About Fear the Dark
Fear the Dark is a slot game from Hacksaw that operates on a 6-reel, 6-row cluster pays format. The game offers a maximum possible win of 5,000 times your stake, which can be achieved during the Alone in the Dark free spins feature.
Slot Features
Full Moon Feature
The Full Moon feature is triggered by landing the Moon Man scatter symbol. When activated, between 2 and 5 symbol multipliers appear above the grid, each corresponding to a specific high-value symbol. The possible multiplier amounts are: 2x, 3x, 4x, 5x, 6x, 7x, 8x, 9x, 10x, 15x, 20x, 25x, 50x, and 100x.
During this mode, any winning combinations involving a multiplied symbol will see their payouts boosted according to the respective multiplier. Once no further wins occur, the leftmost multiplier is removed along with all matching and all low-value symbols, which are then replaced. This process continues for each multiplier remaining in play. Full Moon mode ends after all multipliers have disappeared from the grid.
Alone in the Dark Free Spins
The Alone in the Dark bonus activates when you land at least 3 FS (Free Spin) scatter symbols during a base game spin:
- 3 FS scatter symbols grant 10 free spins
- 4 FS scatter symbols grant 15 free spins
While this feature is active, the chances of getting Moon Man symbols are increased. Each additional FS scatter symbol that lands during free spins awards 4 extra free spins.
Darkness Spins Mode
In the free spins round, candles around the grid are illuminated. Once all free spins are used, the candles extinguish, activating the Darkness Spins mode. Each time this mode is triggered or reset, you receive 2 additional spins.
Before every Darkness Spin, the grid shrinks by one symbol on all sides, first reducing to a 4x4 layout, then down to 2x2. If a Full Moon feature is triggered or a free spin retrigger occurs, the grid returns to its full 6x6 size for the rest of that current spin, and Darkness Spins are reset. The Darkness Spins feature concludes if neither a Full Moon activation nor a free spins retrigger is achieved.
Symbol Payouts
Payouts are calculated according to your chosen bet amount. The Return to Player (RTP) percentage can be viewed within the game interface.
Winning Mechanisms
Wins are awarded for forming clusters of 5 or more matching symbols that are connected anywhere on the grid. These win conditions apply to both the base game and the bonus features unless otherwise specified. Each spin offers a chance to score multiple winning combinations, and all valid combinations per spin are paid out.
When a win lands, the winning symbols are removed and replaced by new symbols, repeating until no further wins are created.
