This product is like new. At NexWave Games, like new means:
Additionally, all discs at NexWave Games are carefully inspected and assessed for quality. When discs arrive, we do not accept any that are so badly damaged that they are unlikely to work. We only accept discs with light scratches at most. Discs with scratches are then treated in our professional disc repair machine. By warming the disc and polishing it with soft brushes, these machines can remove a very thin layer from the disc. This removes the layer containing surface scratches and improves the disc’s readability. This ensures the disc works properly, even on consoles with ageing lasers that have difficulty reading games! Great news for the player.
2Dark for PlayStation 4
2Dark is a stealth-horror game in which detective Smith tries to rescue abducted children from serial killers' hideouts. You view the grim rooms from above, extinguish lights, distract enemies and manage limited ammunition and batteries. The children must leave alive, but panic and noise can quickly ruin a quiet route. This Steelbook edition does not change the PS4 game content.
The campaign builds each situation around clear objectives, enemies or obstacles and controls that you gradually learn to master. Difficulty comes from timing, positioning and intelligent use of available resources. Exploring, trying again and choosing another approach often achieve more than haste. The fixed content on the disc therefore matters most. Any network features are mentioned only as historical options, not as services guaranteed to work today.
Between missions you earn points that improve campaign abilities such as reloading, resistance or equipment. The story is played alone. Exo Survival is a separate section in which soldiers fight waves of enemies and earn new equipment. Network play, leaderboards, downloadable packs and used Day Zero codes are not guaranteed with a pre-owned copy. The complete campaign on the disc is therefore the main feature described here. This keeps the platform, controls and edition clearly separate from later reissues.
Region and language
Our PlayStation 4 games are PAL editions and come with a Dutch or English box, unless stated otherwise. By default, you receive the version for the European market. We note it in the product details if the region is different or the box is in another language. In almost all cases, the game is playable at least in English, and often in the other five common European languages too.
Manual
2Dark for PlayStation 4 was originally released without a printed manual. This edition therefore does not come with a separate instruction booklet. Its absence does not mean that an item from the original packaging is missing.
Instructions for the controls and rules are provided in the game. Any additional leaflets or advertising inserts are not manuals and are only included if stated in the product details. We use the label “No Manual” for copies missing a manual that was originally supplied. You should therefore not expect a printed booklet with this game unless a special edition explicitly states otherwise.
The history of 2Dark
Gloomywood developed 2Dark under Alone in the Dark creator Frédérick Raynal. Bigben Interactive released it for PlayStation 4 in March 2017. Its compact stages combine puzzles, stealth and survival without online play. The metal case is a physical edition; the campaign remains the same as in the standard version.
This physical release preserves a defined version from its original console generation. Later expansions, patches, servers and reissues may have added or changed features, but are not attributed to this disc. Its original design choices and technical limits belong to this edition. Developer, release period and platform were therefore checked separately. Differences in controls, presentation and accessories between consoles are also stated where they affect what can actually be played.
