Dark Matter 2.5D Survival Horror
Dark Matter is a 2.5D side-scrolling survival horror game set aboard a derelict spaceship infested with alien parasites. Players take the role of an Ensign exploring fetid corridors, scavenging parts and blueprints to expand an arsenal of up to four weapons. Each weapon can be freely customised to suit individual combat styles against intelligent, reactive enemies. The downloadable code activates on Steam for Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.
Steam DRM Download Requirements
The product is delivered as an online game code that activates through Steam DRM, requiring an internet connection for initial registration. Minimum system requirements include an Intel Core Duo processor at 2.4 GHz or better, 2 GB of system memory and 2 GB of hard drive space. Graphics must support Shader Model 3.0 with a 256 MB Nvidia or ATI card. Supported operating systems cover Windows XP or later, Mac OS X 10.5 or later and Linux Ubuntu 10.04 or later. Activation is blocked in several listed countries.
Sustained Exploration And Combat
Gameplay revolves around sustained exploration of abandoned facilities rather than short bursts of action. Players must manage limited resources while navigating dark corridors with a flashlight, triggering reactive enemy behaviours that escalate over time. Weapon customisation allows adaptation to prolonged encounters with parasites that swell and explode when provoked. The survival horror pacing rewards careful scavenging and strategic upgrades across extended play sessions.

| Feature 2 | Grinning in the dark, you turn on the weapon’s flashlight, and point it straight down the corridor. Predictably, the blisters swell up to full irritation, ready to explode at the slightest touch. The crawler turns to hiss at you, instantly aroused by the light, and your presence. In your mind's eye, it dumbly rushes forward into the blister pods to kill itself, saving you precious ammo. It takes a precious moment to adjust to reality when the sleek shape crouches and jumps towards you instead. There is time for just one panicked shot before the inevitable flight, as you run for your |

Questions about this item
Will the Intel Core Duo 2.4 GHz requirement bottleneck frame-rates during long play sessions?
The listed minimum processor is an Intel Core Duo at 2.4 GHz; any modern CPU above that clock speed will handle the 2.5D engine without throttling.
Does the Steam DRM client add noticeable background heat or fan noise while the game runs all day?
Steam runs as a lightweight background service; the game itself only needs a Shader Model 3.0 card with 256 MB VRAM, so thermal load stays low.
Must I already own a Steam account and a Windows XP or later PC to activate the code?
Yes — activation requires a Steam account and a system running Windows XP or newer, Mac OS X 10.5+, or Linux Ubuntu 10.04+.
