The low-key FMV revival continues right now in Dark Nights With Poe And Munro, a brand new FMV journey from the gang behind vid ’em ups The Infectious Madness Of Doctor Dekker and The Shapeshifting Detective. I heard good issues about Doctor Dekker particularly. Dark Nights additionally sounds attention-grabbing for selecting a topic that matches nicely with the ‘earnest but unavoidably janky and cheesy’ nature of FMV games: native radio. Poe and Munro host a radio present about spooky mysteries, see.
That’s kinda commonplace FMV cheese, proper? Except! It matches completely as a result of that’s precisely the type of radio present they host, with that robust ‘over-dramatic mystery podcast’ vibe. Very intelligent. Dark Nights has six episodes targeted on totally different spookies, together with a ghost and a demonic wish-granting portray.
D’Avekki Studios launched Poe and Munro earlier than, and so do state for continuiheads that Dark Nights is about earlier than The Shapeshifting Detective.
Dark Nights With Poe And Munro is out now on Steam for Windows and Mac. A 10% launch low cost brings it right down to £8.99/€9.71/$11.69 till Tuesday the 26th. A bundle with Doctor Dekker solely prices an additional £2.
Our former John (RPS in peace) appeared fairly impressed by D’Avekki Studios in his The Infectious Madness Of Doctor Dekker review. He referred to as it “incredibly ambitious” and was drawn into its horror, although discovered its dialog system of typing in textual content fairly clunky. But he concluded, “The characters all strongly stick with me after finishing, and I think that’s probably more important than anything else.” Sounds like time for me to purchase in.
