a cute, educational game !! the minigames were enjoyable, and i think this would be a great find for a kid on a day home from school as a little field trip. i liked learning all the little facts around the museum ^_^
Very enjoyable and unexpected game.
i like that the creator put thought into the design of the museum and the story behind it, like an actual curator. it's very pleasant to explore
A mini museum experience with fun little puzzles to keep you engaged, well worth the price.
Enjoyable and educational puzzle game laid out as an interactive tour through a museum. Very nice!
A nice, relaxing trip through a museum of death and pain.
Dark Hill Museum of Death is an educational/simple puzzle/walking sim hybrid with a dash of morbid for flavor. The puzzles are simple and intuitive, the facts are interesting, and the atmosphere is delightfully ghoulish. I definitely recommend this game for younger gamers, those with a fascination with the macabre, and anyone with a spare buck and a free hour.
This game is short, and the 3D graphics aren't the most sophisticated. But they do the job, and probably make it easier to play. It was fascinating to read about the history of death through various cultures (although I already knew a lot of it). Some of the puzzles were more difficult than others. If I'd had the sound on, I might have got the enigma machine puzzle out without having to check the solution. And the peg puzzle was a bit of a headache initially.
But it's a fun, interesting little game, which really makes you think about how society has changed and adapted to new thinking over the millennia. And you can learn about the Mayan numbering system, which I actually already knew.
Anyway. Does death fascinate you? Do you like different mini-game puzzles? Then try out this game!
I really enjoyed this trip through a virtual museum dedicated to death in various forms throughout history. The game calls to mind memories of Sierra's "Shivers" game from the 90s with its setting, atmospheric soundtrack, and puzzles that must be solved to advance. (The dev acknowledged that Shivers was an influence.) While not nearly as complex as that game, the experience was well worth the 3 bucks I spent. Recommended!
The game does simulates a museum atmosphere, with different grand BGM for each area, and a large hanging exhibits above you (^v^).
There are short stories of how each exhibit was used in the world history, and not all exhibits are gruesome and blood.
In fact, I have not seen any blood anywhere in the game, so if you are afraid of bloody pictures or chasing scenes, there is none in this game! So you can relax and ENJOY the the museum atmosphere. ^_^
There is also a pug (dog) hidden in a corner, it was spooky at first but he seems o be lost in the museum.
There are mini interactable games in the museum, not too difficult but at the same time, requires some thinking.
I bought the game during December sales at 0.59 Euros (~HK$ 6).
There are lots of images that tells you the origin of the exhibits. The graphic design is basic but the layout is pretty perfect to recreate an adventure-themed museum. Halloween, Egypt, World War, Chinese Hungry Ghost festival, Europe prisoners death ways, etc..
For someone who adores museums, I would love this museum to come to life.
Brief, macabre, and historically interesting. The puzzles were executed quite well and room designs were suitable for their unique incidents. In general, it's worth your time and money.
Wow this game nails the feeling of being in a museum, only instead of having to wait my turn to play with all of the interactive exhibits, I'm in here by myself! I found myself exploring like it was a real place, taking my time and soaking everything in. I even learned some things. The Aztec room number puzzle stands out as an awesome bit of educational gaming, and outside a standard sliding puzzle every puzzle is fun and slick. I kind of wish there was a full scale museum made like this. Everything is crisp and clean, a little spooky, and just fun to play around with and explore.
I had my eyes on this game for some time now. I just finished my first visit at the museum and I'm so glad! I really enjoy to visit exhibitions of all sorts (but we all know what's happening nowadays, so no need to repeat) and to see one in the form of a video game (especially nowadays...) : One ticket please!
Even with such heavy subjects, Dark Hill: Museum of Death manages to bring me the ambience, the information and the chance to take my time to examine every pieces in each room.
All that while at the same time, being a video game where it checks all the marks in terms of level design, puzzles games, progression, pacing and replayability.
This is one of the things I really relish the most from "video games" art/communication medium: The ability to achieve different results with the same tools. All that really matters is the idea and really execute on it. I'm truly impressed by this one.
On a side note,I had to contact the dev about a missing puzzle which appeared on one of the store page' screenshots. Since its release, the game had some patches and updates I can only imagine it must've been missed. Since all the achievements are tied to solving the puzzle, I was unable to complete my visit. So like I said, contacted the dev, he responded and fixed the issue in maybe 30 minutes..! I was more than surprised !
Recommended to anyone who misses going to see exhibitions, to anyone who enjoys diverse puzzles (there's at least one in each room) and to anyone who enjoys discovering what more this young art medium can achieve.
A weird but interesting walk through the ways people used to get offed. Short and sweet puzzles.
A good puzzle game , quite short , and puzzles quite easy . Quite a good vibe but I did think from the title there would be a bit of peril in it . Quite surprised when I realised I finished it .
The history nerd in me really enjoyed this game. It was really fun to wander around a museum solving puzzles while learning about different cultures.
The actual puzzles range from mind-numbingly easy to head-scratching and tough. 95% of the solutions are fairly obvious I think. Well done! I'll definitely keep my eye out for more stuff by this Dev.
This game's pretty great!
Good puzzles but some of them are too easy and confusing, but overall its still good.
Sadly its don't have much story & Lore ( I think cuz I'm not sure that its has a secret or not ) so you can beat it really fast.
The visual & sounds are okay, not outstanding but not that bad.
I quite enjoyed this little experience - as a lover of history (morbid and otherwise!) and museums. The puzzles are simple enough that I'd recommend just playing it through instead of opting for the "tourist mode," if only to give you a little more bang for your buck; it is a short, little puzzler.
But don't let that dissuade you! The museum layout is novel and interesting, the blurbs in the exhibit are compelling... if you have the remotest interest in the macabre, or history, this is an easy buy. You can tell a great deal of love went into this project.
If I had one quibble it's that I'd like to have spent more time in the Dark Hill Museum of Death.
Dark Hill Museum of Death is already one of my favorite games of 2019 (along with Onimusha, Crazy Archery, and the upcoming Resident Evil 2 and Metro: Exodus). I only wish I hadn't had to play so many bad ones before I found this one this year. The puzzles are decent but not overbearingly difficult. The story makes sense (for the most part) and it's a wonderful museum that's actually dedicated to death! I mean, it seriously is a death museum. It talks about WW2 trenches, Day of the Dead, Coffins, and much more that are all actually part of our history of death.
It was fascinating to learn some of the facts about death thrown into this game and I just generally had a blast the entire way through. It's short but sweet and the price is just right. I highly recommend this game.
I started uploading a series to Youtube. I may eventually do a speedrun of this game as well since I liked it so much. Feel free to check out the series (which is still finishing uploading at the moment) and decide for yourselves if this is something you might like:

Dark Hill Museum of Death is a short museum tour that is reminiscent of Matthew Browns' Cypher. But I must stress that Dark Hill Museum of Death is far less polished, far shorter, and the puzzles are quite simple. I felt like a boss crushing through them, and that's okay sometimes. To emphasize how short this is - I 100%'d the Achievements in less than an hour, and have little reason to revisit this short of showcasing to a friend. Is the price-point fitting? Eh, barely, but the idea is original and I can feel the indie love here. This is very much an Itch-level game.
Essentially, you are walking through an semi-interactive museum based on death and human tragedy. The topics run the gamut from execution rituals to warfare to plague, and more. There are puzzles scattered throughout that are probably too easy for their own good, but I can confidently say I was never remotely frustrated. I appreciated the well-written text snippets next to each exhibit, and genuinely enjoyed my little time with this title. Is this a must-own? Not by a long-shot, but it is an interesting little game that would only exist in the realm of truly indie. And I value that very much.
Pros:
+Touring a museum is an interesting game concept, and reminds me of a cross between Cypher and something from Blendo games.
+Fun little puzzler to Achievement hunt.
+The overall experience was neat.
Meh:
=With almost no replayability, I'm not sure how I feel about the price-point. Yeah, it's not much to ask, but you'll be done within an hour. There is plenty of room for historic expansion, and the foundation is already built.
Cons:
-Some rough edges such as no options menu once you are in the game proper, and even from the main menu it was lacking.
-The experience was too short. I would say 'it didn't overstay it's welcome', but that's not entirely true for me. I would have enjoyed a good bit more.
Cheers to indie games! I'm glad you exist.
