Overview
Description

DARK is a thrilling stealth-action game with RPG elements where players step into the shoes of a newly turned vampire suffering from memory loss. Set in a dark, atmospheric modern world, you must navigate lavish environments ranging from city museums to heavily guarded skyscrapers while uncovering the conspiracy behind your condition. Utilize supernatural vampire abilities such as vanishing into thin air, going invisible, and executing devastating melee strikes to eliminate mortal security guards and rival creatures of the night. Earn experience, develop formidable skills, and survive the shadows where the hunter can easily become the prey.

Set in post‑World War I London during the Spanish flu pandemic, you play as Dr. Jonathan Reid, a newly‑turned vampire forced to balance his medical oath with his bloodthirsty curse. Explore atmospheric streets, uncover personal stories, and decide who lives and who dies. Your choices shape the city’s fate, while combat blends melee, ranged weapons, and supernatural powers that drain your own blood, demanding strategic feeding to survive.
