Darkest Fear
When I first saw this game a couple of years back on a BREW device (yes, believe it), I thought it was one of the best games you could hope to play on mobile. Back then, Darkest Fear by Finnish developer, Rovio Mobile, had a light, yet compelling story, the graphics were excellent and added to the overall horror-survival motif, and the puzzles were pretty challenging. But the question is: does it translate well to the iPhone? Well, since FISHLABS was able to take what I thought was THE best game on mobile in Galaxy On Fire 5-6 years ago and bring a perfect translation with some added bells and whistles to the iPhone, then there should be no doubt that Rovio Mobile can do the same… And they did! The technical capabilities of the iPhone obviously improve the graphics of the game, which makes an already eerie game even more eerie as the shading for the shadows perfectly adds to the heart-thumping excitement. On top of all that, considering it is set in a hospital, the glow of the lights reminds one of The Shining or even Saw. As one colleague put it years ago, “It’s one of the scariest mobile games I’ve played because of the sheer anticipation alone.” It’s true now on the iPhone as it was back then. Check it out! Price: $3.99.
