Overview

About this game

The wilderness was supposed to be your escape. It becomes your nightmare.

In Darkness Up North, you set out for peace and solitude in the remote forests of northern Canada. What began as a tranquil retreat quickly spirals into a psychological descent as reality distorts, haunting whispers echo through trees, and unsettling events challenge your grip on sanity.

Explore a lonely cabin and its surroundings, uncover disturbing secrets buried in the mountains, and make choices that determine your fate. The forest watches. The cabin remembers. And the deeper you go, the closer you are to the truth — or to becoming part of the mystery itself.
