Our take on ENTITY: THE BLACK DAY
The focused four-hour structure keeps the investigation compact, but it leaves less room for extended exploration, repeated campaigns, or a broader progression arc than longer survival horror games.
What is ENTITY: THE BLACK DAY?
Investigate an underground bio-research facility as Adam, a former special forces operative searching for evidence of a government-backed viral program.
The third-person survival horror game combines firearms, melee attacks, evasive moves, enemy executions, weapon unlocks, boss encounters, and limited medical supplies. Ammunition and crafting materials can be found throughout the facility and used to make additional rounds and health injections. Exploration covers laboratories, corridors, and storm-drain tunnels while Adam tracks two missing scientists and confronts hazards, puzzles, enemies, and unexplained events. Some puzzles combine clues from the physical world and the game environment. A standard playthrough is estimated at approximately 4 hours, and Adam’s interaction level can be customized.
