Following a spate of violent electrical storms, ghostly-looking humanoid figures suddenly start to appear in living rooms, on the streets, in parks, shops and in churches. They do not move. They do not speak. They do not react. Scientists are baffled but the true sorcerers of our time have had visions, nightmares, and premonitory dreams where the world falls apart and tyrannies proliferate and sects, secret organisations and demonic cults seek a way to gain control of what remains of humanity.

Dark Atlas: Infernum be part of SelectaPlay’s playable lineup at the upcoming Indie Dev Day from 8th - 10th September in Barcelona, Spain.

More about Dark Atlas: Infernum.
Out there, the world is falling apart. Massive electrical storms have begun to sweep across the Earth. After each passing, little by little, the streets are filled with ghosts. Scientists and sorcerers of our time have decided to call them “Imprints”. They look like our dead but don't react to any stimuli. They are entities contemplating the night of the cities. And the nations are burning.

Your destiny, however, is to escape from a nightmare in which the ‘Word’ is perpetually harassing you through your memories, the ruins of civilization, the nether abysses of your soul, and hell itself. It is time to face the questions and the consequences of your actions. You must fight against the captivity you have been subjected to for telling the truth. Because endless threads hang from your knowledge.

You can't waste any more time. You must react and find the exit because you are in a labyrinth of crossroads. Outside, the skies crumble. Great forces are consolidating to seize power in the spectral world. They want to use them as instruments of desolation. They want you to tell them how to forge the holy book: the Corona Radiata.
