Darkness Within 1: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder Steam CD Key
Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder by the Turkish studio Zoetrope Interactive is a thriller in which we see the world from the first person perspective. The authors drew the greatest inspiration from the works of H.P. Lovecraft, so it's no wonder that the game is kept in a heavy, dark and full of horror atmosphere. In Pursuit of Loath Nolder is the first part of the series planned for three installments.
The story begins in November 2011, in the Lovecraftian town of Hilltown. The main character of the game is a police detective Howard E. Loreid, who is tasked with unraveling the murder of Clark Field, an influential man who is fascinated by magic and the occult. The suspect is a certain Loath Nolder, a once successful private investigator. Nolder's past is full of mysterious events - one day Loath severed all ties with family and friends and for five years disappeared in the darkest corners of Africa. Exactly what he did there is unknown, but the experience he gained there completely changed him. When he returned from his mysterious journeys, however, he agreed to accept the task of finding Clark Field. The effect, however, was far from what was expected - the detective himself ended up being a murder suspect.
The plot looks quite encouraging, and this is not the only argument that the game's creators have at their disposal. We are dealing with a large number of classic elements for adventure games and detective games, but there are several novelties, and a large caliber of them. When it comes to the first ones, they undoubtedly include the point & click interface with a choice of options such as pick up, put away, open or use. During the game, the atmosphere of mystery and danger lurks just around the corner. Every step we come across references to Lovecraft, Necronomicon and Abdul al Hazred. The main character moves through locations such as dark and damp underground passages, strange ruins, mysterious mansions and old cemeteries. Permanent elements are the ubiquitous shadows and fog, and everything is sprinkled with chilling music and sound effects.
When it comes to novelties, the most important are two. One is related to the main character's perception of the world. And so, at the moment when the detective gets particularly agitated, the way of observing the surroundings will change. For example, when Howard gets scared, the field of view will shift rapidly, blurring the image, as if the protagonist were making quick movements of his head in different directions.
The way new information is provided and tips are obtained has also been treated in a quite unique way. Well, in Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder, information can be used just like items. This means that the right combination of two clues will lead to the acquisition of a new one. Similarly, you can get hints from people you meet or from elements of the environment.
