Product Description:
Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder which is the first of a series of three games, is a panoramic first person 3D adventure/horror thriller game which takes place in an imaginary "Lovecraftian" place called Wellsmoth. The story of the game was written with the help of the impressions of the great writer H.P. Lovecraft's works. So players will encounter a dark and frightening world to interact with, and sinister characters to speak with or beware of. Thus, the game's environment and characters were designed appropriately for the series' main objective which is to give fear, psychological pressure and most important of all, a Lovecraftian feeling to the gamer. This Lovecraftian environment is enriched with a deep and immersing story, cinematics and music.
The Earth holds many secrets within, some of them are willing and others not. If one seeks and searches thoroughly, they can find much more than expected. These may be glorious, wondrous and marvelous but it has to be kept in mind that there are things which were not, which are not and which shall not be good for mankind. And, even if the end will be destruction, sometimes it is good to be unaware of it. It was a cold November day of the year 2011 when our protagonist, police detective Howard E. Loreid, was given a new case in which he had to find a fugitive murder suspect. A murder suspect he always wanted to get acquainted with; Loath Nolder. And this case would change his life into something that could not be described with our inadequate words. If you ask him, he would say that he probably is a lucid dreamer or has a sleep disorder like sleep paralysis or night terror. But it is sometimes only a thin line between the waking world and the dream world...
Customer Reviews:
 definitely worth playing, 2008-11-23
In the miasma of mediocre adventure games DW stands out as a well designed, creepy game. I took one star off because the latter part of the game has pathfinding problems and you will need a walkthrough to move on in the game. However good graphics, voiceovers and a solid story will make you want to finish the game. Very well done!
