Dark Auction Free Download (v1.0.9)
Game Overview
Dark Auction is a captivating mystery adventure game crafted by the talented Rika Suzuki, renowned for her work on Another Code/Trace Memory and Hotel Dusk: Room 215. The game features striking character designs by Kohske, creator of GANGSTA., alongside an evocative soundtrack composed by Yuko Komiyama of Monster Hunter fame and Tsukasa Masuko, known for the Megami Tensei series. Directed and produced by Shinsuke Umeda of IzanagiGames, Dark Auction immerses players in a richly detailed 3D-rendered old castle where they freely explore rooms, interact with other participants, and unravel hidden traumas and secrets. The innovative Word Cloud System captures clues and information, enabling players to use reasoning and deduction to solve mysteries during a unique auction phase where memories, rather than money, are the currency. Set in 1981 Europe, the story follows eighteen-year-old Noah Crawford, who is haunted by the memory of his mother’s abandonment and burdened by his father Leonard’s obsession with collecting items related to a mysterious “Dictator X.” When Leonard disappears after receiving an invitation to a strange auction held in the castle, Noah ventures inside to find him, only to become trapped alongside other guests. To uncover the truth behind the auction’s exhibits, Noah must support participants by repairing their fragmented and distorted memories using a memory reconstruction device called EPO. Success in the auction reveals dramatic stories behind each object and the dark pasts of those involved. With a compelling narrative, atmospheric exploration, and a cast of memorable characters voiced by notable actors, Dark Auction offers a thought-provoking journey into memory, trauma, and truth.
