The Darkness is a first-person action/horror shooter with a twist: You are the horror! You will step into the shoes of Jackie Estacado, a mafia hit-man who becomes the latest bearer of the Darkness, a powerful demonic entity, on his 21st birthday. Having his fill with life as a thug and struggling to control the Darkness you must use your newfound powers to put an end to your “Uncle” Paulie Franchetti, the don of the family, and get out of the mob. Featuring an assortment of both earthly and otherworldly guns as well as powers that allow you to conjure demons and manifest the Darkness into a variety of lethal elements, The Darkness will take the FPS genre to the next generation.
