Martin Preston is a journalist who fired at a shadow in his garage in the dark and hit the wrong person. His loved one is in a coma. His money is almost gone. His editor, Adrian Woods, offers a way out: document the creature called the Darkness for the final installment of the "Earth's Untold Horrors" documentary series, and Adrian will pay every hospital bill in full. The Darkness lives in the woods. Martin has a camera. A first-person horror game about a desperate man walking into the dark with only one tool and a reason to survive.
