Step into a world of maritime mystery and temporal distortion in Dark Fall 2: Lights Out. This psychological horror adventure takes players deep into the heart of a supernatural investigation, where the boundary between the past and the future is as thin as the coastal fog. As you navigate through pre-rendered environments, you will face an ancient evil that threatens to consume everything in its path.

A Haunting Mystery on Fetch Rock

The story begins in 1912. You play as Benjamin Parker, a cartographer sent to the coastal town of Trewintan, Cornwall, with the simple task of mapping the coastline. However, your mission takes a dark turn when you become embroiled in the investigation of the Fetch Rock Lighthouse. On New Year's Day, 1900, three lighthouse keepers vanished without a trace, leaving behind nothing but rumors of curses and hauntings.

As Parker, you find yourself accused of murdering the missing men, forced to clear your name while uncovering the truth behind their disappearance. The investigation reveals that the lighthouse is built upon something ancient and terrible. To solve the mystery, you must confront Malaki, a powerful entity whose presence causes time distortions and unexplainable paranormal events. Your journey will take you through a non-linear narrative where you must jump through time portals to explore eras ranging from the Bronze Age to a futuristic research base.
