Deep Into Darkness - Chapter 1
SteamSUMMARY
Deep Into Darkness is a horror game that features an average city, with dark secrets hiding beneath and beyond it.
Explore the town, its surroundings and go do whatever you want, wherever you want, while keeping in mind that every action leads to different reactions, paths and consequences! Interact with objects, places, people and your own imagination, while not forgetting that you have work every weekday. As the game continues, YOUR choices affect the result of your journey and what you uncover about the truth.
STORY
When you start noticing strange things happening in your TOTALLY normal life, you start questioning your own reality, and start investigating, exploring and searching for the truth behind your city and the world beyond it. The answers you seek are far darker and weirder than you think. Your searches bring unpredictable discoveries, finding yourself in crazy situations, being chased by all sorts of creatures and creations and regaining your MEMORIES. And maybe missing a workday or two.
ENVIRONMENT AND GRAPHICS
Deep Into Darkness offers immersive and quality environments with intense, calm but also eerie atmospheres that change based on the time, place and current player state. The rich environments are both a storytelling method, but also showcase help on puzzles, references and easter eggs and intentional "glitches", that are intentional only most of the time. Both the sound and graphics, that can be adjusted, help making the world more real and fleshed-out and help tell the story of the game.
