An expanded game of Scratches
Dark Legends surround the old abandoned Blackwood house, secluded far away in the northern wastelands. For writer Michael Arthate, this cold, solitary atmosphere is fodder for his restless imagination. But Michael soon becomes distracted by the mysteries offered up, as he follows a trail exploring and delving into the secrets of the past. As he is drawn deeper into the story, his sleep is shattered by mysterious noises, and he is plagued by nightmares that cross into reality. Whose shadows lurk in the dark corners? Is that lonely house inhabited by restless spirits of the past or something more sinister? What is that sound that chills to the very bone...scratching? Join Michael in a suspenseful adventure, as you explore beautiful and chilling environments. Prowl dark corners and solve puzzles leading to the solution of a tale begun with obsession, and ending with madness and murder. The Director’s Cut includes an alternate ending that might be more shocking than the original.

I'd love a modern counterpart to this, good thing the original developers are working in a spiritual successor that's been in development for 13 yea- hmmmmmmmmmmmm... that's never releasing, is it?
★★½ – Average ✅

besides that timeless quote there's a big red "PLAY" button , under which is another equally big, equally red button stating "MORE GAMES..." that, when clicked, it opens fucking internet explorer (i didn't even know my laptop had that) and redirects you to a dead domain
the game is also very good and due to copyright hell it's now considered abandonware so you can just download it whenever
The first hour of this game involves you trying to turn the lights on in your new house, calling your agent for help, missing the electrician at the front gate, calling your agent for help again, checking the fuses, calling your agent for help again, and then looking for candles. Maybe it gets super duper scary right after that, but I will never know! Terrible controls, broken hotspots, and insanely slow and awkward pathing through the house made it tough to give it even that much time.
