First came the black, all-staining tides. Then the skies turned dark and all light dissapeared. Now, ten days later the situation seems dire. No help is coming and the only thing on the radio is a pre-recorded emergency broadcast urging people to get to safety. Some have fled inland, boats have become necessities and the unpredictable tides have made travelling on foot dangerous. The tides steal people, drown them into the depths. And something lurk beneath the surface. And it is hungry.

The Deep Dark is an intense, collaborative storytelling game that leans heavily on the themes of tragic horror and the opressive, ever-present threat of death. If hope, despair, inevitable failure and characters driven to the brink are something you enjoy, you are most welcomed to join this experience. Characters are created at the start of the game. The game includes and deals with heavy themes, to the inclusion of which the players do have some degree of control over. The game is played in a dimly lit/dark space.

Game slogan: Apocalyptic, tragic horror where no rescue will arrive and death comes for all, no matter how far you run.
