When Zoetrope Interactive released Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder in 2007, the horror adventure from Turkey showed plenty of Lovecraftian promise, though it couldn't quite sustain its lurking fear throughout its murder mystery backdrop, and a few design issues proved somewhat maddening – for the game's protagonist Howard E. Loreid, quite literally so. But with The Dark Lineage now in full swing, the developers are right back at the second and now-final series installment, determined to fine-tune the experience and deliver on the full terrors of the darkness within this time.
Having released a revamped version of Darkness Within: In Pursuit of Loath Nolder on Steam just three weeks ago, Iceberg Interactive and developer Zoetrope Interactive are now delighted to announce today’s Steam launch of the Director’s Cut Edition of the sequel, Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage.
In addition to the good news of the game’s release, a handful of new screenshots have been released today, showcasing the dark and interesting atmosphere of Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage.
Dustin Chadwell writes: If someone had shown me screenshots or video of Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage and told me it was a game made in 2010 for the PC without me knowing anything about it, I'd have called them an extremely poor liar. It has some of the worst visual design I've seen in a modern game on the PC in quite some time.
