Dark Arcana: The Carnival

I would not say this was Artifex Mundi’s best work, but it’s an enjoyable game with good atmosphere and a nice story, worth adding to the collection, particularly for those of you, like me, on a mission to get every game they’ve made.

Audio and visuals were on the higher end of the scale and set the scene well.

It's exceptionally easy, so I do recommend playing it on highest difficulty if you want to use your brain in any capacity... but of course if we wanted to use our brains we wouldn't be playing these kinds of games...

While, as they all are, it is overpriced, on sale this can be a relaxing few hours of fun with simple, but not boring gameplay and a better-than-average story.

The sound design is immersive, using soft ambient noises and subtle cues to heighten tension without becoming overbearing.
