The Darkness is a 2007 First-Person Shooter based on the comic series, developed by Starbreeze Studios. The game follows Jackie Estacado, nephew of don Paulie Franchetti, and hitman for the Franchetti Crime Family. During his 21st birthday, he inherits the evil known as the Darkness, which grants him abilities beyond his wildest blood-spattered dreams. Among these is the power to summon Darklings, little gremlin bastards that act somewhat as his multiple tiny alter-egos that are mostly interested in spouting off politically incorrect commentary and humor, but can disembowel an enemy at a moment's notice if Jackie commands it. Before Jackie first manifests the Darkness, Uncle Paulie betrays him and marks him for death, leading Jackie into a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.A sequel was released in February 2012, developed by Digital Extremes and taking place two years after the first game. Jackie is now the head of the Franchetti Crime Family, and has managed to suppress the Darkness. However, when a mysterious group known as The Brotherhood attacks him looking for the Darkness, he must unleash it once again.For tropes exclusive to the source material, see here. | |

Tempting Fate | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_15b2cab3 | comment |
Eddie Shrote also counts, since he thinks it's a wise a idea to taunt Jackie over the murder of Jenny, which is just Tempting Fate, considering that Jackie has the Darkness on his side, and Shrote is well-aware of that, but decides to continue to taunt Jackie anyway, because he is (over)confident that he can easily defeat Jackie, and to say he is horribly mistaken is a complete understatement. | |

All There in the Manual: The origin story for Anthony Estacado is explained in a special comic book issue published at the same time as the game. Reading it sheds a lot of light on the nature of the Darkness and Anthony's character that is otherwise left completely unexplained in the game. Fortunately, the book is viewable in-game as an unlockable extra. | |

Neighborhood-Friendly Gangsters: In the sequel, Jackie's family are foul-mouthed and amoral, but don't do anything too evil on-screen. Even Jackie's pretty amiable, so long as you aren't at the business end of his guns or demon arms. But with that said, anyone can look good compared to The Brotherhood.

Multiple Endings | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_1aa08f77 | comment |
Multiple Endings: In the second game. The last time Jackie visits the asylum, he can either choose to stay with Jenny or jump off a ledge. Either one is still a Downer Ending, but the former is more of an And I Must Scream moment, because it means that Jackie has become the puppet of The Darkness. The latter turns the whole game into a "Shaggy Dog" Story. | |

Poor Communication Kills | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_1c445e86 | comment |
Poor Communication Kills: Instead of threatening and assaulting Jackie, the Darkness could have easily just straight out told him "Hey, Jenny's possessed by the Angelus, and if you free her it will most likely leave you stuck here in Hell, return to the Earth, and force Jenny to murder thousands of people, including most of your mob buddies". Then again, given how many Blatant Lies it'd fed Jackie over the course of the game, he wouldn't have any reason to believe it. | |

Scary Impractical Armor | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_25956bc1 | comment |
Scary Impractical Armor: Most Brotherhood soldiers wear Darkness armor that covers their face and only their face. It makes them look scary and does protect against headshots, but does absolutely nothing to prevent them from being shot anywhere else in the body. About the only thing it's good for is giving you a lower kill score by making it harder to get headshots. | |

Nightmare Fetishist | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_2969dda7 | comment |
Nightmare Fetishist: Johnny Powell seems truly fascinated by some of the relics that Jackie brings back to the penthouse, calling the soul-destroying Abysmal Maw "dark magic at its sexiest," referring to the Dark Man statue as "this sexy guy," and upon seeing the Sister of Light, he remarks that Jackie always brings him the nicest things. That said, he does get a little bit agitated around some of the more visceral artifacts, and sounds quite disgusted when he reveals that the Reliquary of the Blessed Blood is supposed to contain Jesus' foreskin but in reality, it contains the foreskin of a guy named Miles from South Hammingtonshire. | |

The Bad Guy Wins: By carrying out his vengeance, Jackie sacrifices his soul to the Darkness. Exactly what this entails, however, isn't quite clear. You are not given the option to spare Paulie. Paulie quite literally gets the last word when he says he hopes Jackie rots in hell forever before dying. This also happens in the sequel. Jackie frees Jenny from the Darkness, but she reveals that she's the new host of the Angelus, the Arch-Nemesis of the Darkness, and traps Jackie's soul in Hell. | |

Sequel Escalation | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_391d6577 | comment |
Sequel Escalation: The first game is primarily a mob revenge story, where the protagonist just happens to have supernatural powers. The Darkness is very much an Outside-Context Problem for the mobsters you spend the game killing; only a single antagonist, Captain Shrote, seems to recognize that Jackie is receiving supernatural assistance and takes measures to counteract it. The sequel has Jackie pitted against the Brotherhood, a wealthy, heavily armed, magic-wielding cult army that fully knows what the Darkness is and is much better prepared to battle and capture its host. Jackie, in turn, is now the head of his mafia family and has a decent number of goons of his own. | |

Psychopathic Manchild | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_3ae6199a | comment |
Psychopathic Manchild: Paulie is pretty much an overgrown Spoiled Brat who will resort to threats and violence if he doesn't get his own way and will not take no for an answer. It's also mentioned he chopped off someone's toe over a disagreement over a baseball game, which further shows how petty and childish Paulie is. | |

| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_3d1fbeb3 | comment |
Virgin Power: Implied to be averted, in contrast to the comic version. In various points during the second game, Jackie references conversations he had with his own father, who, if judging by the rules established in the comic, would not be alive to converse with. Jackie is still a Celibate Hero, however. | |

Humans Are Bastards | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_3d4d3dc9 | comment |
Humans Are Bastards: It is implied that the Darkness wasn't originally evil, but having to deal with human hosts for millennia (what with their wars, and greed and sickness) has driven it insane. Though this is learned in the Darkness' own realm, so it could be just another Mind Screw on its part... | |

Bittersweet Ending | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_40cc0c7e | comment |
Bittersweet Ending: About a hair's breadth away from a Downer Ending. Jackie finally surrenders himself to the Darkness during an eclipse in order to take out Paulie and his army of mooks. Jackie's personality is consumed entirely by the Darkness, but he's given a few moments to see Jenny one last time before he goes. It's implied by the "light in the darkness" lines that it may not be completely over for him, either... hopefully. However, according to the sequel's intro, Jackie has managed to suppress The Darkness in-between games. The ending to the sequel mirrors the original; a horrible entity is taken down, another entity is free to do whatever the hell it plans on doing, and Jackie is screwed. At least the Angelus is a much better Eldritch Abomination compared to The Darkness. Maybe. | |

Cold-Blooded Torture: The Brotherhood's attempts at getting Jackie to surrender the Darkness involve a lot of this: the first time , they crucify him and then force him to watch as one of his friends is executed. The second time, they shove him into an iron maiden; once they succeed in extracting the Darkness, they light a fire under the iron maiden and try to cook Jackie alive. | |

Alternate Continuity | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_450c5a85 | comment |
Alternate Continuity: While the first game was mostly based on the first story arc it changes some things like Jacky being in a relationship with Jenny Romano whereas the comics he considered her a sister (at least at the beginning of the comic). Frankie Franchetti also didn't try to assassinate Jacky and kill Jenny until much later after Jacky gained his powers. The sequel also changes The Brotherhood Of Darkness into a group that was once noble turned evil while the comic always portrayed them as assholes. Jenny also became the The Angelus, which never happened. | |

Useless Useful Spell | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_4c709317 | comment |
Useless Useful Spell: The game lets you use a couple of types of automatic weapons, but all firearms are useless compared to the One-Hit Kill properties of the Darkness powers (particularly the whip and the black hole). Guns are mostly a fallback for when there's too much light for you to use your Darkness powers. The Darkness II places greater emphasis on gunplay, complementing it with The Darkness' mostly melee-based powers. For example, the Black Hole is now effectively an enemy drop grenade, instead of an AOE spell, so to speak. However, getting close to the Black Hole as it explodes can also kill you. | |

Downer Ending: Jackie manages to free himself from The Darkness and rescue Jenny's soul from hell, complete with touching reunion... and then The Angelus - which had been kept there by The Darkness as well - shows up in the after-credits epilogue, co-opting Jenny and returning to Earth to enact some seriously righteous smiting while essentially condemning The Darkness and its host to their fate. Jackie doesn't even lift a finger to counter her, and winds up stuck in hell for the time being, once again separated from Jenny. | |

Not Wearing Tights: Jackie never sports his costume from the comic series. Many other supernatural elements are also cut. This has the effect of making the supernatural elements actually more impressive when they do show up. The second game introduces a skill tree system including the comic book "Darkness Armor" as an upgrade. When the Angelus finally does make an appearance, she looks exactly like she did in the original comic. | |

Nostalgia Level: A small example. As mentioned above, the first level of the sequel has you revisit the Canal St. subway station from the first game.

Pragmatic Adaptation | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_603f1a80 | comment |
Pragmatic Adaptation: The game more or less takes what works about the Darkness comics and runs with it. One change they made is making Jackie weak to any light, not just sunlight, which arguably improved the experience as a whole (allowing savvy villains to pose a threat to Jackie as long as they have floodlights or flashbangs). Jackie also doesn't have his Top Cow-ian "Darkness Armor", just a black trench coat with lots of Darkness-tendrils popping out of it while using his powers (though the sequel adds the "Darkness Armor" as an option upgrade.) | |

Uncle Paulie Franchetti is a Bad Boss whose men openly hate his guts, and he keeps making increasingly bad decisions over paranoia about Jackie. All of Jackie's misery is a result of Paulie's actions, and the entire first game is spent with Jackie coming for Paulie's head. Paulie is such a Dirty Coward that he throws everything he can into stopping Jackie, none of which helps him; if anything, Paulie's ever-increasing desperation makes more of his men turn on him. | |

Our Zombies Are Different: The Undead soldiers in the hell inside the Darkness's mind. The Hun are typical monstrosities, but the Brits are fully aware, stuck fighting the same war for centuries while unable to die. Most disturbing is one of the first soldiers you meet, who's endlessly trying to commit suicide by shooting himself in the mouth over and over in between reciting poetry. There's even a little sign that indicates that he's in a designated spot for it. | |

Boring Yet Practical: The pistols have pin-point accuracy even when fired as fast as possible, and you're tripping over spares for most of the game. Zoom in, aim for the head, and you can take out a bunch of enemies while saving energy you would have otherwise used on a black hole. The first Darkness power, Creeping Dark, can move further with each level, and the NPCs are notoriously incapable of hitting it. Furthermore, after making a kill, you can eat the heart of your victim to refill Darkness energy to full. This combination makes it possible to clear entire rooms without entering them through most of the game. | |

Hyperspace Arsenal | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_9c7e3137 | comment |
Hyperspace Arsenal: Jackie does not reload his pistols or SMGs. He drops them and pulls out new ones. This is shown when you notice different types of pistols in his hands, or when one of your SMGs suddenly has a silencer. This trope is played straight when you realize that each "clip" in your arsenal is actually a different gun, and you can hold more than 2 dozen pistols and SMGs in your coat. Then again, it's most likely justified here, as Jackie may well be keeping the Darkness under his coat, providing him with an actual pocket dimension to store said guns. Averted in the sequel. Jackie is limited to two one-handed firearms, which can be dual wielded, and a single two-handed firearm. | |

Dramatically Missing the Point: A very complicated and double-sided case happens during the conversation between Jackie and “nurse” Jenny. Jackie is suspecting that the Darkness is keeping him and Jenny stuck in the asylum, but becomes agitated when Jenny responds how she doesn’t understand any of what Jackie’s saying. However, the ending reveales that it was actually Jackie who was missing the point during that conversation – “nurse Jenny” was just a projection of the Darkness, along with the rest of the asylum, and in order to find the real Jenny he had to die while in the asylum. | |

He even offers his condolences when a hitman loses someone. It's a notable contrast to the complete self-serving monster his predecessor was. The other members of the mob family seem to universally agree that Jackie's the better boss, as they show way more respect to him than they did to Paulie. | |

Weirdness Censor: For a good portion of the game, no one in the cutscenes actually acknowledges that Jackie has a demonic entity on him, and he doesn't mention it in them either. The first time it's explicitly mentioned is by Shrote, which just happens to be in the cutscene where Jenny is murdered. He also seems to recognize Jackie's weakness to light. Weird how he managed to find his two biggest vulnerabilities at the same time, huh? | |

Nice Job Fixing It, Villain: The ending sees that the Darkness accidentally hindered its own plans. By trapping both Jenny's soul and the Angelus inside of itself, the Angelus found a host, allowing them to break free after Jackie finds them. | |

Stupid Evil | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_affd30b0 | comment |
Stupid Evil: Paulie's downfall at the end of the first game is a direct result of his own despicable behavior, such as mistreating his own men (who end up turning against him), killing them or abusing them for the slightest of reasons, and committing atrocities such as blowing up the orphanage and killing Jenny while Jackie is Forced to Watch. Eddie Shrote also counts, since he thinks it's a wise a idea to taunt Jackie over the murder of Jenny, which is just Tempting Fate, considering that Jackie has the Darkness on his side, and Shrote is well-aware of that, but decides to continue to taunt Jackie anyway, because he is (over)confident that he can easily defeat Jackie, and to say he is horribly mistaken is a complete understatement. | |

Cuckoo Nest | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_b4322cd7 | comment |
Cuckoo Nest: In the sequel, several segments take place in an asylum where various characters show up in different roles (including the Big Bad as a doctor and your girlfriend as an orderly). In this case, you're outright told by a sympathetic party that the asylum is just a construct the Darkness is using to keep you from going to Hell to save your dead girlfriend. Late in the game, you're given the choice to stay in the asylum, or jump to your "death"; the latter leads to the final sequence of the game. In an interesting and amusing twist, you can find The Darkness comic books in your room, implying that you made the whole thing up after reading the comic. | |

The game subverts this to some degree in that the Mooks generally will still try to shoot you, but the dialogue that goes along with most scenarios consists of panicky yelling about what you are and how to get rid of you (or get away from you). In one scripted scene, dozens of them are screaming in terror and trying to run away while Jackie in fully-powered Darkness mode hunts them down and brutally eviscerates them. | |

Kryptonite Is Everywhere: Light again. The Brotherhood has been fighting the Darkness for centuries, and have gotten good at exploiting this: at one point, they booby trap a chokepoint with at least a dozen floodlights, incapacitating Jackie and allowing him to be captured. The collectible Relics show that there are actually a surprising number of artifacts capable of harming and defeating the Darkness (or at least the Darkness Host), despite him being a walking Humanoid Abomination Physical God. | |

Also, the Darkling makes a surprise appearance as a human janitor, the only key to his true identity being his hunchback and Cockney accent. | |

The achievement in the Vendettas campaign for killing a guy named Luigi is called "Burned Down The Mansion." One of Jimmy Wilson's combat dialog after killing multiple enemies in Vendettas is "Don't make me crabbit. You won't like me when I crabbit." Some of the mooks in the Vendettas mode will call Inugami as Jackie Chan. One of Jackie's skill tree upgrades is named "Gun Kata. | |

The Unfettered | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_d839c530 | comment |
The Unfettered: Shoshanna of the Vendetta campaigns reeks of this, primarily, specifically of types 3, 4, and 5. She is consistently the most focused of the group, wields a weapon, wields a family heirloom weapons that no one has wielded past the age of 30, and is unflinching in fighting the Brotherhood with her Darkness powers. | |

Have a Nice Death | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_d933263 | comment |
Have a Nice Death: Depending on when and where you die in the game, you're treated to a series of warped, distorted images of the next location in the game while the Darkness hisses something cryptic, usually about how it's not going to let you die. IN the final parts of the game It's Jackie instead who talks. | |

Failed Attempt at Drama | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_d9563969 | comment |
Failed Attempt at Drama: Occurs twice in succession in first game for some bathos. The corrupt Chief of Police gets a power drill ready to drill into Jackie's head for some Cold-Blooded Torture, complete with the one-liner "There may be some discomfort"... and the drill comes unplugged. The Chief walks over, plugs it back in a little closer, and tries again. The second attempt works, as the drill messes Jackie's face up to hell and back, but then the drill jams. This prompts the frustrated chief to yell "Chinese piece of SHIT!" and throw the drill away, leaving his henchmen to try and keep Jackie intimidated while he fiddles with the broken drill. | |

11th-Hour Superpower | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_e5066b68 | comment |
11th-Hour Superpower: Of a kind: In the last stage of the game, Jackie mounts a one-man offensive against Uncle Paulie's island fortress. The attack begins at daylight, which would seem to be a stupid move on his part... except that an eclipse is due, and as it progresses, Jackie's power spikes. Lightbulbs start shattering by his mere presence. Subverted by the eclipse both empowering Jackie and weakening his control over the Darkness, which starts to manifest without his control and causes him to black out several times only to wake up surrounded by mutilated bodies. By the end, all it takes is one more murder for Jackie to surrender completely to the Darkness. | |

Hate Sink | |
| The Darkness (Video Game) / int_e5fd8bc2 | comment |
Hate Sink: Uncle Paulie Franchetti is a Bad Boss whose men openly hate his guts, and he keeps making increasingly bad decisions over paranoia about Jackie. All of Jackie's misery is a result of Paulie's actions, and the entire first game is spent with Jackie coming for Paulie's head. Paulie is such a Dirty Coward that he throws everything he can into stopping Jackie, none of which helps him; if anything, Paulie's ever-increasing desperation makes more of his men turn on him. Captain Edward Shrote is an irredeemable Dirty Cop of the first order who abuses his good publicity so he can do evil things behind closed doors. In addition to being a sadistic and unrepentant scumbag, he shamelessly helps Paulie with his plans (blowing up the orphanage Jackie grew up in, kidnapping Jenny as bait to lure Jackie), as well as covering them up. He spends most of the game trying to slow down Jackie's efforts to get to Paulie and generally making things consistently worse than they already are. However, what makes Eddie especially loathsome is how he callously taunts Jackie over Jenny's death before engaging in some Cold-Blooded Torture on Jackie. | |

Blue-and-Orange Morality: More than anything, one gets the impression that the Darkness simply does not understand how people work — physically or mentally — beyond their capacity for receiving and causing suffering. Hell, the Darkness expected him to be pleased after it forced him to watch Jenny be murdered because this would "make him stronger" and it seemed utterly bewildered when he chose instead to kill himself. | |

No Good Deed Goes Unpunished: One of the Relics you find in The Very Definitely Final Dungeon, is "The Ashes of the Unnamed". In a case of Exactly What It Says on the Tin, it's the ashes of a Brotherhood member who saved the world by releasing the Darkness from the Brotherhood's control, preventing them from destroying the world. The Angelus's response? Kill It with Fire up to eleven, so much so, that said Brotherhood member was Ret-Gone. His ashes are all the remains of him on Heaven, or Earth. | |

Evil Is Petty: Just about all of the evil things Paulie commits is done over an incredibly childish reason. For starters he tries to have Jackie killed all because he questioned the way he does things and later blowing up the orphanage Jackie grew up in just to further spite him. He is also mentioned to kill people if they look at him the wrong way or if they disagree with him over something (such as a baseball game). | |
