Game Overview
Fear the Dark by Hacksaw Gaming brings players into a quirky and spine-tingling graveyard world. Launched in April 2023, this slot plays out on a 6x6 grid, using a cluster pays mechanic where you win by landing five or more matching symbols touching horizontally or vertically.
Cascading reels see the winning symbols vanish, letting new ones drop down and possibly trigger more wins. You’ll find medium volatility gameplay here and a default RTP of 96.25%, though some versions can offer RTP rates of 94.33%, 92.36%, or even 88.25%.
Bets go from €0.10 up to €100 a spin, with the chance to land up to 5,000 times your stake. The slot is packed with features, including the Full Moon feature, which you’ll trigger by landing the Moon Man scatter symbol.
This brings between two and five symbol multipliers above the reels, each linked with a high-value symbol, and these multipliers can range from 2x to 100x. The multiplier boosts all wins including the corresponding symbol, as long as those multipliers are active.
There’s also a Free Spins round, giving you more chances for play and bigger wins. Fear the Dark’s visuals blend charcoal-black shades with neon highlights to craft an abstract graveyard, brought to life by the occasional drifting ghost.
This gives the game a spooky yet playful vibe. As part of Hacksaw Gaming’s Pocketz series, Fear the Dark is optimised for mobile, so you can enjoy it smoothly no matter what device you’re on.
