“Forgotten in the Dark” is a third-person survival thriller game, featuring a 2D isometric view, that puts players in the role of John, a medical student searching for answers in the abandoned wing of an old university hospital. The dark environment hides terrifying secrets, triggering a journey of survival and discovery.

The game proposes an environment where efficient resource management is crucial for survival, with the flashlight's limited battery and stamina bar challenging the player to balance their use strategically. The hide and run mechanic intensifies the experience, encouraging thoughtful choices to seek refuge.

Thank you for playing “Forgotten in the Dark”. I hope you have a good experience!

Hello! Thank you for the gameplay in Forgotten in the Dark. I'd like to apologize for the static noise in the final scene. This was a bug that came up in the final stages of testing after fixing another bug, so it went unnoticed. This and other bugs have already been fixed yesterday (a problem with the exit door and misplaced shadows), so there is no longer a problem with static sound (at the moment haha). The game has three different ending scenes, so all you're missing is the ending where you collect all the items!

Adorei o jogo! Impressionante como ele consegue prender a atenção assim que começa e, apesar da proposta parecer simples, ele se mostrou bem desafiador. Parabéns aos desenvolvedores!
