Our take on PhobLack
The setting presents a crashed-plane survival premise that could suggest a broad rescue journey, but the estimated play time is about 3 hours. The experience is confined to a dark, enclosed mansion and ruin.
What is PhobLack?
PhobLack is a first-person horror adventure set in a dark, enclosed mansion that has become a haunted ruin.
After a plane crash in the mountainous region of America in 1980, the only survivor must restore communication with the outside world and contact a rescue team. The game includes exploration, mapping, paranormal phenomena, and unexplained mechanisms. A flashlight offers adjustable light intensity and may flicker. Fear reduces sanity, while the game advises avoiding darkness and remaining calm. Brightness can be adjusted in the settings. Keys and similar items are used automatically at doors when the corresponding control is pressed. The estimated play time is about 3 hours.
