About Dark Atlas: Infernum.
You are Natalia Asensio, former Grand Master of the oldest occult order in the West: the Night Council. And while everything burns and the sky cracks, you must descend into the abysses of your mind, walk the paths of hell and seek answers to all questions.

Unlock your memories, resist the influence of the enigmatic character known as “The Word” and find your way out of the maze in which you find yourself locked up. Do it before those whose ambition is to control this new apocalyptic world get it.. Do it before they discover a way to reforge the Corona Radiata, the grimoire that will give them ultimate power. And above all, do it before… you are the one to tell them how.

Main features:

Single-player, first-person survival horror with a dark, disturbing narrative.

Gameplay is steeped in psychological horror, stealth, and puzzles.

Strong narrative content: an original story from the Saga Radiata, the literary universe created by Álvaro Aparicio that includes books, podcasts and other narrative formats, and in which the meta-anthology of horror Dark Atlas is integrated.

The cast of voices in Spanish is led by Alberto “Láudano” Martínez, voice of the popular Spanish podcast Noviembre Nocturno.

A haunting original soundtrack composed to accompany the dark narrative.

Includes original collectables and Steam Achievements, so you’ll want to explore every corner…if you dare

Dark Atlas: Infernum will be released on PC via Steam, PlayStation and Xbox consoles in 2024. Wishlist the game on Steam and PlayStation now.
