Unknown Darkness is a Lovecraftian tactical roguelike deckbuilder set in an alternate 1920s America, where the horrors of the Great War tore open the veil between realities. Lead a secret federal agency against cults, monsters, madness, and a forgotten god whose name was erased from history.
As Commander Elias Ford, a veteran and bearer of impossible secrets, you'll recruit operatives, investigate occult threats, and hold the last line between civilization and what lurks beyond the dark.
Unknown Darkness fuses real history with Lovecraftian horror. The figures you'll encounter aren't just fictional characters.
J. Edgar Hoover — a rising bureaucrat whose obsession with secrecy is rooted in horrors he has seen and will spend a lifetime denying
Dwight D. Eisenhower — Ford's old rival from West Point, now overseeing something strange in Nevada... a site known only as "Area 51"
Randolph Carter — lifted directly from Lovecraft's own writings, a time-displaced agent who has been present at key moments of Ford's entire life, and may know how it ends
Build your squad before deployment, then adapt when every plan collapses. Use cards, weapons, relics, covers, destructible terrain, and class synergies to survive brutal turn-based missions against cultists, beasts, and multi-phase bosses.
Every mission affects public awareness. Move too slowly, and the cult completes its ritual. Move too aggressively, and the truth spills into the streets. Victory rarely comes clean, and every choice leaves a mark.
Between expeditions, restore sanity, treat injuries, expand headquarters, interrogate prisoners, research forbidden knowledge, and promote operatives through distinct classes, subclasses, and builds.
Explore hostile regions filled with hidden rooms, branching events, strange merchants, rare discoveries, and consequences that follow your squad back home.
Hand-drawn creatures, pulp comic shadows, cinematic music, and a twisted historical narrative bring this haunted America to life.
The cult is moving. Your agents are breaking. Lead them into the darkness or lose them to it.
