Pitch Black: A Detective’s Demise is an Intriguing Audio Adventure

Quite often we’ll start a news story telling you how good a game looks. We can’t really do that with Pitch Black: A Detective’s Demise, because it’s entirely based on audio. You’re listening to the experience, spotting clues and trying to figure out what’s going on.

Set in the not-too-distant future, the game is a grimy noir that sees you playing a detective. You’ll trawl through the worst locations in District 5, encountering deadly creatures and trying to find “her”, the object of your investigation.

You’ll have some powerful technology at your disposal, but you’re going to have to have your ears wide open if you want to survive. Can you open your ears? We don’t know, we’re clutching at audio straws here.

Pitch Black: A Detective’s Demise does things differently, and that’s definitely something we love to champion here. This is only the first episode of the game, so hopefully there’ll be more on the way as well.

Click here and you can download Pitch Black: A Detective’s Demise from the Google Play Store. The game will set you back $3.99, but we reckon that’s a fair price for something that’s pushing the boundaries of what mobile gaming can be.
