Something dark, sinister and outright terrifying has made its way onto the floor at Arcade Club Bury. Dark Escape 4D! This Namco frightfest has been a real hit with our visitors since joining the collection at Arcade Club Bury, and its easy to see why. The game bills itself as a 4D experience, achieved through a mixture of inventive technology housed into the cabinet itself. To start with the game is in 3d (glasses included, but can be played as a standard 2D game), but added to the mix are a combination of ambient real world triggers, vibrating seats, blasts of air, and plenty of heavy bass to make you see, hear and feel every scare!

While Dark Escape lacks the name recognition of more household horror games such as Resident Evil or the ever popular House of the Dead series, it’s an arcade game that ranks among the best horror themed light gun games we’ve ever played, its that good. While graphically it might lag behind more recent titles like House of the Dead 5 Scarlet Dawn, where it really excels is in its ability at creating a truly atmospheric journey through the games different levels. Then there are the jump scares. Make no mistake, Dark Escape wants to scare its players! Want proof? The game has in-built heart sensor to give its players a more bespoke scare!

For the longest time The House of the Dead franchise has stood as the lone champion of the arcade Horror Shooter genre...until now! And dare we say it...Dark Escape beats it in terms of a pure horror experience! Check it out now, on Floor 1 Arcade Club Bury.
