The Black Within – now on Xbox and PlayStation

Prepare for a chilling journey into the human psyche as The Black Within, a new single-player, first-person psychological horror game from Dolores Entertainment, is now available on Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5.

For the budget price of just £6.69, this title promises a tense, atmospheric tale exploring the dark consequences of trading your soul for earthly desires.

In The Black Within, you experience the story of Laila Rose, who, seeking fame and fortune, makes a fateful pact. Now, she must confront the terrifying repercussions of her actions in a narrative weaving together themes of greed, fear, and change.

Atmosphere, Puzzles, and the Uncanny

The Black Within aims to immerse players in a tense atmosphere, utilising the uncanny to tell a story designed to keep you guessing right up until the end credits. It’s not just about jump scares; the horror here seems rooted in psychological dread and unsettling environments.

Interspersed with the exploration and narrative are a series of puzzles that reportedly force you to think outside the box. The gameplay blends traditional first-person controls with point-and-click mechanics, allowing for satisfying interaction with the world as you try to piece together solutions and unravel the chilling story.

Another Dark Tale from Dolores Entertainment

Dolores Entertainment has been steadily building a catalogue of intriguing indie titles on Xbox, often dabbling in horror and unique concepts.

From the survival horror of Into Death And Beyond to the perception-bending PROJECT 13, they frequently bring unsettling experiences to the console.

The Black Within looks set to continue that trend, offering a focused, psychological horror narrative.

An Xbox gamer since 2002, I bought the big black box just to play Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee. I have since loved every second of the 360's life and am now just as obsessed with the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S - mostly with the brilliant indie scene that has come to the fore. Gamertag is neil363, feel free to add me to your list.
