Evaluation

Left in the Dark: No One on Board is a hidden-object puzzle-adventure game published by Artifex Mundi that released on October 2, 2014. It is a self-contained, story-driven game with no DLC, no season pass, and no post-launch content updates. The store description presents the game as a complete narrative experience with a defined set of features and no mention of ongoing content. Notably, the developer news feed (50 posts scanned) contains zero posts relevant to this game — all 10 returned posts are about an entirely different title, *Irony Curtain: From Matryoshka with Love*, posted in 2018–2019. This strongly indicates that Moonrise Interactive/Artifex Mundi have not communicated anything about Left in the Dark since its launch. The game launched as a finished product with no post-launch content cycle, and no DLC or updates have ever been announced or released for it.

About this game

Left in the Dark: No One on Board is a hidden-object puzzle-adventure game with a grim, mysterious ambiance and plenty of scares!
Private Detective knew this case was going to be strange as soon as she read the letter from the Mayor of Port Providence, in which he asked her to board a ship that went lost at sea years ago, then recently reappeared with no sign of the crew or cargo.
Detective is at a loss as to what happened to the vessel, even after examining all of the evidence. She knows there is more to this case than the Mayor is letting on. The press is abuzz with talk of a curse. And, after encountering a hooded figure with a hook on his hand, on a supposedly abandoned ship, she begins to believe it.
Detective is a rational woman, not prone to believing in ghost stories or fables. But this case is unlike anything she has ever seen. What connects the ship’s disappearance with Devil’s Island, and a local family’s unsolved murder? Will she find the allies she needs to break the Traveler’s Curse?
