Thanks jenny and Gremlin. Dark games can be tough even if it's a great one. How about a full moon in a game that's set at night.!

Thanks Jenny100 & gremlin for the descriptive review - it seems interesting but the dark graphics really put me off! The dark graphics can definitely be a problem. They pretty much limit when you can play the game. As I said in the *** Shinyloot sale thread ***Oknytt is definitely a night-time game -- to be played with no light in the room at all other than the computer monitor. "No light" as in "if you have a light on your monitor, put an index card over it or hide it behind a sweater or something." But once your eyes get accustomed to the darkness, it gives the game a certain otherworldly feel. If you've ever gone outside at night and noticed how even familiar places seem different in the dim lighting -- especially in woodsy areas -- it's sort of like that. I think the dark graphics may prevent the game from being playable by gamers who have difficulty with their vision -- even if they play at night.

Thank you Jenny100 - bearing that in mind I may give the game a go!!
