Discover the secrets of the ancient pyramid in Pathways into Darkness. Battle monsters, solve puzzles, and confront the Dreaming God in this classic first-person adventure.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    The player is a Special Forces operative sent to stop an ancient god from awakening.
  2. 2
    A parachute failure separates the player, leaving them with only a flashlight and survival knife.
  3. 3
    The pyramid is filled with monsters created by the awakening god, who will fully awaken in five game days.
  4. 4
    Gameplay blends first-person shooter and RPG elements with survival horror conventions.
  5. 5
    Players must solve puzzles and converse with dead individuals via a magic yellow crystal to gain information and strategies.
  6. 6
    Combat requires careful resource management; monsters respawn, ammo is scarce, and players move at similar speeds to enemies.
  7. 7
    Health is regained by resting (which speeds up time and leaves the player vulnerable) or by using rare blue potions.
  8. 8
    The yellow crystal for communication with the dead can be used infinitely.
Tips
  • Conserve ammo and health, as they are scarce.
  • Be cautious when resting, as it accelerates time and exposes you to attack.
  • Save blue potions for critical moments, as they are the only way to cure poison.
  • Utilize the yellow crystal to gather clues and learn enemy weaknesses.
  • Explore thoroughly to find hidden items and points that increase health.
