Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem

Psychological horror adventure where you control twelve characters across 2,000 years of history—Ancient Rome to present-day Rhode Island—each fighting the same ancient threat. Combat uses period-appropriate weapons (gladii, flintlocks, shotguns) and a rune-based magic system for casting attack spells, dispelling illusions, or healing. The Sanity meter defines the experience: seeing enemies drains it, triggering hallucinations that mess with what you perceive as real. You restore sanity through finishing moves on downed foes or specific spells and items. The story connects all twelve protagonists through their encounters with these entities, jumping between eras as you uncover how everything links. Puzzle-solving involves both environmental challenges and the magic rune combinations. If you want horror that plays with your head rather than just jump scares, this delivers.
