DarkPlace

DarkPlace is a simple illustration of the top 10 ways that developers make zombie videogames "work." DarkPlace is instant to learn and easy to play.

DarkPlace also represents one of my experiments to craft a quick gameplay experience driven only by the player's enjoyment of the basic activity - free from the artificial gameplay motivations of score, powerups, upgrades, unlockables, or plot revelations. I would rather play something that's inherently amusing for a few minutes than spend days repeating menial tasks just to earn achievement points, level up a character, or achieve a high score... Was the experiment a success? Try and see for yourself!

That's what I'm talking about.

Great concept, with the flashlight and all, with graphics, this game would be perfect.

It's pretty hard though.

Good experiment

Okay game, but it needs more work, to get it addictive. Its too simple, I think, if you added: Lifes, Killcount and a highscore, it would be much more funny!
Great sound anyway!

A really good concept!

Needs work though...

Also great sound FX :)

Fun.

Ture, it's fun and can be a bit addictive, but it dosn't have much variation. But it's still fun.

Amazing!

That's unbelievaBly cool!
