When the Darkness Comes is a surprisingly smart horror game that manages to blend in introspective narrative elements seamlessly.
"When the Darkness Comes" is a symbolic and introspective walking simulator that explores themes of fear, loneliness, and despair. Players navigate a stark world filled with philosophical musings, as they ponder questions about meaning, determination, and humanity. The game, inspired by the developer's personal struggles, aims to express complex emotions and provides an experience that is both thought-provoking and deeply personal, taking around 45 minutes to an hour to complete. However, its heavy themes and abstract nature may not appeal to all players.
