Project pageGames & game engines →

A native Windows x64 port of The Darkness (Xbox 360): the original executable is translated to C++ ahead of time and built with a Direct3D 11 renderer, keyboard, mouse and controller input, XMA audio, saves and achievement tracking.

Relationship
Independent reimplementation

Evidence scope
Upstream README describes ahead-of-time translation of the Xbox 360 executable to C++, Windows releases, features and Proton notes, and states that original game code, assets and binaries are not included. No REA involvement is claimed.

Know before you try
Requires your own legally obtained Xbox 360 copy as extracted files including the original default.xex; a disc image alone will not work. Linux runs the Windows build through Proton, where completing the opening tutorial was not confirmed. We have not independently tested it.

Status
Active; Windows releases

License
GPL-3.0
GPL-3.0 covers the project’s own code, not The Darkness or other rights holders’ property.
