There's a lot of potential at the beginning of every episode in Dark Nights with Poe and Munro, but--without fail--every episode falls apart while also taking away reasons to like its characters or hold out hope that the next episode will be better. It's really a shame, because there's so many good ideas in this game, but they just don't get the attention they deserve.
Campbell Bird · Nov 01, 2021 Reviewed on iOSRead full reviewIt might hit the camp button a little too hard at times, but overall Dark Nights with Poe and Munroe is an enjoyable live-action adventure. The episodes are short enough to get through in one sitting and are packed with replayability in the different outcomes of our choices, as well as entertaining tales told within. Live-action games have had a bit of a resurgence of late, and this title easily rides high as one of the best.
Jamie Collyer · May 04, 2021 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewCharming, cheesy, and mysterious, Dark Nights with Poe and Munro delivers a solid FMV adventure throughout its six episodes. Though the game plays out more like a choose-your-own-adventure than a full on video game, it’s a good time nonetheless. I found the dynamic duo to be fun to watch, especially during their playful banter due to the strong chemistry between the two actors.
Garland Pan · Jun 23, 2020 Reviewed on PCA mix of the supernatural and saucy, Dark Nights with Poe & Munro excites with witty exchanges and Lynchian tales that come undone by unclear choice and pacing.
Laura Cress · Jun 10, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewConsidering the price point of $13 USD, it’s hard not to recommend Dark Nights with Poe and Munro. One or two of the episodes are a little naff, yes, and there are a few minor issues with subtitles in addition to the other issues. I also think it’s the weakest of D’Avekki’s games so far: It doesn’t have the sinister undertones of Doctor Dekker or the creativity in player agency of Shapeshifting Detective. Nonetheless, it stands pretty well as its own thing — a set of fun little mini-adventures.
Tim McDonald · May 19, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIt doesn’t quite reach the lofty heights of The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker or The Shapeshifting Detective, but its episodic format, coupled with excellent performances and quality writing, means that Dark Nights with Poe and Munro is well worth tuning in for.
Chris Mc · May 19, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewIt arguably pulls off the whole "interactive TV" angle better than anything on Netflix, inching things far closer to a full merger between gaming and TV. However, it's likely that Dark Nights isn't concerned with making those kinds of big moves, and it succeeds as a fun side story for D'Avekki Studios' growing catalog. If you or your loved ones adore over the top horror, then you should definitely tune in to Radio August.
Alex Santa Maria · May 18, 2020 Reviewed on PCRead full reviewThere is a lot of potential in Dark Nights with Poe and Munro. But, I needed the player to have a more active role rather than a passive one. But, perhaps there is an audience out there for this game and I just may not be it.
Malini Adkins · Jul 02, 2021 Reviewed on PS4Read full reviewDark Nights with Poe and Munro is a hugely enjoyable FMV and I would love to see more episodes follow this in the future. The writing, choice-making, and innovative ideas are all of a high standard and this means that it’s another big tick for the fascinating and exciting D’Avekki Studios. Fans of the FMV scene should definitely give this a go.
Gareth Brierley · May 04, 2021 Reviewed on XB1Read full reviewDark Nights with Poe and Munro is more of what D’Avekki does well – weird, cheeky, eldritch FMV games that have snappy dialogue and a penchant for the lovecraftian darker side of entertainment. If you enjoyed Shapeshifting Detective or The Infectious Madness of Doctor Dekker, you’ll enjoy what this game does too – more so than those who haven’t.
