Buy Blackout: The Darkest Night PC key

Blackout: The Darkest Night is a non-linear interactive fiction game set in a dark modern world influenced by White Wolf’s World of Darkness, H.P. Lovecraft and Twin Peaks. You play a man who wakes lost on a dark street in New Wenders, then begins having flashbacks and recovering memories of a terrible event he was part of. The event has opened his eyes to a hidden world beneath the shadows, and you can investigate what happened or try to leave it behind.

Choices and chapters

The game has 10 locations, each serving as a chapter, plus an Epilogue for 11 chapters in total. Your choices determine the order of the chapters and can change the paths available within them. Some locations are optional, some are mutually exclusive, and some are obligatory, so each playthrough covers the main part of the story but not necessarily every location. Choices can also affect later chapters, and items you collect, the order in which you visit locations and your attributes can alter the routes available on another playthrough.

Attributes and endings

Courage, Sanity and Fitness change during the game. Your attributes and some items can unlock or block choices and paths. There is no game over or death; each playthrough ends with one of five endings, with no designated good or canonical ending. A first playthrough takes about 1.5 to 2 hours.
