The Darkest Night is a graphical adventure game with a horror theme, set in the land of 'Tilorm'. The protagonist is a young anthropomorphic fox called 'Rolan', who is lost in a forest after an evening of heavy drinking with his friends, celebrating Hallows Eve.

While sleeping it off in the woods, he is awakened by a tattered and bloody yelling man, who comes running up to you, collapsing but managing to tell you of an evil cult trying to release the Demon Yaxagiraw tonight, a netherworld being who was imprisoned in an old Abbey hundreds of years ago, but who could be released again during Hallows night, when the souls of the damned are close to our dimension.

Having delivered his warning, the man dies and leaves you to prevent the cultists from achieving their goal.
