STORYLINE

Electric Darkness is an atmospheric third-person shooter with horror elements. The story takes place in the near future, where a group of scientists is conducting research in a secret facility. Their goal is to create a powerful, limitless energy source that can open portals to other dimensions. 

During the experiment, unknown energy-based creatures – electrophages – broke through the laboratory through a portal, killing employees. These beings feed on electricity, and after absorbing it, they plunge the entire facility into darkness.

The protagonist, Clarissa Stark, is the captain of a special unit sent to the complex via rail to rescue any survivors.

But what if the real threat is lurking in the shadow?
