This is a wonderful short game! Did not expect voice acting at all, let alone good VA. Of course, it's very P.T., and this game highlights the strengths of that core idea of guilt and ghosts that may just be in your head, albeit no less real. Very excited to see what's next from DarkMode!
This game had no right to be as scary as it was. This was an awesome experience. In case my thoughts in the video were messy, the atmosphere was amazing, your pacing in the story was executed perfectly, your scares had a great punch especially with the help of the setting. This game was one of, if not the best horror game I've played yet! Keep it up!
This is such a nice polished game, and the voice acting is the best I've seen in a while in an Indie Horror game. Gave a nice Victorian Gothic horror feel. Definitely recommend.
This game is awesome! Highly detailed, well made and the atmosphere is scary. Loved it all. ( copywrite material was caught by YouTube though.) Game here:

Game was very atmospheric, excellent graphics and voice acting. Lacked a little with the scares, but at least avoided the typical jump scares. Has great potential to be the next Layers of Fear.
Good game very decent scares could have added a jumpscare but other than that it was brilliant i loved the story that it had to it wonderful wish i could have made a video. Really creepy
So I know this will likely to remain a demo, but I did like it, even though i'm a bit dumb for not realising what the name of the game meant when I recorded it xD Anyhow, this is my take on this P.T. 1900-s stuff, hopy you'll enjoy watching certified idiot play it
Unfortunately, the video was flagged for copyright because of the song on the radio, haha. So there is about 30 seconds of silence where the music should have been.
Thanks for the experience! Also, the addition of voice acting was awesome.
Unfortunately we are no longer doing games together. If you would like to see my personal work then feel free to follow @PXLRN on twitter for updates on my game!
I thought this was great & I was legit tense & loved the atmosphere. The production value, sound design, voice acting, pretty much all of it was top notch.
(especially impressive since I have NOT found most PT-like games to come close to that original horrifying experience)
I played through the game and actually uploaded my gameplay to my channel. For being such a small team, this is incredibly impressive! The art, atmosphere, music, story, and voice-acting were all superb! I know that you all may have moved on to other products individually, but I truly hope that you make another game together. I loved how everything felt real, rather than just being a soulless hallway. Thank you for this, I hope to see more some day!
Thank you for your very kind comment! We appreciate you very much, maybe someday we'll get together again for a project. In the meantime feel free to follow our individual progress too :)
Currently working on a couple mobile games, one of which is a huge revamp of a previous work I called Slice Knight. It's on the website, I'm making a huge update with new chars, skins and tweaks to a bunch of game mechanics.
I just looked into Slice Knight, it actually looks quite fun. I hope it all goes well! Any ideas on time frames? Also, congratulations on getting here!
I adore the fact that you added sound for when someone climbs up the bed and walks off of it. Small detail that can be easily missed if you play the game properly (unlike me lol). Great game, great scares. Here is my playthrough of it!
Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid, it turned out pretty funny:
Advantages:
1. Very spooky! I liked the jumpscares and pacing. How you built up the suspense and the tension. Great job!
2. The visuals are awesome! I really liked admiring the environment, looking at paintings e.t.c. Btw Peter the Great - Russian tsar is a very nice choice) He is hella fab)
3. The sound design is cool. I didn't get what was that eating -my-brains-from-my-ear in the basement, but overall it sounded very demonic and out of this world.
Disadvantages (points for noting and further developing):
1. I would like to see a fricking HUGE monster running after the main character near the end of the game. Monster's roars were lit! Maybe not in this game, but I would be really glad to see your works with HUGE monsters.
2. I guess a little bit more work with environment would be nice (with its changing). I mean some not obvious changes are appreciated and spook a lot upon noticing. Like changing the faces on the paintings or statues.
3. The closet was promicing - use its potential. The door made you come in the room literally scratching the closet. If something would jump out at you and you have nowhere to back out (because of the door) - super scary!
Overall:
The game is awesome. Recommend checking it out a lot! Hope you will find some of my suggestions interesting and use it in your projects) or not - that is also fine) 5/5
This was really cool to play! Good job on setting the atmosphere. The art direction is well done. I would have appreciate a wee bit more light later in the game to see where to go.
Avarice is a beautiful, creepy, scary horror game that grabs hold of you and keeps you on your toes throughout the entire experience. You never know what's coming. This really is an amazing game that definitely won't go unnoticed.

Thanks! Glad to see people are still enjoying the game :)
The voice acting was perfect in every aspect, he attracts a lot of sympathy without feeling pitiful.
Thank you! I'll let him know you said that.
The game was good, I was really invested in it, hope for more games like this from the devs :) NB: Copyright was picked up by YouTube

Beautiful game with a great atmosphere. Really gets you attached to the story and the characters quicly.
Would love to possibly see this game evolve into more

The game spooked me out!

How can i remove the motion blur?
Hi, unfortunately this is not an option at the moment and will unlikely be in the future as we are no longer working on the project.
Very impressed by your game. I had goosebumps almost through the entire game. Would love to see more of your work.

Very good game. I had a problem with the lamp :'D
Thx for the game.
I don't think we are supposed to carry the lamp around. It wasn't really necessary anyway. It was fun trying to though.
