Lovecraftian Adventure for Windows
Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage is a downloadable adventure game published by Iceberg Interactive under model 37553. It continues the story of detective Howard Loreid through a horror setting inspired by H.P. Lovecraft. The Steam code activates on Windows systems from 2000 through 7. Buyers in blocked regions such as RU, CN or IR cannot redeem the key.
Light Load on Legacy Hardware
The game runs on a 1.8 GHz Intel Pentium or equivalent AMD processor with 512 MB RAM and a 256 MB DirectX 9.0c video card supporting Pixel/Vertex Shader 3.0. A Radeon X1600 meets the minimum video requirement. Sound and input rely on standard DirectX 9.0c peripherals. Thermals, noise and power draw follow the host PC’s own profile.
Fits Older Builds with Steam Access
A Steam account and 3 GB of hard-drive space are mandatory for activation and installation. The download package removes the need for a 4x DVD-ROM drive. No modern OS, multi-core CPU or high-capacity memory is required. Builders targeting Windows 8 or later, or those without Steam access, should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How do I install the game code on Steam, and what step do people often miss?
Create or sign into a Steam account, choose Activate a Product on Steam, enter the code, then download and install the game; the step often missed is ensuring the Steam client is online before activation.
Will I need to renew or replace the Steam licence for Darkness Within 2: The Dark Lineage later?
The licence is perpetual once activated; no renewal or replacement is required unless the Steam account itself is closed.
My PC meets the minimum 1.8 GHz CPU and 256 MB video card, so what limit will appear first during long play sessions?
The 512 MB minimum RAM (1 GB recommended for Vista) is the first bottleneck; extended sessions may cause swapping and stutter on systems at the minimum.
