Dark Dome's ninth installment has arrived. Following a series of escape and mystery titles such as The Girl in the Window, Beyond the Room, and Escape from the Shadows, they present us with yet another enigma. Hidden Memories thrusts you directly into a tense and disorienting world.
The game launched on Android shortly after its announcement in late March. It maintains Dark Dome's signature point-and-click escape formula, but with a stronger psychological twist this time. You'll also find occasional cameos from the broader Dark Dome universe.
Unravel Lucian's Hidden Memories
Lucian awakens with no memory, in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by puzzles he cannot comprehend. Your task is to piece together a mind shattered by something far darker than mere amnesia.
As Lucian retraces his steps through the forgotten night, memories begin to resurface in fragments. One girl repeatedly appears in these visions. She could be the key to his escape, or perhaps the very reason he is trapped.
The town of Hidden Town, where the story unfolds, resembles a labyrinth of guilt, secrets, and surreal encounters. If you've played previous Dark Dome games, you'll recognize its eerie atmosphere immediately.
Gameplay focuses on exploration and deduction. Tap to search, and combine items to progress. However, some puzzles require more creative thinking. For instance, a firework rocket becomes far more useful when reinforced with adhesive tape. A brush dipped in ink, combined with a small table soccer ball, can be fashioned into a makeshift false eye.

Discover Eerie Side Challenges
You'll be tasked with finding 10 hidden shadows throughout the game. These spectral figures only appear if you scrutinize the background details carefully.
Voodoo dolls are also scattered along your path, each one bound to a trapped soul. Completing brief mini-games reveals their final moments and hidden secrets. Sometimes, helping them move on simply requires witnessing their stories. Other times, you must solve a puzzle they left unfinished.
The game includes subtle references to earlier titles. Delian, a familiar face, makes a return appearance. Dr. Freyer's ID card makes a cameo. You might also recognize the four-armed statue from the catacombs in Escape from the Shadows. Even the medallion obtained after solving the picture puzzle is a nod to Nowhere House.
