Is Darkilson worth it for you?
We tell you who should skip it, too.
Play it if you…
Good fit- Casual horror players who want an escape challenge built around avoiding creatures
- Players who enjoy collecting items while navigating a confined setting
- Players interested in managing a consumable that can trigger pursuit
Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want combat-focused encounters rather than avoiding creatures
- Players who prefer a forgiving escape loop, since becoming soft brings a creature after BA Bear
- Players looking for a broad range of systems beyond evasion, collecting items, and pill use
Our take on Darkilson
The likely sticking point is the pill system: using pills unwisely can make BA Bear soft, triggering pursuit by a creature. Players who do not want a resource choice tied directly to being chased may hit that wall early.
What is Darkilson?
BA Bear is trapped in an asylum under a curse and must find a way out while avoiding the creatures inside.
The journey involves collecting important items and choosing when to use pills. The description warns that using the pills carelessly can make BA Bear “soft,” after which a creature will come after him. Escape, creature avoidance, item collection, and pill use are the stated gameplay elements.
How Darkilson plays
- 01Creature evasion
- Avoid the deadly creatures while trying to leave the asylum.
- 02Item collection
- Gather important objects along the escape route.
- 03Pill management
- Pill use affects whether BA Bear becomes soft and draws pursuit.
