About the Game

The Dark Gift is a horror game about Christmas and New Year.

Description:

You woke up in the basement of your home and don’t remember anything...

When you go up to the house, you see the Christmas decorations and garlands and remember that it is family holiday time and time to get ready for it, while your wife and son went out to the store to do some shopping...

Suddenly the doorbell sounded. Opening the door, you see that someone left you a gift box...

What's inside this mysterious box?!

What awaits you in the game:

  • Unusual graphic style in the style of old-school games. (VHS aesthetics).

  • A dark story that will keep you in suspense until the very end.

  • The New Year's holiday will turn into a real nightmare for the main character.

  • Realistic sound design that will give you goosebumps.

The average time to complete the game is 30-40 minutes.

Note:

  • There is no menu or any settings in the game except for changing the language...

You can exit the game by pressing ALT+F4 or by clicking on the painting in the starting room...
