A family camping holiday beside a wilderness lake takes a left turn as your wife and two children go missing. The only place anywhere nearby is a large Victorian mansion, so off you go. A bevy of characters, secrets and mystery await. Find out more in flotsam's review of ******** The Corruption Within ********

Thanks flotsam and Draclvr! May I just point out one thing though regarding the Recommended Memory? It seems to be a bit high .

Thanks for the review! The only reason I hadn't popped into say thanks earlier was because coverage was supposed to be embargoed until the release (18:00BST on 9th June) and I think that must have not been forwarded to you, then I never thought to remind you before the review went live. However it's only one day till release now so thought I'd pop in and say thanks for the review! Also to add one small detail, you can use the keyboard for movement (WASD keys) if you want, obviously you can navigate with the mouse if you prefer that. When the game launches it will be available at: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1395400/The_Corruption_Within/https://cosmicvoid.itch.io/the-corruption-withinWe will also be putting the game on the FireFlower Games store shortly.

I am so very sorry, CaptainD, about the early release of the review. It totally slipped my mind and I know better! I take full responsibility. At least it was a favorable review and may hopefully entice more to purchase when released tomorrow. My apologies!

I hope you enjoy the game Mad! We've had some lovely reviews so far, both on Steam and in the gaming press. Here are some of my favourites so far: "I thoroughly enjoyed The Corruption Within and highly recommend it to fans of adventures created in the traditional style." "I definitely recommend adding The Corruption Within to your collection. It's a solid, well-crafted experience that works really well within its scope, and it's just plain old fun." "A dark and twisted thriller with great pixel art and storytelling." "I can definitely recommend TCW for any mystery/horror/thriller and adventure game fans!" "The graphics are perfect, the music is incredible and the story comes together in a way that works really well here." "Absolutely amazing game that takes me right back to the beginning of my love of point and click adventures. The atmosphere is fantastic. The music score is amazing. Overall a great time."

I've played a chunk now and I am very enthusiastic. This is certainly my type of "old school" game

Finished the game today and thoroughly enjoyed it A good story. And once I got back into the swing of "exhausting all dialogue and item descriptions", as was often the case in some of the old goodies, I moved along at a timely pace

I got stuck more than a time or two during the game !! And resorted to going everywhere, talking to everybody and looking at everything .... (Typical solving mechanisms )
