# When the Darkness comes Summer DB entity ID: d9df4ad1\-fb20\-429e\-aabc\-b93b3d59b8b3 Steam App ID: 1021950 A Game Without Meaning\. A Game Nobody Should Play\. When the Darkness comes is a walking simulator whose glitchy and dark tale tries to illustrate the hardships of depression and anxiety through a variety of imaginary digital landscapes\. A clock, a piano and a girl\. What do they all mean? What is meaning, anyway? What has meaning? Do you have one? A path, a goal, something determined, pre\-determined? A light to follow? Discover a world filled with loneliness and fear\. A world where despair breathes and hope dies\. A world about you, about us\. A world about humanity and about life\. Before Starting This Experience is NOT for everyone\. This Experience explores themes such as depression, anxiety, verbal abuse, manipulative control, and suicide \. This game could also potentially trigger epilepsy attacks\. Seriously, do NOT play this Experience if you believe this might affect you in any way\. The first Arc should take about one hour to complete\. About the Experience This was the culmination of a self exploration into my own psyche\. If it can help anyone else explore their own I am thankful for that, and if the game isn't to your liking I appreciate you taking the time to try it anyway\. I won't be updating it anymore \(safe for major bugs\) since it was simply an outlet for my own creativity but enjoy it as it is\. Controls Movement: WASD or arrow keys Interact: F Jump: Space Sprint: Shift There's a toggle to swap between AZERTY and QWERTY layouts in\-game\. This Experience might not be suitable for streaming audiences\. ## Game information - Type: game - Developer: Sirhaian - Publisher: Sirhaian - Release date: Mar 1, 2019 - Coming soon: false - Free to play: true - Parent Steam app: Not collected - Genres: Adventure, Free To Play, Indie - Categories: Single\-player, Steam Achievements, Family Sharing - Platforms: windows - Website: Not collected - Screenshots: https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_9cb39c359a4b54734ebddcd6a74bf61ba4894906\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_cb863876c2fe2811c25bee853f4fd71c34495db4\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_f7f245be60c9ab6fadc51802f158a920318d8bb2\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_d1ca7cdf07b443bf014e15ac9a733e91dfd945c5\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_4c9c210a76ea20c0834636fe801e450d172c4128\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_407dcb3e56ee31fc0afee9e96578749e13812ee3\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_63237495ff67cb041fec5819fce18d3c9d3a389a\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_688b6fa11898ca79706fabb38f7a824fc22ca7e7\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_496d75c6d78bfad8109db0d7e2a217b85515d36d\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_8d61be27b500587a4cc1b6c36b53daa00992314e\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_af10baa3c487215180171e31934823f88851ed0a\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_3a1253510d956fb613cef277fa37cf7ec352a64c\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726, https://shared\.akamai\.steamstatic\.com/store\_item\_assets/steam/apps/1021950/ss\_4bf2505991a303e347a4041981a806ef7b3756ac\.1920x1080\.jpg?t=1671305726 - Price: Not collected - Price country: Not collected ## Observed metrics - Current players: 0 - Steam review count: 8426 - Steam positive reviews: 7776 - Steam negative reviews: 650 - Steam positive percentage: 92.28578210301448% - Summer DB rating: No native votes Review filters: \{"language":"all","review\_type":"all","purchase\_type":"all","filter\_offtopic\_activity":0\} ## Player history [Seven-day chart data as Markdown](/api/v1/entities/d9df4ad1-fb20-429e-aabc-b93b3d59b8b3/player-metrics?days=7&format=markdown) · [JSON](/api/v1/entities/d9df4ad1-fb20-429e-aabc-b93b3d59b8b3/player-metrics?days=7) Chart values are hourly observed maxima.
