It is a third-person psychological horror action-adventure video game that was released in 2002 for the GameCube. Being the first M-rated of the Nintendo, it distinguishes itself with unique features. Players take various characters' roles as they fight with a strong entity who wants to make humanity its slave. The story revolves around Alexandra Roivas, who inherits her Uncle Edward Roivas' estate. She finds some pages of The Tomb of Eternal Darkness that bring a supernatural tale of each historical character's fall into madness. The Tomb of Darkness is an enchanted spell-book that encloses the chronicles of the previous characters' adventures, and each generation of the family comes into contact with the book. Ancients, the evil forces, want to harness the book's power and take control of the world. There are twelve playable characters, and their adventures take place during different periods, so the game takes place at several points in history. In each chapter, the players play a different character. The characters have involvement in the mystery, and their stories are in the book. As Alex explores the estate, she solves various puzzles and fined artefacts to unlock more levels. Players get to get into multiple roles such as a doctor during World War I, a firefighter, an architect, a monk, and more. Alexandria Roivas, the last family's bloodline, ties all the stories together.
The game provides a flawless gameplay experience. The twelve playable characters have unique weapons and ratings for magic, health, and even sanity. The players control each of them for some hours and then switch to another. Each character has its traits, like younger ones can run briskly and for long periods while the older characters quickly run out of breath. Understandable! Some characters rely on magic while some on combat. The hand-to-hand combat has a targeting system that allows the players to focus on the precise body parts of enemies. The key to success is to find the weak spot of the enemy. Players can use the melee system, swords, or guns to target. The magic system alters the gameplay considerably. The players select from one of three alignments. Depending on the chosen alignment, the players establish their dominant spellcasting ability. When the players take control of a character initially, they won't be able to use magic until they find The Tome of Eternal Darkness.
