A direct sequel to the Dead Of Darkness, Dead Of Darkness 2 enhances the original’s crunchy sprite-based aesthetic to deliver higher detailed visuals, full 2D isometric gameplay and more frames of animation. Narratively, it builds upon the deep and chilling lore established in the first game, introducing a fresh cast of characters and an eerie new location to explore: the deeply sinister town of Goldren Creek.

When Jun Takehara finds a wounded little girl in the Appalachians, her search for help takes her to Goldren Creek, where she is soon pulled into a nightmare of unspeakable horrors; what she uncovers in the town's depths will change her life forever.

Pennsylvania, 1985. Jun Takehara lives a quiet life in a trailer deep in the Appalachians. Her only real connection is Felton, an old veteran who was a close friend of her recently deceased father. Having promised to look out for Jun, Felton has become something of a grandfather figure to her.

During a hunting trip, Jun stumbles upon a wounded little girl in a secluded part of the woods. Confused and frightened, the girl has no idea who she is or how she got there. With no way to call for help and no means of transportation, Jun brings her back to the trailer and tends to her wounds. But when two suspicious policemen arrive minutes later, Jun and Felton find themselves pulled into a nightmare of unspeakable horrors.

From today, those looking to catch-up with the original Dead Of Darkness can purchase it digitally on GOG, where it currently has a 40% launch discount. The same discount is also available for those looking to pick the game up via Steam.
