Project Dark : A Quick Game Review

Project Dark is a narrative driven immersive audio game where you are supposed to make decisions and choices based on the voices that you hear. Honestly, I had never played this type of game before where you are just guided by the voice and the screen nearly appears to be just dark. The feeling was a bit nostalgic to taking an IELTS listening test. At first it seemed interesting to me but I quickly lost my interest as I am more driven by visual contents rather than just plain audio contents with not much of interesting topics.

In the gameplay, all you need to do is to swipe on the screen to the left or right and sometimes upwards to make your choices. You have to listen carefully to the voice to make proper decisions in this game like "Yes" or "No". If you swipe to the left direction then, its "yes" and if you swipe to the right then its "no". In the screen, you will usually see a dark room with some light or no light at all. By playing this game, I finally understood that without a proper visual content, I can't enjoy the game that much. On top of that, some conversations are done with foreign accent like French accent which gave me more challenge in understanding the content and scenario of the game.

Sadly, this game is not free to play. You need to purchase the game before you can play even a full single chapter. I found the tutorial to be totally boring. I felt like being brainwashed due to the tone and delivery of the speech. Yes, this game is very unique and quite a new concept but I think that it not that much engaging for a regular gamer. But there are a lot of episodes in this game and some may catch your interest in this game.

Overall, this game surely was not much of a fun experience for me and personally, I don't recommend this game to gamers like me who is more into the visually stimulating games. None the less, it can be quite fun for some players and if you find it interesting then let me know your opinions and feedbacks in the comments section. Cheers!
