What is In A Dark Cellar?
In A Dark Cellar is a tense and atmospheric horror-adventure game. The protagonist is an electrician sent to the church in the middle of the night to fix some wiring. A seemingly straightforward task turns a little more sinister. Developed for the Newbies Game Jam 2024 (Halloween Edition), this one-person endeavor gives you eerie exploring, environmental puzzles, and an insidious creeper of a dread in a short-but-stays-in-your-memory experience.
How To Play
- Movement: WASD keys to move inside a shady old church.
- Looking Around: Use the mouse to pan the camera around.
- Interacting: Press E to interact with stuff. Use LMB for puzzles and menus.
- Sprinting: Hold on to Left Shift to move faster in escaping some tight moments.
- Jumping: Pressing Space will let you jump.
- Pause: Hit Esc to pause and cool yourself off.
Tips & Tricks
- Stay Alert – Clues are in the environment of the church. Always check.
- Save Stamina – Sprinting saps away your stamina. Only use it when you need to run really fast.
- Listen Carefully – There might be audio cues hinting at danger or hidden locations.
- Look Everywhere – Backtracking or noticing something small might be required to solve some puzzles.
