Read full description

Dark Enigma drops you into chilling mysteries with only one way out: your wits. Each case shows you a strange, unsettling scene — your job is to uncover what really happened by asking questions. But there's a catch: the AI narrator only answers "Yes", "No", or "Irrelevant". Think like a detective. Ask sharp questions, rule out wrong theories, and close in on the truth. When you're ready, state your solution and see if you cracked the case. FEATURES • Atmospheric lateral-thinking mysteries ("dark stories") • An AI narrator that answers only Yes / No / Irrelevant • Single Player with saved progress • Local Multiplayer — 2 to 6 players, pass-and-play on one device • Online Multiplayer — create a room and invite friends with a code or QR • Earn badges: Lightning (solve under 2 minutes) and Genius (under 10 questions) • Buy hints when you're stuck • Global leaderboard and friends • Play in English or Italian Can you read between the lines and solve the enigma? Enter the dark.
