Play The Darkest Night - Part I Online

Creepy MS-DOS point-and-click where you poke around shadowy rooms, scribble clues, and realize too late that random scribble from an hour ago was the key. That kind of game.

Game Overview

Ah, The Darkest Night - Part I—one of those MS-DOS games that somehow slipped under the radar but absolutely shouldn’t have. You start off in this dimly lit, unsettling world where every click feels like you’re poking at something you shouldn’t. The puzzles? Not the kind you brute-force. You’ll actually need to scribble notes, second-guess yourself, and maybe even backtrack when you realize that weird symbol three screens back was actually important.

The atmosphere is thick enough to cut with a knife—gloomy, tense, and weirdly immersive for something running on 16-color graphics. If you’ve ever gotten lost in Shadowgate or loved the slow-burn dread of The Colonel’s Bequest, this’ll hook you fast. Just be ready for that classic ’90s adventure game logic—sometimes the solution is more about vibes than straight answers. And yeah, you might need a walkthrough once or twice, but the payoff’s worth it.

Perfect for when you want something short, moody, and unapologetically old-school. Just don’t play it with the lights off.

Each game uses different controls, most DOS games use the keyboard arrows. Some will use the mouse , "Alt" ,"Enter" and "Space bar".
