A witch on the roof of a scary old house. Black cats, cobwebs, and a crescent moon - all too creepy! In this point & click adventure, your task is to guide the main character Marilyn as she ventures deeper and deeper into a mysterious house in the middle of the night.
Blackout is a straight forward point & click adventure. Investigate, navigate, and use items to interact with things in your environment.

We started playing your game at 27:20 and finished it at around 1:22:18It was a great investigation game ahah !! I didn't expect the plot twist at the end ahah ! The animations, characters and riddles was really nice ! It was creative for sure ! We really enjoyed your game !
how to do clock thing?
Very creative credit screen!
Beautiful Game i Really Liked It!
I wanted to share my experience playing Blackout, an amazing indie pixel horror game I found here!!!!! FULL PLAYTHROGH !!!!!about:about:
so funnn
Hi there! I played this game on stream for my Halloween special and let me tell you, the art and animations are gorgeous! I got stuck but I'm sure it happened because I'm not that big brained. Anyhow, here's my playthrough!
It was so fun playing! loved the artstyle and the twist!<3
Interesting, nice twisted end! Would have a function to click for next text instead of text disappearing for clicking twice (missed reading some texts). I could hear chanting the louder it is near the room, and the quieter it is far from the room, very nice! Very well done! Would recommend this game to everyone who loves Halloween.
By the way, I got scared sometimes during gameplay, which is funny. The game design was excellent!
This was very fun I liked this
ahhh omg nice twists
These three pixelart screenshots of the game attracted me to download the game. I was right that it was a greatly quality game after playing for only first few seconds! :D I'm looking forward to play it fully. (By the way, not possible to save and load?)
I think I need a game walkthrough.I just tired of fingding things.Maybe I'm silly....
There are plenty of playthroughs in the comments to help you if you get stuck :)
I played this game long time ago and it was reallyyyy good
We had a lot of fun playing this game! I hope to see more in the future!
such a great game. I figured that something is in the bag in the basement, but it gave me a message about golf clubs over and over. Even thought that a carpet looks like a clock. Gone mad a little. And cigarettes... Yeah.
Overall, a masterpiece. The thing with portraits and the double twist ending is awesome. Really one of a kind on itch!
took me a while to complete because I was looking in the comments over and over but it was a amazing game I love it so much I've played it over like 5 times already but its honestly the best game on itch
I loved it <3
So beautifully animated! I can't believe how lovely every animation is. She even does the actions for each item. I was very very impressed. I love the little moment of her in the mirror. So sweet. What a pleasing little game with a sense of humour. I love the navigation of the house, very easy and that's something people make convoluted really easily. Excellent game!
Loved it! Loved the double plot-twist!
Such a cute game!! love the little twist. Perfect if you want a spooky vibe but aren't a fan of horror games <3
Loved everything, but definitely obsessing over the animation of Marilyn stepping on and off the stool. It just- mmmmm🤌 Great job animator(s)!👏
So lovely!!! I got the vibes of the first two Monkey Island, especially the twist at the end of the second one!!!
incredibly cute, 10/10, i love the little twist, highly recommend for anyone wanting something a little spooky and a little cute
5/5
I love it, especially art style!
Very fun, took me forever to find the cigarettes but it’s hard to avoid in point and click games. Very fun.
were are the sigerets
Seems nice. Can you indicate with the downloads that they are for 64-bit? At least for the Linux version it seems. If you ever have the chance to release a 32-bit executable that would be appreciated.
ohmygod u had me fooled twice lol! great game!!
this is amazing
Loved this game! The story unfolds at a comfortable pace and the puzzles were stimulating and engaging. Thank youuu <3
Hi FRESH! I was wondering if you could tell me how many definite endings there are? I want to make sure I'm playing your game to its fullest extent!!

oh my god, beautiful game. I got a little confused about what to do after the cigarette and had to take a look at some gameplay but i really liked it. Good job!
Cigarette Where?
In the first room, in the bed
Hard.
(STILL AMAZING)
I love how she gained confidence in the end of the game when she saw her reflection, she's so pretty <3
Good game
