Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

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. Horror in the Darkness Redux is an extended and remastered version of the critically acclaimed original game. Original content has been adapted to use the latest features of the Horror series, such as manual save and an easily accessible map button. Expanded content improves the main plot arc and makes for a more fulfilling experience.
