When the Darkness comes

This game is genuinely amazing. The experience is life-changing and will change how you feel entirely. Some editing may be required in the game files if you want to experience all of the endings. Also, the dev of the game is an absolutely amazing and fun to talk to person. Shirihan is a great, 10/10 for him too as a person.

Didn’t expect much from a kind of horror/creepy walking simulator, but HOLY **** this subverted any possible expectation I had for this game. The song (Mars landscape: moon set, btw), is incredible yet simple, as is this game. The best way to enjoy this game is putting your headphones, get a blanket, play with the lights off, and immerse yourself in this unforgettable experience. In its 1,5 hr playtime, it strike me more than some of the big budget long duration beasts of the gaming industry. One of the best indie games I’ve ever played, definitely recommended

Absolutely phenomenal metaphor for depression and anxiety. Great game and narrative design. The game is not well optimized though.

Follow your light When the Darkness comes is a totally unique experience. It's cleverly crafted and great at what it does, it's certainly one of the best walking simulators on this steam. It did break my expectations, it was much more than one could ever expect. The story written here is art, it explores areas of our minds that have often been left to dark. For some, the game will be relatable and for most, there is going to be lots to find here. From a technical perspective, while the movement is bit clunky, it's overall good unity quality that was hard to expect from a free to play title. To top all of that, it looks amazing. I would highly recommend this experience. But please, do read the disclaimers.

While playing, I was thinking to myself: "Wow. this game is so boring, 3/10". And games that do cover these difficult topics have been made that are better, there is not another like this that will leave you wondering what the hell you just played.

When the Darkness Comes, is one of those games that is much more than that. The way it is presented to us, has reminded me a lot Stanley Parable, but it is so much deep, more complex. And on each chapter you feel more deeply involved and more deeply despaired. It is a surreal picture of the dark sides of the human mind, of the human emotions. An unique experience, if you feel up to it.

La premisa es interesante: representar la ansiedad social. Los primeros pasos crean un estado similar en el jugador y los niveles te ofrecen retos representativos de los síntomas de esta enfermedad. Ofrece una conclusión abierta un poco abrupta y no termina de perfilar la idea que quiere transmitir, se limita a representar su experiencia. Es una experiencia interesante y gratuita que no lleva mucho tiempo, si te interesa el tema lo recomiendo.
