About this game

England, 1985. Private investigator Miles Windham is asked to help the local police on a missing persons investigation on Velvet Island. But once he arrives on the island, he soon realizes that the residents are behaving strangely. Nobody seems to be interested in clearing up the case. In fact, there is a growing hostility towards the investigator that feels as though it is becoming stronger by the minute. It doesn't take long until the situation escalates and Miles finds himself in a struggle for his own survival.

Dead of Darkness is a 2D survival-horror action-adventure. Investigate a missing persons case on Velvet Island and unravel its disturbing secret. You’ll have to face grotesque creatures, hurdle deadly traps, solve puzzles, and most importantly, survive.
