Dark Dome's ninth installment has arrived. Following popular escape and mystery titles like The Girl in the Window, Beyond the Room, and Escape from the Shadows, the developer presents Hidden Memories – plunging players into a disorienting psychological thriller.
The game became available on Android shortly after its March announcement. While maintaining Dark Dome's signature point-and-click escape mechanics, this entry introduces deeper psychological elements alongside clever nods to the developer's expanding universe.
Lucian's Hidden Memories
Players awaken as Lucian, robbed of his memory in an unfamiliar place surrounded by cryptic puzzles. The journey involves reconstructing a mind shattered by something far more sinister than mere amnesia.
As Lucian pieces together fragments of his forgotten night, recurring visions of a mysterious girl emerge. She might hold the key to his escape – or represent the very reason he's trapped.
The setting of Hidden Town unfolds as a labyrinth of guilt, secrets, and bizarre encounters. Series veterans will recognize familiar elements from previous Dark Dome games woven throughout the environment.
Gameplay emphasizes careful exploration and logical deduction through tapping, searching, and combining items. However, some puzzles require unconventional solutions – like modifying fireworks with adhesive tape or crafting makeshift tools from unexpected combinations.

Haunting Side Challenges
The game features eerie bonus objectives, including tracking down 10 hidden shadows that subtly appear in background elements.
Players will also discover voodoo dolls tied to restless spirits. These trigger short mini-games revealing each soul's final moments and unfinished business. Some require solving lingering mysteries, while others simply need their stories witnessed.
Series enthusiasts will appreciate multiple callbacks to previous titles. Familiar faces like Delian make reappearances, while environmental details reference earlier settings and puzzles – including a particular medallion linking back to Nowhere House.
Hidden Memories is available now on the Google Play Store.
