Spirit Hunter: Death Mark

Death Mark is a horror adventure game enriched with visual novel elements. Behind the game is the studio Experience.

Plot

The story in Death Mark begins in H. City in the suburbs of Tokyo. According to an urban legend, people whose bodies bear the title "sign" die in mysterious circumstances; according to some, this is the result of a curse or a meeting with the spirit.

In the course of the game, we play the role of an amnesia-stricken man, who also noticed the title character. In search of salvation, the hero ends up in a gloomy residence (Kujou Mansion), where he meets not only Meria, a doll speaking with a human voice, but also other people bearing a mysterious mark. He can choose one companion (or companion) to explore the mysteries hidden by the dark house and solve the mystery of the title "sign" before it's too late.

Mechanics

In Death Mark we observe the action from the first person perspective (FPP). The overriding element of the game is traversing the house, whose next rooms are presented in the form of static illustrations, as well as solving environmental riddles. It is worth keeping an eye on it, because you can easily come across places controlled by demons; however, bathed in the darkness rooms can be illuminated with a flashlight. Moreover, while playing, we talk to our misery companions and make decisions determining the course of the plot.

Technical aspects

The two-dimensional graphics of Death Mark are cartoon-style; the gloomy atmosphere is created by the frugal colours and atmospheric soundtrack.
