About This Game

Dark Gaze is a first-person 3D horror experience set in an obscure museum that stores an ancient artifact with an occult history.
Step into the shoes of curator Michael Harrell, the establishment’s new hire, who is about to take a new step in his career, or the last breath of his life...

“The artifact, often called the ‘Black Nazar’, was built during an ancient era in Mesopotamia by a group of sorcerers of the dark arts. One night the chief sorcerer was visited in his dreams by an entity claiming to be god, who commanded him to craft a divine artifact using materials from a fallen star. The artifact was to be the carrier that allowed the entity, a false god, to arrive in our world and establish a holy rule. But to fully carry out the commandment, the keepers of the artifact would need to perform dark and abominable rituals. The entity, trapped in the artifact, required a cursed object to latch on and incarnate into. Then, thirsty for blood and hungry for flesh, the soulless object would need a live victim to consume and slowly morph into organic form.

The sorcerer and his followers fervently obeyed the orders. They were convinced that with enough rituals, god would finally walk among humans and establish a righteous reign.
Once the artifact was constructed, brutal sacrifices terrorized the region and soon most of the sorcerers were apprehended and executed by order of the king of Babylon. The artifact was seized and hidden, never to be seen again.
The surviving sorcerers, reorganized in secrecy, continued to collect cursed items through the millennia, in hopes that they would serve as hosts for the false god once the Black Nazar was found again.

Thus, the organization ‘The Curators’ was born.
The Curators is the secret organization that has been in search of the Black Nazar for thousands of years. Its ultimate goal is to finally bring god to Earth and act as apostles during the holy reign.
In the year 2025 the Black Nazar returns to the hands of The Curators, after a villager stumbled upon it buried in an Asian desert.
Disguised as an occult museum, the main headquarters of the secret organization stores the Black Nazar and the cursed items collected throughout the years. An unsuspecting new curator is hired to care for the mysterious artifact. Now, The Curators have all the elements needed to complete a ritual.”
