Dark Darker Darkest

A team of urban survivors explores the locked, heavily guarded house of a scientist to locate his laboratory and recover an antidote to a spreading infection. Players scavenge rooms for tools and coded items to open doors, manage a color-coded inventory, and cooperate to control fires that progressively destroy locations. Movement and actions balance exploration, stealth and icon-driven combat as an autonomous game A.I. controls hordes of hostile creatures, security cameras and escalating threats. Modular boards and A.I.-driven scenarios create varied, tactical sessions where timing, resource use and team coordination determine whether the group reaches the lab and faces the final menace.
