The dark estate is the first episode of Song of Horror.

Song of Horror focuses on the struggles of players with an ancient entity called The Presence. It is controlled by artificial intelligence, which, according to the devs, adapts its behaviour to the style of play preferred by the person, which is supposed to additionally build the atmosphere of terror. It is also intensified by the fact that death in the title is the final end for the controlled character. He or she is then replaced by another one who, although starting the investigation from the moment interrupted by death, will perceive certain events in a completely different way.

These and other elements, such as sound, good puzzles or an interesting and terrifying story translated into a quite decent reception of Song of Horror by industry critics. On Metacritic, the game from Protocol Games boasts an average score of 72/100 (based on 10 reviews). It should be remembered, that so far the opinions concern only the first two episodes. Once the whole thing has appeared on the market, the reception may change.
