Relics: Dark Hours

About

Relics Dark Hours casts you as Matthew Hunter a man racing to undo a curse that’s already claimed his family. The artifacts his father sold off now haunt a crumbling high school their eerie presence growing stronger as time runs out. You’ll search shadowed hallways and classrooms piecing together clues from spectral voices and cryptic notes. The game leans heavily on environmental puzzles and item collection with ghosts offering fragmented guidance that’s equal parts helpful and haunting. The game’s strength lies in its tense atmosphere and methodical pacing. The school feels alive with creaking floors and flickering lights amplifying every quiet step. While the core loop of explore solve and backtrack is familiar the personal stakes and family secrets add grit. Players stuck on puzzles might find the hint system frustrating but the payoff of figuring out the curse’s origins keeps the momentum going. Released over a decade ago it still holds up as a solid entry in the point-and-click survival horror subgenre.
