Halloween is coming, and the developer of Lethal Company has recently released his new horror game. And it will immerse you in a unique universe that will appeal to your imagination.

Lethal Company was a huge success when it was released in 2023. And recently, its developer unveiled a new free horror game on Steam, which is a good deal for Halloween.

Named Welcome To The Dark Place, this game developed by Zeekerss was released on the platform on October 25, and already has a large number of positive reviews. The reasons for this success are both in the plot of the game and in its development.

It has to be said that this developer had already made his mark on Roblox by creating a few horror games before embarking on this new project. And after starting its development in 2017, it was then taken over in 2019, before its release this year.

However, don't expect to see the monsters and screamers that are present in games of this type. Welcome To The Dark Place is essentially based on text and sound, and appeals to the imagination of players.

A simple but effective gameplay 

This game puts players in the skin of a character who is trapped in a nightmare. Several stages must be completed, and important decisions must be made fairly quickly. But be careful, because every mistake is punitive.

Thus, while the gameplay is simple, it is reminiscent of many games of the same type. And needless to say that by playing on the imagination of the players, it accentuates fear.

But even though it's highly rated on Steam, with over 89% positive reviews, you need to like text-based games, otherwise you might have a bad experience. And some bugs may occur during your gameplay, preventing you from completing your adventure.
