Hello everyone!
Thank you all for your continued support and interest in Darkphobia. We're excited to share that our atmospheric horror puzzle game is participating in Steam Next Fest, and the demo is now available to download!
We invite you to experience a puzzle adventure filled with light, darkness, and childhood fears.
In the demo, you'll play as a child who is afraid of the dark. Before going to bed, you must travel through every room in the house, turn off all the lights, and safely make your way back to your bed.
If you enjoy games like this, we'd greatly appreciate it if you could add Darkphobia to your Steam Wishlist!
The demo features Chapter 1 of the game, consisting of 8 levels with an estimated playtime of around 30 minutes.
Players explore the house from a third-person, top-down perspective, observing room layouts and using various light sources and environmental mechanics to plan safe routes through the darkness.
As you progress through the demo, you'll gradually encounter new mechanics and puzzle elements.
Standard Lights
Timed Lights (automatically turn off after a short period)
Rotatable Lights
Multiple Switches Controlling the Same Light
Special Light Source: Microwave Light with a Limited Duration
Standard Doors
Blocked Doors (must be opened from the opposite side)
Light-Passing Windows (allow light through but cannot be crossed)
Openable Curtains
Use these tools and mechanics wisely to create a safe path through the darkness.
The demo also introduces a brand-new collectible system.
Each level contains a special collectible waiting to be discovered. These collectibles aren't just optional secrets—they may reveal additional information about the world, story, and mysteries hidden within Darkphobia.
Be sure to inspect them carefully if you find one!
The demo is only the beginning of Darkphobia's journey.
The full version is currently planned to include:
4 Chapters，35 Levels
More Environmental Mechanics
More Complex Multi-Room Layouts
More Challenging Puzzle Combinations
Multi-Character Puzzle Gameplay
As the game progresses, different mechanics will begin to interact and combine in increasingly complex ways, creating deeper and more varied puzzle-solving experiences.
Thank you again for your support, and we hope you enjoy your time with the Darkphobia demo!
