Released in 2002 on the Gamecube, there have been few titles that play like Eternal Darkness - both in the horror realm and games in general.

From its narrative structure, to combat, to its magic system, and of course, its patented sanity system, Eternal Darkness does things differently, yet comes together into a cohesive title.

Eternal Darkness was made out of a partnership with a rising western studio, Silicon Knights full of promise, under the guidance of some of Nintendo's most notable staff.

Which makes revisiting Eternal Darkness such a joy and also a bummer. There was so much more this series and studio had to offer. However, this was not to be as the studio had a downfall in which they shot themselves in the foot instead of external meddling, something that's oh so common in the industry.

Let's take a look at what made Eternal Darkness a one-of-a-kind horror experience.
