    Dark and Deep has some good ideas and some of the environments are well-designed, but movement feels clunky at times.

    Dark and Deep is an enjoyable and eerie experience at the beginning that suffers from over-exposure to the otherwise unnerving monster, turning it from a horror experience into a puzzle walking simulator.

    A thrilling excursion into a world outside our reality has a slightly bitter flavor of boredom setting in too soon.

    Dark and Deep produces an eerily stylish darkness thanks to the art direction of Gustave Doré and threads of narrative that threaten an engaging tale. Unfortunately, it becomes consumed in its own deep dark, owing to labourious mechanics, disjointed pacing and frustrating puzzles. There’s a glimmer of light in this heart of darkness, but you’ll struggle to find it.
