Everdark

A mysterious realm consumed by eternal darkness...

Welcome to Everdark.

Everdark is an upcoming passion project: a point-and-click horror adventure game inspired by the famous Curse of Strahd D&D campaign. Built as an attempt to revive the charm and atmosphere of classic browser-based point-and-click horror games, Everdark combines old-school exploration with a dark, story-driven world. Take a lantern and explore the secrets that lie within. Fight your way through strange enemies, solve puzzles, and complete quests as you slowly uncover the mysteries of a cursed land ruled by darkness.
