You are a bad ass! Thank you so much. Purchased and shared in the PD discord. Maybe consider having it added to Catalog (the official Playdate store) as well
Thanks for your support! I have submitted it for the catalogue, still waiting for the response. However, unfortunately I wasn't able to announce it on the Playdate dev forum, probably because I am totally new there. Please help spread the word!
loving it. I’m often bad at games like this but I’ve completed more than a dozen levels. Will try to promote on my website in near future if that’s ok! :)
Very good game as well as Tenebra 2 and action game Hell Beneath. This game also made it into my latest "TOP 10 AMIGA GAMES according to 2023 Itch.io reviews" -video. So congratulations!🙂
Fantastic game! We will have a review of it in the December issue of WhatIFF? Is there a way to control the game with a keyboard on a real Amiga or only a joystick? I think it would be nice to have keyboard control. Finally would have time for an interview?
I am playing catch up with games featured in the new Crash Magazine. Following its 88% review in #13, I downloaded it and I have been playing it over the last two days. Currently on Level 25 and really enjoying it. Initially downloaded it for free but came back to pay something. Cheers.
I used the PUTRUN.COM program that comes with SpartaDOS 3.2d to add the missing RUN address. It added "E0 02 E1 02 00 34" onto the end of the file. In other words, it defines a segment that loads $3400 @ memory address $2E0 (and $2E1). But you're supposed to let the assembler do that for you rather than hard-coding a RUN address yourself.
It's exactly the same as my copy that I ran PUTRUN on so it should be O.K. You can build the old MS-DOS binload program from source available from here: https://www.crowcastle.net/preston/atari/
That will help you analyse Atari memory image files like this in the future. It seems to use stdio (libc) functions to read the file and print out the results so it should be buildable on any system.
Hi Haplo, I want to add sound to the Atom version but I do not know what sound is used for which event. Can you help me with that? I sent you a message on Stardot about an Acorn Atom version of Tenebra sound problem.
Very nice and tricky game! Our German-language review of the C64 version can be found in our recorded livestream from January 2022 starting at 01:39:05. Automatic subtitles should be available too (switch on, if necessary). Subscription to our YouTube or Twitch channel is welcome. 🙂

Thanks to Yape (xplus4 from Vice is buggy as hell when managing memory snapshots), I make it to the end for Tenebra and the Plus/4 port.
Well, as I was free today, I played and finished PMD85 port. I use model 2A with the musica sound hardware in the emulator.
As usual, the end screenshot :)
Just finished the Atari Jaguar port using BigPEmu emulator. Loved the background music during the game.
Hello. A "simple" wish. Could it be possible to port Tenebra on Apple II and / or Oric Atmos.
If you need a beta tester message me
Thanks for your answer.
Have a good day.
Hey, both ports should be possible. I'll take a look when I find the time.
Thanks.
Ok. Thanks for your answer. If you need a beta-tester, just tell me :D
Better late than never, I finished the Atari 8 bit port.
I pull some hair of my head with the maze level.
A NES, SNES, Master System and Genesis versions would be great, though this is a suggestion.
NES port already exists. You can get ROMs from here and the physical cartridges from here and here.
Have you considered a version for Playdate?
I've been intending too. Maybe now is a good time to take a look at it. Thanks for the nudge.
That would be awesome! I would buy it :) thanks for all your hard work!!
Thanks for your support. I have already started looking at the Playdate platform, as I know nothing about it!
There you have it!

very good
This is so cool! I'm glad you liked the game and thanks for your support!
Thank you for the ST version!
Hey I've just bought the Atari ST version. Thank you for making this. It looks superb :)
Glad you liked it and thanks for your support.
loving it. I’m often bad at games like this but I’ve completed more than a dozen levels. Will try to promote on my website in near future if that’s ok! :)
By all means, please do! Thanks again for your support.
An amazing game that I've REALLY enjoyed playing on my Atari ST :) Featured it here: https://ataricrypt.blogspot.com
Thanks and I'm glad you enjoyed it this much. Tenebra 2 for Atari ST will be ready soon, by the way.
Awesome - Atari ST

Only joystick is supported.
And sure, send me your questions.
Amazing game! Played and finished the NES version.

Thanks for your support, and be sure to try Tenebra 2 as well!
I finished the 1st one on Wednesday night, I look forward to playing the second one. Cheers
Same. I saw all the to-do about the second release and started with this one. I'm stuck on the last level!
FYI, the ZX Spectrum version also runs on the Timex/Sinclair 2068.
Thanks for letting me know, I have updated the instructions.
The Atari version doesn't have a RUN address set. So it simply loads up and then goes back to DUP.SYS.
Other people have been using it without any problem. Do you mean something is missing in the XEX header?
I used the PUTRUN.COM program that comes with SpartaDOS 3.2d to add the missing RUN address. It added "E0 02 E1 02 00 34" onto the end of the file. In other words, it defines a segment that loads $3400 @ memory address $2E0 (and $2E1). But you're supposed to let the assembler do that for you rather than hard-coding a RUN address yourself.
Thanks, I was not aware of this. I have updated the binary. Can you please try and let me know if it is better now?

I just discovered this:
https://github.com/HiassofT/AtariSIO
The "ataricom" program in the "tools" sub-directory is very useful for analysing and fixing up Atari executable files. Read README-tools file.
(also has a program to show a directory listing of a disk image and a program to create a disk image from the contents of a directory)
Awesome version 1 Thanks Haplo.
Awesome! Atari version:
Hi Haplo, I want to add sound to the Atom version but I do not know what sound is used for which event. Can you help me with that?
I sent you a message on Stardot about an Acorn Atom version of Tenebra sound problem.
Tenebra - MSX version:
Great puzzle game ! Haplo well done ! One question, why not doing a Atari 8 bit version too ?
Those are the next in the queue!
Good ! Where do you release atari version ?
Haven't done it yet, currently working on Ooze for Amiga. Will upload the Atari version here once ready.
Done!
Hi Haplo, I sent you a message on Stardot about an Acorn Atom version of Tenebra.
Love the game, I've played all but NES and now Beebs versions. :) When can we expect a Dragon32/Tandy ColorComputer version? :)
Thank you. So many new systems to learn...
Great game, and thanks for adding the BBC and Electron version.
A version for Atari 8-bit computers would be nice, thanks!
Done!
Just noticed, thanks! I will spread the news!
Really enjoyed Interlace mode!
I've put the Amiga version of the game in my round-up of retro indie games for April 2023
Hi Haplo - how best to reach you for some comments in our ZZAP! AMIGA review? Thanks
Hey, you reach me at my gmail address, the account is "haplotenebra". Alternatively, Jazzcat has my personal email address.
Fantastic job. In my Top 3 of 2022.
I love this game
Someone... It is scary?!
No it is not scary. It is also safe for kids.
Oh, Oka, thanks
Love the Amiga version, the enhanced looks are really cool.
I've done a video (in German) showing the Amiga version:
Thanks a lot for the Amiga version. News item published! :)
