Storyline

Darkness Arrives is a horror game about a teenager named Eddie. As a child, he was plagued by random nightmares. In this game, Eddie wakes up in the middle of the night as a teenager. At first, he hears something, but realizes it’s just the storm, so he goes back to sleep. However, the nightmares return—this time trying to trap him forever so he can never wake up again. Your goal is to survive and complete these nightmares across Levels 1 to 3. Each level contains dream particles, a secret ending, and collectible items. These collectibles represent Eddie’s good dreams, and if you gather them all, you’ll unlock something special. Be careful and explore thoroughly, because some dream particles are hidden behind objects. They also contain messages that guide you to the next scene in the game. Good luck.
