Dark Place 5

Author: Taivo Maripuu
Release Date: April 18 2005
Story: You start off in an abandoned (and presumably haunted)amusement park. The object is to find a button which opens a door that allows access to a portion of the park in which you must find another button to allow access to another part of the park. You continue to do this until you reach the end where it climaxes in a fight with a battle lord.

A fairly large map with a simple layout that allows for some non-linear lateral movement. Of course you can only get so far before you must discover where the button is and which door it opens before you can move on. There’s some decent architecture and the detailing and sprite work is pretty good. The ambiance is supposed to be “scary” and this is accomplished by making the map setting during the evening time so the majority of the map is dim and shaded, the use of “run down” old abandoned textures for the buildings, and also with the use of sound effects in certain areas.
