Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage
“Darkness Within” is a series of adventure games inspired by the works of the famous horror writer, H.P. Lovecraft. In this second installment, “The Dark Lineage,” players once again take on the role of police detective Howard Loreid, a man tormented by paranormal events in the first installment of “In Pursuit of Loath Nolder.” Now, Howard discovers that his own horrific past is somehow connected to the madness that is about to consume him again.
The Dark Lineage will take you to places where the nightmares of the past are still alive and all the memories that should have been long forgotten are still with you. Also waiting for you in this world is the sleepy, depressing city of Arkhamend, a Victorian mansion hiding dark secrets, a run-down building hidden in a spooky snowy forest, and underground buildings and tunnels. The Dark Lineage is even scarier than the previous installment, so get ready for the darkness that surrounds you – this will be your last time…
