'''A Dark Place''' is a meta-[[Screamer#In video games|horror game]] developed by XerStudios and published in 2018.

The game utilizes several joke [[programs]] that are packaged with the main executable and are automatically launched at certain points in the game. As a result, the game is often detected and blocked by antivirus programs, and the developer recommends disabling such programs before playing.
