Darkness Up North

About this game

The wilderness was supposed to be your escape.
It becomes your nightmare.

In this intense psychological horror experience, you journey deep into the remote forests of northern Canada in search of peace, solitude, and adventure. You play as a Canadian tourist from Edmonton, Alberta, finally free from the weight of work and family obligations. Drawn by the promise of breathtaking mountains and quiet isolation, you travel into the Canadian Rockies and settle into a lonely cabin hidden among endless trees.

But as night falls, something begins to feel wrong.

The forest watches.
The cabin remembers.
And the mountains hide secrets that were never meant to be uncovered.

As reality begins to fracture, you’ll experience unsettling psychological disturbances, unexplained events, and a creeping sense that you are not alone. The line between what is real and what is imagined slowly dissolves, forcing you to confront fears buried deep within your mind—and whatever lurks beyond the treeline.

Every sound, every shadow, and every decision matters.

Will you uncover the truth behind the forest…
or become another story lost to the mountains?
