Hi, I played the game and got to the fourth music box part, where you have to enter the command into the game to move forward. The problem is that it won't let me do it, the text doesn't appear at the top of the screen. I do not know what I have to do.
Hmm, that's strange. I do know that Windows Explorer's built-in zip viewer can be buggy sometimes. If you haven't already you can try using a software called WinRAR or 7-Zip to unzip the game files that way. Make sure you are on a 64-bit operating system as well as 32-bit isn't supported.
i played the game for 10 minutes, got scared, closed the game, suddenly after rougly 15 minutes of watching youtube, abient music started playing and white noise blasted into my ears, making me shit my pants, cant tell if it was the game actually fucking with me or a bug or something but i higly recommend the experience, never been more scared in my life.
I feel incredibly late to the party here- Just heard about this game after recently finishing IMSCARED and am super hyped to play it! Will definitely be sharing my thoughts below once I complete this
This has a couple reset bugs, including dying on the Nightmare boss fight and the part right before the meat hooks. Replaying the game is very annoying.
You gave me such a scare.... I had to delete the game cause the "hahaha" program wouldn't stop but I finally figured it out and after a restart everything went back to normal. The only time I'm ever gonna download that game is on a virtual machine. Sorry but this game is not for me.
Nope, My Place including the special edition for that are separate. Markiplier's encounter you've mentioned was actually an easter egg that can be found in both paid and free versions of the game.
hi, im currious now, i see the video from markiplier and im a bit confused. why the relation to the darkwing site and why does it shows a popup abbout their bluewing stuff? im realy curious... are you the owner from this site?
Were you inspired by "IMSCARED" when making "A Dark Place"? You know, there are a lot of similarities between your game and that one, other than the fact that they both make us shit our pants with the meta-horror experience HAHA. Great game, nonetheless!
this game looks like game, me play game, virus infect !!! NO . none virus . game not virus . people say virus but no virus . but wallpaper is pciture of pregnant duck whar to i do
It shouldn't matter too much unless your performance appears low or the textures aren't the best looking. But if you need to, you can go back and alter the settings to your desired choice to even out the performance and visuals.
A pop up asked to open a vps file from the game,and when i opened it my entire screen turned blue and the i love watching you scene played. The screen stayed blue and i can't see my desktop.i can control alt delete to go into task manager but nothing from the game is running. i can alt tab into the things i already launched which are Discord and Steam. Rebooting my pc does not fix it.
Never heard of that happening before, can you produce a screenshot that demonstrates exactly what is happening? Computers specs including your Windows version would also be very helpful as well. I will run tests inside my virtual environment to see if this problem is reproducible. For common solutions on how to fix this, you can try opening cmd.exe as administrator and running sfc /scannow to scan for any corrupted files. If that doesn't solve the issue, then your best option here is to restore your system to a recent restore point. Usually Windows automatically creates these restore points when any updates are made to Windows. Going back to a previous restore point won't affect any of your personal files but may affect your apps or drivers depending on how recent the restore point was created. You can find more information about restore points here: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/recovery-options-in-windows-31ce2444...
It's a false alarm due to some of the game files using crucial windows features. In your antivirus, there should be an exclusion option in which you can select the game's folder to fix the interruption popups. The only thing that this game changes is the wallpaper and a one time logoff event. If you don't want the logoff event to occur, you can disable it by going into "A Dark Place/Data" and deleting "SlientNightmare.bat".
Once you stop playing, the background scare moments should stop as well as they use a timer system that closes them eventually. These also only occur if the game is being played. There is one known bug where sometimes the laughing sound system won't close when programmed to if you collect a music box. In task manager you can manually close it by finding and terminating the process called "Microsoft ® Windows Based Script Host" or "wscript.exe" for short, logging out and logging back in should close it as well.
The streamer/video friendly version removes the one time log off event which is known to cause the lose of some recordings. The special edition also removes this event as well for people that want to do recordings of the game without any worries.
hello i have a problem with the game im in chapter 3 and im in the place where the skull is following you and you need to turn back but when im turning back the skull gets me no matter what i do i watched a lets play and the guy that i watch moved faster does someone has an answer why im slower
This could be due to framerates being too low which can give less control during this scene. Try setting the resolution and graphics to the lowest for maximum speed and control during this part. Then try and sneak up to the invisible wall and immediately turn back and sprint back from where you came. After you escape, you may change your resolution and settings back up to where they were.
it still didnt work i also did reinstaled the game but still the skull is faster when i urn back and run and i also put the screen resolution and the graphics to the lowest but i think the problem has to do with my laptop
Since it's actually not possible to reset at this point without the main menu screen. You would have to use the second reset solution by removing the Unity Player Prefs file that the game generates. You can do this by opening up Registry Editor from your windows search. After it's opened, you can find the path to the A Dark Place save file by going under HKEY_CURRENT_USER/SOFTWARE/XerStudios/A Dark Place. Then on the right hand side you'll see something called "keyOldLevelToLoad" simply right click on it and click delete as this is automatically recreated by the game when you begin playing again. Then choose yes and the save file shall reset back to the very beginning. Hope this helps!
i aprieciate that you still answer questons even though the game is about 3 years old. also the game is pretty fun and innovativ even though i dont really play/watch horror. i still really enjoyd it (sorry for the bad spelling if it did hapend im not really good in writing english messanges)
Yes there is, the special edition comes with extra features and content that the standard doesn't have. It includes free roam noclip mode, speedrun mode, allows you to play old test levels, allows you to choose over 100 levels to play, access to all secrets in the game including the unused ones, access to the Darker Places Album soundtrack with 70 music total, access to the A Dark Place 2 Sneak Peek preview, and A Dark Place + My Place wallpapers and a little thank you note in the readme file. This is used to support my newer projects in the making.
First of all all of your games are pretty awesome!
I have bought the special edition of A Dark Place and My Place. And I loved both experiences.
In my opinion My Place was more interesting because of the bossfights. I really liked them, especially those with Dark and Nightmare. ADP wasnt as interesting as My Place but overall also a crazy experience!
I really liked the moment with the webcam and the one with the activation code.

this is literally my favorite game, and in case you're afraid it is 100% safe

have you found out how to type in the command yet
i love this 10/10 you need to make more
it doesn't let me extract the files... It says I don't have permission.. which is weird because i have one account on my pc.
Hmm, that's strange. I do know that Windows Explorer's built-in zip viewer can be buggy sometimes. If you haven't already you can try using a software called WinRAR or 7-Zip to unzip the game files that way. Make sure you are on a 64-bit operating system as well as 32-bit isn't supported.
I'm on a 64 bit OS, and I've had WinRAR for a while.
Hey, I have a question, sometimes it tries to do some processes but my computer stops them, even with my antivirus off. Twice it said something like:
How do I stop my PC from preventing it?
i played the game for 10 minutes, got scared, closed the game, suddenly after rougly 15 minutes of watching youtube, abient music started playing and white noise blasted into my ears, making me shit my pants, cant tell if it was the game actually fucking with me or a bug or something but i higly recommend the experience, never been more scared in my life.
Failed - Forbidden, Pls help
So I'm playing through the game and made it to chapter 4 but when I go to the library in area 2 the key doesn't spawn on the chair.
I feel incredibly late to the party here-
Just heard about this game after recently finishing IMSCARED and am super hyped to play it! Will definitely be sharing my thoughts below once I complete this
i cant express how much i love this game, it is one of my favorite games ever literally
what is the difference from the normal version and the video friendly version
i think the video friendly is epilepsy free
Windows shutdown free*
This has a couple reset bugs, including dying on the Nightmare boss fight and the part right before the meat hooks. Replaying the game is very annoying.

game is very goooooooooooooooooooooood
no but it can do things that viruses can do, its saf
Does a dark place special edition include my place?, because when I saw Mark play it my place loaded.
Nope, My Place including the special edition for that are separate. Markiplier's encounter you've mentioned was actually an easter egg that can be found in both paid and free versions of the game.
How could you possibly make a masterpiece like this. Also, can I ask how did you make game change your desktop wallpaper?
hi, im currious now, i see the video from markiplier and im a bit confused. why the relation to the darkwing site and why does it shows a popup abbout their bluewing stuff? im realy curious... are you the owner from this site?

Is this game has a Virus?!
no, idiot
this game looks like game, me play game, virus infect !!! NO . none virus . game not virus . people say virus but no virus . but wallpaper is pciture of pregnant duck whar to i do
is it recommended that i play it in the same configurations as presented when i first opened it up?

i managed to fix it by restarting my computer 3 times. Still love your game though. Watched Markiplier play it.
Glad to hear you were able to fix it and enjoyed the game as well.
Avast is stopping the download saying it's a security hazard.
it thinks its a virus, but it actually messes with the 4th wall a lot.
if this is 100% safe then why am I getting a virus warning
It's a false alarm due to some of the game files using crucial windows features. In your antivirus, there should be an exclusion option in which you can select the game's folder to fix the interruption popups.

If you don't want the logoff event to occur, you can disable it by going into "A Dark Place/Data" and deleting "SlientNightmare.bat".
In which language is this game written in?
The Unity runtime uses C++, the programming in the game uses C#
This game is DEEP.
If I ever want to opt out of playing is there a way to stop it. Including the locked files and stuff?
Once you stop playing, the background scare moments should stop as well as they use a timer system that closes them eventually. These also only occur if the game is being played. There is one known bug where sometimes the laughing sound system won't close when programmed to if you collect a music box. In task manager you can manually close it by finding and terminating the process called "Microsoft ® Windows Based Script Host" or "wscript.exe" for short, logging out and logging back in should close it as well.
Out of curiosity, what makes the video friendly edition "video friendly?"
The streamer/video friendly version removes the one time log off event which is known to cause the lose of some recordings. The special edition also removes this event as well for people that want to do recordings of the game without any worries.
is this without virus?
Yes, it's harmless overall while also providing spooky out of game moments just for the experience.
Scared me to death. This is 100% safe right?
Yep! The game itself is harmless in a spooky fashion.
Neat. The stencil effect texture is None to me. And I have a few delay. But is okay, cool game. Deserve a own list. :D
These sort of games is awesome. Congratulations. I shall be my best within my weak machine:
hello i have a problem with the game im in chapter 3 and im in the place where the skull is following you and you need to turn back but when im turning back the skull gets me no matter what i do i watched a lets play and the guy that i watch moved faster does someone has an answer why im slower
time stamp 46:09This could be due to framerates being too low which can give less control during this scene. Try setting the resolution and graphics to the lowest for maximum speed and control during this part. Then try and sneak up to the invisible wall and immediately turn back and sprint back from where you came. After you escape, you may change your resolution and settings back up to where they were.
it still didnt work i also did reinstaled the game but still the skull is faster when i urn back and run and i also put the screen resolution and the graphics to the lowest but i think the problem has to do with my laptop
but still thanks for the help
can i some how reset the game at this scene?
