Dark Notes

About

Dark Notes is a narrative-driven puzzle game where you control two characters split across different timelines. The story unfolds in a large shopping mall that becomes a maze of shifting corridors and hidden dangers. Players piece together events through environmental clues and dialogue choices, with time travel mechanics altering the layout and accessibility of areas. The mall's cheerful facade masks a history of disappearances, and your decisions determine which secrets get exposed. The game's twist-heavy story and layered puzzles have drawn praise for keeping players guessing. A key mechanic lets you rewind sections of the environment to create new paths, blending exploration with cause-and-effect problem solving. While the setting might seem mundane, the tension builds steadily as the mall's true nature emerges. Early access reviews on Steam average 85% positive, with many noting how the dual timelines force you to rethink earlier assumptions.
