and didn’t stop until I completed it. Mature storyline, very ‘Hammer House of Horror’ feel to the game. Perfectly balanced, money gathering methods and weapon / armour increase at just the perfect pace for combat to be a challenge. You won’t get lost. Simple combat / hunting mechanics. Will keep you happy for about 4-6 hours and worth every penny. tip : click everything as that errant pixel is likely something to discover. Oh and effective jump scares. Well done dev! More please!

Boring

Way too much grinding. The game would be about 5 minutes long if you didn’t have to stop and do hunting constantly.

A rare find - don’t let it pass

I originally bought this for my desktop, never realizing it was available on the iPad. The desktop was sooo much fun I decided to check and VOILA! I can not play this anywhere with my iPad. It’s dark/creepy with a really good story/plot to keep you interested. The gameplay is simple, but still engaging and the graphics are so retro & cool. I’ve paid way more for games that were not 1/2 as good, snatch this one up if you can.

Very well worth it

For the price, go for it.
I enjoyed my time playing it. I liked how the plots are combined together at the end.
Great purchase.
