Beyond the Darkness is a first person horror / adventure game with puzzle elements. You play as Nicholas Wade who is living in a mansion with fiancée Julia. She inherited the mansion from her father. The small town they live in, Allan’s Creek, has it’s own dark secrets but that’s solely based on conspiracies. One night Nicholas wakes up and something feels off. The noises that woke him up were definitely not made by Julia, but what was it? Is there someone else in the mansion? And where is Julia anyway? Nicholas is off to investigate and it doesn’t take him long to find out something is very wrong. After opening a few doors he realizes there’s no going back. The only way out is through the darkness. Beyond the Darkness does not rely on blood & gore but is being built on atmosphere, tension, and the feeling that something could be out there in the dark.

We have been working very hard on the basics in recent months, but what have we actually been doing?

Posted by on

At this moment we're still working on the basics. We keep getting more ideas and finding more elements in the game which we can improve. So what have we been working on besides many bug fixes and little tweaks?

Lantern
The lantern now has completely new animations, including an animation to check your current oil level.

Lights and candles
As you are able to see in one of our latest screenshots, the lights/candles have been improved. This also included the new light which comes with the lantern. The whole scene is a lot darker right now. Most lights also work on a random system, so each time you play the level different lights will be on/off.

Interaction
We have made many animations for all kinds of drawers which you are able to open and close. We also tweaked the way you now open/close doors.

Locks
We have also worked on locks. Some drawers might be closed and you will need to unlock it yourself. More on this in an upcoming video.
