The Dark Path to the Black Tower

About this game

"The Dark Path to the Black Tower" brings the 'spot the difference' Anomaly Horror format to a dark Medieval Fantasy setting, filled with demons, witches, and a whole host of other evil-doers. Traverse a haunted forest and discover the fate of three NPC's, each with their own story and own set of anomalies.

            

GAMEPLAY:

-Traverse a looping trail of woodland. If everything looks normal, proceed onwards. But, if you spot something that doesn't look right, turn back and exit the way you entered...

STORY:

-Choose whose fate to witness: will it be that of the Knight, the Leper or the Father? Each choice comes with its own selection of anomalies, 15 of which are unique to that character. So you'll have to play through every scenario to see everything!

MORE:

-Meet strangers along the way - some friendly, others hostile

-60+ anomalies in total! A mix of subtle, obvious and hostile anomalies

-Approximately 20-30 minutes playtime per NPC scenario (60-90 minutes total)

-Playable entirely via the keyboard, one-handed. No mouse required!

-Accessibility settings for those who experience motion sickness
