Every store in this table quotes us in euros, so the EUR figure is the price the seller actually set, not our arithmetic — which is why EUR is also the currency we rank in. We only list an offer here when the store gives us its price in euros, so nothing in this table is a number we invented.
Pick USD, PLN, GBP, CAD or AUD in the header and we convert from EUR at the European Central Bank reference rate — converted amounts are prefixed with ~. Your bank or the store may apply a different rate at checkout. We never hide offers based on where you are: everyone sees this whole table.
We may earn a commission when you buy games through links on this page — at no extra cost to you. It never affects our rankings or verdicts.

About Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage
I spent a few hours with Darkness Within 2 expecting standard adventure-game puzzle-solving, but what I found was something quieter and more unsettling. You're Howard Loreid again, a cop unraveling his own connection to the supernatural horrors closing in on him. The game builds atmosphere through sound design and shadowy visuals rather than cheap frights, exploration feels deliberate, almost meditative, and each puzzle reveals something darker about Howard's lineage. It's a slow burn that won't appeal to action players, and the inventory-heavy adventure format can feel dated. But if you're someone who appreciates horror that trusts mood over spectacle, and you don't mind adventure games that linger on a scene, there's genuine craft here. The story fumbles occasionally, and the pacing drags in stretches, but it knows exactly what kind of game it is.
