Dark Hope

Dark Hope is a first-person puzzle adventure set in a mysterious steampunk world. You wake alone in an abandoned research facility with no memory of how you arrived. The exit is gone, and something waits in the darkness. To escape, you must uncover what happened to the people who worked there and what their experiments were for.

Explore the facility

The interconnected facility contains dark corridors, mechanical laboratories, towering contraptions, cryptic symbols and strange experimental environments. Rifts of light cut through the corridors, while flickering lights and mysterious sounds contribute to an unsettling atmosphere. You search the surroundings for clues, including details that may seem insignificant at first.

Research notes, laboratory journals, books and scattered documents help you piece together the facility’s hidden story. The more you explore, the more questions emerge about the experiments and the events that led to the facility’s abandonment.

Solve environmental puzzles

The environment itself is the puzzle. You study mysterious devices, manipulate elaborate clockwork mechanisms, operate machinery and turn valves to solve interconnected challenges that rely on observation and logical thinking. You bring forgotten machinery back to life and experiment with the environment, connecting clues without constant guidance.
