Introducing a new puzzle and a few small fixes

The most annoyingly fiddly puzzle in the game is gone! The tilting table puzzle in the Human Sacrifice exhibit has been replaced with a nicer water-based puzzle. It's a better fit for the atmosphere of the exhibit. The solution to the drawer puzzle in the Black Death exhibit has been adjusted to make more sense. This was a frustrating puzzle for a lot of people, not because it was too difficult, but because the solution wasn't logical. It's better now. Additional changes:

Fixed music volume failing to decrease during puzzles
Added an option to mute music entirely during puzzles (Settings / Extras)
Replaced the Black Death exhibit music with something less jovial

As always, thank you for being a part of this weird little game. Stay safe and healthy out there.

Museum Renovations for March 2020

Hello morbid friends! I hope youre all staying safe and healthy. Ive just released a big update to Dark Hill. Heres the full list of changes:

Added settings for music / sound volume, mouse sensitivity, and custom keys
Added a new crystal puzzle to the Ancient Egypt exhibit
Added shape and color variants to the Burial door puzzle
Recreated all information signs in a higher resolution for easier reading
Replaced the lighting in every exhibit with prettier, more dramatic lighting
Replaced the ugly door in the Festivals exhibit (you know it if you saw it)
Redesigned the Burial exhibit to feel more open and less oppressive
The radio in the WWII dugout can now be toggled on and off

If you like taking screenshots, you'll be happy to hear you can now toggle the crosshair by hitting the T key. You can remap that key via the settings menu. Im really proud of the Burial exhibit redesign. Check out pre and post-renovation below:

I hope you come back to the museum to see all the improvements for yourself. Stay safe out there! Dan Ruscoe Curator, Dark Hill Museum of Death

Introducing the Ancient Egypt exhibit!

Happy Friday! I'm really excited to say Dark Hill Museum of Death has received its first major update. There's now an Ancient Egypt exhibit to explore!
I've also cleaned up a few graphical issues and added a fun little funeral diorama to the Burial and Cremation exhibit. Ever see those little mechanical dioramas that take a coin or token and play out a little animated scene? It's just like that, except you don't need a coin. One other announcement - I'm going to be releasing a Linux version soon. I just need to do some testing and then I'll get it out there ASAP. My Linux machine is running Pop!_OS, which is based on the ever-popular Ubuntu, so I'm 90% confident a Linux build that works for me will work for a lot of people. I'll have an email address for feedback in the next update just in case it doesn't. Thank you all for playing Dark Hill. Seeing the reviews and people enjoying my weird little game means a lot to me. - Dan

Dark Hill Museum of Death Linux [893.84 M]

Dark Hill Museum of Death is a journey through a virtual museum where uniquely themed exhibits are unlocked by solving puzzles. Never opened to the public, the museum's secrets are yours to discover.

Experience the atmosphere of six uniquely themed exhibits.
Solve puzzles of varying difficulty. Stuck on a puzzle? Go explore and come back to it!
Learn the history of death through the ages.
Admire real death-themed artwork from different cultures and time periods.

Monarchs, prisoners, deserters, and witches all have one thing in common - the occasional early demise at the hands of an executioner.

Learn about execution methods from the middle ages to the 20th century then escape this exhibit unscathed.

Spanish conquistadors wrote of their horror upon first witnessing Aztec sacrifices. You won't see anything quite so gruesome here, but you can see some artistic depictions inside the museum's Aztec-themed pyramid.

Keep your head down while exploring this recreation of a World War II trench and you'll find your way to the dugout.

Check out the collection of war posters and listen to real war-era radio broadcasts while you're there.

Take a stroll through the museum's own mini-graveyard and enjoy the atmosphere of a starry night among the graves.

Try out the interactive cremation exhibit, but don't let the dust get in your eyes.

Do you know who Pesta The Plague Hag is? You will.
