Summary
IT IS THE DARKEST HOUR FOR HUMANITY!
The tides of darkness are rising as the ancient Egyptian menace Sutekh casts Metro City into chaos. But lurking within Sutekh's corrupt underworld is a hero unlike any the world has known—a vigilante who can vanish into the shadows like a ghost.
By day, this fearless defender blends in as just another face in the crowd. But when the sun sets, he dons a hidden identity to battle the sinister forces that prowl the midnight streets. Who is the man known in the headlines as Nightshade? The answer lies with you—for you are the hero.
Each night, you prove your worth as a true superhero, exploring 100 of the city's most dangerous locations, from King Rat's grimy subterranean lair to the notorious League of Unreasonable Gentlemen. There, you'll face thieves, thugs, and other lowlifes, either subduing or defeating them to uncover vital clues. But beware—there's another predator in the night. As you pursue Sutekh, he hunts you with deadly traps like the human printing press, walls of spikes, lethal jackal pits, and the icy blast of the freeze ray.
To survive these deadly challenges, you must track down powerful hidden weapons such as energy domes, force gloves, and The Staff of Ra. More crucially, you must use your intelligence to outwit five crime lords who guard the secrets to Sutekh's fortress.
Ultimately, the key to defeating Sutekh lies in your popularity—a vital energy that sharpens your mind to solve riddles and gives you the might to crush enemies and save the innocent. Remember: if this heroic power ever fades, you'll lose your grip on the night. And the darkness will claim you.
