Tablets megathread for the casual game-playing clown horror aficionado Gentle Readers in the audience:
Dark Arcana: The Hidden Carnival by Artifex Mundi is free until July 6th for Kindle Fire, Android, iDevice & Mac platforms.
This is a nicely creepy circus-themed horror hidden object point-and-click adventure game where you play a female detective who has to track down a kidnapped woman in a carnival gone twisted and horribly wrong due to evil influences that you have to find a way inside to both rescue the impending victim and find out what's really going on.
I've played this in the past and can recommend it as being a fun and entertaining game with a strong storyline and beautifully imaginative artwork if you're interested in such.
Will you discover the dark secrets of a traveling carnival?
In Dark Arcana you will take on the role of a female detective searching for a woman who mysteriously vanished in the middle of a funfair. While looking for clues, you will uncover a tragic love story and the consequences of an evil pact. All of which will lead you to an alternate world existing behind a magic mirror – and that’s where the key to the mystery and a thrilling confrontation with an ancient evil awaits you.
The game world is full of colorful decorations and delightful carnival attractions, but beyond the enchanted looking glass exists an unsettling and surreal realm. During your investigation, you’ll encounter not only carousels, mechanical fortune-tellers, and a Ferris Wheel but also carnivorous plants, skeletons, and demons. There is no shortage of eerie locations, so be prepared to traverse the House of Fears and the Hall of Mirrors.
The slowly uncovered story will surprise you more than once. Will you rescue the mother of a young girl? Will she uncover the secrets of the magical world and stop evil before its too late?
