## What is The Dark Pursuer?

You find yourself locked up alone in an abandoned place, but something is nearby, something dark and dangerous. Try to look for ways to get out of there before you can no longer...

You can also play multiplayer with your friend! In this mode you are the player and your friend is the monster that will try to catch you. Hide from him and run away to win. The multiplayer is now global, you just create a name for the match, and your friend connects to the game by the name of the match from anywhere.

For a better experience, play with headphones!

### 3/5 — Modo on-line.

*2026-02-08*

Deveria ser obrigatório em todos os jogos de terror ter modo cooperativo, que não é o caso desse, sempre tem um jogador que precisa ser o monstro, isso é péssimo, Ainda mais que é preciso pagar pra jogar online tanto no Android quanto no iOS.

### 3/5 — Not as good

*2025-03-13, version 1.97*

The game is not as good as what you’ve read online make it out to be. The problem with this game is the monster, like someone mentioned already, is the monster being able to find you regardless where you hide when the power is completely out. If you do hide behind something like those heavy doors, there is a specific one in which after you hide, the monster will run into the room you’re in and will not leave until its time limit is up; in which it despawns and then respawns some place else. I’ve only managed to beat it ONCE on PC. Zero times on mobile coming close a few times. Why? It knows WHERE I am. Fix this. It’s annoying. What’s the sense of having your flashlight ON, if it can FIND YOU!?

### 1/5 — Rendez moi mes 0,99€

*2023-10-15*

Ce jeux est certes multiplieurs mais ce n’était pas ce que j’attendais un 1v1 contre ma meuf je pensais que c’était du duo et nn un 1v1🥲🥲🥲

### 5/5 — It’s really good!

*2023-05-21, version 1.95*

It’s a really fun game, and terrifying but quick question. How do you hide from the monster?

### 5/5 — Meu jogo de terror favorito de celular

*2023-05-14*

Muito bom mesmo jogo a anos já

### 5/5 — Nota 10!

*2023-05-12*

Achei muito bom ate porque é o primeiro jogo brasileiro de terror desse tipo a ser lançado achei top o grafico bem legal e os efeitos sonoros tb achei um jogo massa, que aborda um conteudo legal n mt pesado!

### 1/5 — Мм

*2023-05-05*

Можно было и поработать над мультиплеер игрой , нет интереса так играть, когда кто-то из нас монстр , а кто-то человек, можно же было сделать чтоб 2-3 человек играли, искали предметы  и также поставить бота монстра как в одиночном режиме , и опять же показывает плохое соединение, но интернет хороший , стоит доработать всё, а потом уже выпускать. Тогда игра должна быть бесплатная вообще .

### 1/5 — …

*2023-03-11*

Нет подключение к интернету

### 2/5 — Ich will meine 50ct wieder

*2023-02-01*

Mehrspieler geht nicht und im single player hab ich zu viel Angst. Bitte helft mir 👉👈

### 4/5 — It’s been a while

*2022-12-20, version 1.93*

Honestly thought nothing else was going to come. I stopped playing a while ago but still come back to check and see if there’s an update. And today I just so happened to be lucky. New monsters?! Redownloaded the game really quick and bought the pack.

We need more DLC’s like this wether it be monsters or new maps. Hopefully we see more monsters tho, wouldn’t mind paying for another set of 3-4 monsters.
