Game Description
The very existence of the human race is at stake, and only you can save it. You must fight off supernatural beings, monsters, and secret societies who are bent on stopping you. With a storyline that has a knack for creepiness, Eternal Darkness offers gamers a chance to play the roles of 12 characters throughout different eras. There's also an insanity meter included for players to check their mental state during those extra-hallucinatory encounters. This game boasts an eye for historical detail in its accurate settings and costumes as well as dynamic camera moves that aim to keep players engaged for long periods of time. Fans of complex plots, psychological challenges, and good-old zombie bashing should be pleased.
