Darkwatch

Darkwatch is a shooter set in the Arizona Territory in 1876. Players follow Jericho Cross, an outlaw who accidentally releases the vampire lord Lazarus Malkoth and is bitten by him in the process.

Jericho is conscripted into the Darkwatch, an ancient vampire-hunting order led by General Clay Cartwright. After surviving a deadly initiation trial, he undertakes missions involving the undead, Darkwatch equipment, and the fight to contain the Curse of Lazarus. He is joined by Cassidy, his undead horse Shadow, and other Darkwatch forces, including the dangerous Tala.

Jericho’s actions shape whether he struggles to preserve his humanity or embraces the darkness. The story concludes with a choice between Cassidy and Tala, leading to different final confrontations and endings.
