Dark Prophecycombines a 400 page reading experience with a hour-long film (directed by Anthony E. Zuiker and starring Dan Buran,Justine BatemanandMichael Ironside), an interactive experience that moves readers from passages in the book, to the ‘cyber-bridge’ videos, to other features like collecting bios and evidence.
The story follows Steve Dark, a crime-scene investigator, as he tracks the “Tarot Card Killer.”
As one encounters bios, there are options to skip additional information, or view other biographical content about Dark, the nightmare-inducing White Sqweegel, and other characters in the story.
Moving through the story, following Dark on the trail of the Tarot Card Killer, interactive tarot cards present themselves which, like the characters and the balance ofDark Prophecy, are superbly creepy.
Dark Prophecyoffers three versions of the novel with a single purchase:
