Description

In the early 19th century, the prosperous industrialist Cornelius Rasslear shuts down his lucrative mining enterprise on Mora Island following a bout of strange disappearances. The island soon becomes the subject of urban legends and ghost stories.

Explore this place of rituals, mysteries, and despair as you coordinate movements and resources with other players, remaining silent so as to avoid the attention of the island's inhabitants. Whether it be salvation or damnation, fate awaits . . .

  • Fight unrelenting waves of creatures using weapons and rituals, stalling the growth of darkness and buying yourself time to escape the island.

  • Coordination is vital. Your resources are limited and the island is large and deadly. Communication is a resource you must spend sparingly and wisely if you are to overcome the challenge you face in the heart of darkness.

  • As darkness grows, the creates gain access to more areas.

  • Protagonists have skills and personal items to help them survive on the island.

  • Loot ranges from weapons and traps to rituals and quests.

  • Evade creatures and prevent them form feeding the Heart of Darkness
