Have you ever wondered what could happen if time travel was a
reality? Have you ever thought about the possibility of going
back in time to rewrite history for the better? That possibility
is a reality in Darkest of Days, where players will travel back
and forth through the annals time to relive some mankind's most
dire hours. By fighting through terrible events such as The
Battle of Antietam, the bloodiest conflict of the Civil War, and
both World War I and II, the player will attempt to save certain
key individuals who were never meant to become involved in these
truly monstrous events and thereby change human history for the
better.
In Darkest of Days, you take on the role of Alexander Morris, an
unlucky foot soldier who gets transferred to General Custer’s
regiment days before the Battle of Little Bighorn. Moments
before his inevitable demise, a futuristic time agent warps in
to save Morris and transports him to the future where he is told
that time travel is now a reality. However, an unknown faction
is attempting to re-write history for their own benefit. Your
job is to stop them, and you’ll fight your way through eras
spanning thousands of years to do it.

Brand New Engine: The dedicated team at 8monkey Labs has
created an all-new, groundbreaking game engine known as
Marmoset. The Marmoset Engine not only breaks from the
all-too present Unreal engine FPS clones flooding the
market, but also allows for some amazing graphical
capabilities. You’ll fight through epic battles filled with
literally hundreds of NPCs on the screen at the same time,
all with an advanced AI and all without a hint of graphical
slowdown and all set against wide-open environments that are
lushly detailed and dynamically lighted.

Compelling Storyline: Darkest of Days is a compelling,
action-packed first-person shooter to be sure, but it’s not
just mindless run-and-gun, blow ‘em up gameplay. You’ll have
to not only think about how to approach certain key battles
and situations, but you’ll also have to take care when
fighting – certain key people that were never meant to die
will be marked with a special blue aura. If you kill them,
you’ll face dire consequences…

Wreak Havoc with Future Weapons in Antiquity: Something
nearly every gamer that’s ever played a shooter based in the
past has always wanted is the ability to bring a futuristic
weapon back through history and kick some major butt. How
differently would Custer’s last stand have turned out if the
General was equipped with an M-16 assault rifle? You’ll be
able to answer questions like this in Darkest of Days. While
not every battle and situation will allow you to wield
weapons from the future, there will be plenty of
opportunities for you to unleash futuristic fury on your
unsuspecting foes.
