Dark Hours: Prologue

In this co-op survival horror prologue, one to four thieves are trapped in an auction house when a supernatural event interrupts their heist. Players must contend with creatures inside the building while trying to complete their objectives. Explore the auction house for valuable loot and mission items, solve cooperative minigames, and get past security systems such as lasers and cameras. Some tasks require teammates to work together, and the building’s layout offers different ways to reach objectives. Choose equipment such as a lock-picking set, hacking device, flashlight, or crowbar, and use found items with your team. Carrying more loot makes you noisier, so balance stealing with staying hidden. Escape through the exit or hide from the creature until morning.

A supernatural event traps a crew of thieves in an auction house; steal valuables, evade monsters, and work together to escape.
