22 itemsAbout the Game
The Dark Book is an old school action RPG, you won't be the usual champion of justice who wants to save the world from the bad guy, here you'll think about saving your skin, or rather, your bones!
You will play a skeleton that will be brought back to life thanks to the magic of the dark book, you will find yourself in Don Slawen Town, a small stronghold unknown to you, you will only remember your name and should investigate how and why you got a new life.
You will talk with Characteristic NPCs that will make the story deeper and deeper and full of mysteries that will help you in your main mission, find the dark book and who used it to bring everyone back to life and find out why he did it.
The character will favor hand-to-hand combat with melee weapons and you will rarely find magical weapons with which you can inflict more damage on your enemies such as goblins, demons, cyclops and other strange creatures. Don't forget to use some magic to recover health or deal unexpected damage to enemies.
Hit enemies repeatedly and you'll get your adrenaline pumping to unleash a special attack that will deal much more damage than a normal attack.
In the world of Morghoth you will not find human beings, they became extinct a long time ago, but you will find many mysterious areas during your journey, dungeons, caves, crypts and much more, some areas are much darker than others but the further you go the your path, the more you will notice that the world around you is nothing more than the specter of what we know, everything seems abandoned and destroyed, but ancient spells hide the truth.
