“Shadows of Darkness will always be my favourite of the series,” Lori says of the postponed chapter, which was finally released in 1993. “I got to incorporate all the horror movie tropes of vampires, werewolves, Edgar Allen Poe, and HP Lovecraft together with a very moving plotline.” Set in Mordavia, an Eastern European land with Transylvanian undertones, the creepy storyline saw the Hero facing off against the undead and the Dark One. Evil forces from previous games began to reappear, revealing the overarching yarn that the Coles had begun to spin back in 1989.
