Player, in Discomfort, November 27, 2020by Gayla (Ann Arbor, MI) This is a well-crafted game, but I did not like it. It made me feel claustrophic and antsy and miserable. Maybe that's a tribute to Plotkin's ability to set a scene! After all, the protagonist here isn't super-enjoying his/her life when the game begins. But I had to push myself to finish it and I didn't particularly care about getting the "right" ending if only I could escape that awful cave. Was this review helpful to you?

Cool Take on Hunt the Wumpus, August 24, 2019I prefer this one to Shade. The illusion of choice is much stronger. I didn't mind the death mechanic/cycle because it gave gravity to your choices. The puzzles are fun but a little easy. The excellent writing ties the whole experience together. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

A claustrophobic thriller game with great pacing., February 3, 2016Hunter, in Darkness has some of the best pacing of any IF game out there. You are hunting, in the darkness, and you must follow your prey through a cave. Things quickly go from bad to worse, and your injuries and fears come to the front. Was this review helpful to you?

Play this game., September 9, 2011by calindreams (Birmingham, England) I've been pot-holing and had a horrendous time. Thankyou Andrew Plotkin for helping relive my nightmare from the safety of my own home. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

damp, dark, dank, and dangerous..., November 28, 2010by The Year Is Yesterday (California) I died more times than I can count playing Hunter, in Darkness, but I loved every second of it. In a masochistic sort of way, perhaps. This is one of the most claustrophobic, terror-inducing titles I've encountered - an achievement, considering it's based on (Spoiler - click to show)Hunt The Wumpus. The puzzles all come logically, and even better, the various deaths arrive with a brutal, no-nonsense finality that encourages you to try a different tack, rather than frustrating you with that feeling of being so close and so far. This is a serious story, not of adventure, but of survival, unsympathetic and unadulterated. Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | Add a comment

Eerie and Satisfying, January 26, 2009by Rose (New Zealand) Woah. This game takes me back to the first time I played Adventure; I was so terrified when I reached the dark section that I rushed out immediately and refused to explore further until the next day. This game has a similar feel: you don't want to progress for fear of what you might find, but feel compelled to progress nonetheless. Was this review helpful to you?

Immersive, but frustrating., October 25, 2007I didn't like the beginning of Spider&Web(and gave up rapidly), but I can say I liked "Hunter, in Darkness" right from the start... Was this review helpful to you? Yes No Remove vote | View comments (1) - Add comment
