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, 25+ 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

-90 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
