The Telltale Heart 1.0.0

The Telltale Heart is a game based on the short story by Edgar Allen Poe of the same name which makes this game not only very interesting but also educational, it is actually really eerie as the voice of the man you murdered mutters in your ear throughout the game and when the police arrive to question you your victim encourages you to confess and as the police walk round your house and ask you further questions on your living arrangements and any roommates you may have had the tension mounts nicely, the sound of the rain and thunder from outside and the thunder giving brief glimpses of light to what is a rather dreary interior of your house, not to say the graphics are bad, the opposite actually the detail that has been put in to the house is great but the colors chosen are rather dreary but it is in keeping with overall dark theme and nature of this game.

The game plays out like a horror game and although it’s not full of the jump scares that we have become accustomed to in recent times with nearly all new horror games this one is nice in that it is a different kind of horror with a more intelligent and psychological edge.

Fans of horror or Edgar Allen Poe I’m sure will not be disappointed if you are looking for something a bit different and innovative to play then you can download The Telltale Heart here for free.
