You have no idea who you are, where you are or how you got here - it's up to you to figure it out! For horror game fans seeking out that ultimate fix, 'Dark Fear' delivers an immersive, frightening experience wrapped in a cinematic soundtrack and a dark, twisted storyline written by an ex-film industry professional.

Boring
Way too much grinding. The game would be about 5 minutes long if you didn’t have to stop and do hunting constantly.
United StatesA rare find - don’t let it pass
I originally bought this for my desktop, never realizing it was available on the iPad. The desktop was sooo much fun I decided to check and VOILA! I can not play this anywhere with my iPad. It’s dark/creepy with a really good story/plot to keep you interested. The gameplay is simple, but still engaging and the graphics are so retro & cool. I’ve paid way more for games that were not 1/2 as good, snatch this one up if you can.
United StatesSo much fun!
My wife and I stayed up late last night playing this game. Definitely the most underrated app on the App Store. I hope the developers get the recognition they deserve for this throwback classic.
United Statesso fun
pls make more!
United StatesJust
what Ive been searching for!! C64ish horror adventurers with slight RPG elements. So good. Really wish there were more games like this for iOS!
United StatesReally enjoyed this one.
Basically a old school adventure game with modern elements. I enjoyed upgrading my armor and weapons, it did get slightly boring grinding for more gold but the game sets u up with plenty of gold from just fights.
United StatesUnexpected greatness!
This game is incredible. I read the reviews and wondered why they were praising this relatively unknown game so much. Figured it was worth a try and I was not disappointed! The soundtrack is gorgeous, there are legitimate jump scares and creepy characters/landscapes. The puzzles are relatively easy but the storyline keeps you interested and engaged. I can not recommend this game more highly if you love adventure games.
