Retro systems live on as developer Bitfans has released a new horror adventure game for the Spectrum 128k, called Donum, which is available to buy now from Itch.io for only €2.50.

Since you found that strange box in your garden, every night, every dream, has become a real nightmare for you. A thriller from which you don’t know how to escape. The only thing you can do at the moment is play the macabre game that some strange beings, who call themselves “guddomer”, force you to play every night. Now, your only purpose is to survive and that your soul does not become a slave for all eternity… You’re not ready for this. No human being is.
To play this adventure game, gamers must use a text parser and action object sentences like “get key” or “open the door”, with the goal being to survive each night in order to avoid immortality spent as a serf to the master Guddom Dael. You will need to read the signs and clues that appear in each room and work out the correct decision on where to head next in this game taking inspiration from the works of Clive Barker. To play the game, you will need proper hardware or an emulator capable of running Spectrum 128k games, and for those curious, you can watch the demo below:
