Prelude to Darkness is a turn-based open-world role-playing game with an isometric camera developed by a team called Zero Sum. The most similar games that come to my mind are Arcanum and Fallout. However, unlike mostly light-hearted steampunk Arcanum and somewhat silly post-apocalyptic Fallout, the Prelude to Darkness is set in a sinister and gloomy world that is about to be torn apart. A world that is closer to a nightmare that starts as an average dream but slowly transforms into a strange and disturbing illusions. Although the game was released a long time ago and has an interesting setting, it has never caught an attention of gaming sites. Was it well deserved? Is Prelude to Darkness another indie game that is best forgotten?
