The DEEP DARK
A Children's Story -- kind of.

There is this big old house in the woods, and you get to explore it.

True Story: One Deep Dark night in November, back when I was in the third grade, my dad made up a story for my younger brother and I, about a Deep Dark house. This came about while my brother and I, sat in the back seat of the station wagon, waiting for my mother to come out of the mall. Oh, and just so you know, my dad is a diagnosed sociopath. :)

This is my rendition of the story my father has long since forgotten.

In the Deep Dark woods, was --









This is a fairly simple maze game. Once you see all the rooms, the last room becomes accessible and in it is a surprise.

Fair Warning!
  • While there is a map, nothing is marked on it. :)
  • The room images are from all different angles so it's difficult to tell where you're going -- or where you've been.
  • Some rooms have 2 or more doors.
    -- You will need to go through them All to get to the last room.
  • Click on the Box to get the final, final scene.


The game contains:
933 words, 28 menus, 50 images, and 14 screens.
-- Despite the short (and repetitive) word-count, the game takes 'a while' to go through.

Note:
-- This is an actual house in Norwalk, Connecticut. The images came from the 'The Library of Congress - Online Archive,' and are public domain. In case you'd like to visit the house, it has been fully renovated and is now operating as the Lockwood Matthews Mansion Museum.

Enjoy!

The background images are amazing as always with great style .. and it being real is a nice touch.

Still, playing this is repetitive and a little bit exhausting .. I cannot see the allure in exploring something which is only described as deep dark.

Thank you! However, you're right in that the text is a bit boring. (It's actually a lot more fun if you recite the story out loud.) Truthfully, the game was an experiment to see if I could make (read: Code) a maze game out of a bunch of photos.

Actually, almost all of my little games are experiments to build up experience for making a bigger game. What bigger game...? I haven't decided yet. ;)
