Hellnight (or Dark Messiah in Japan) is one of the more overlooked titles on the PS1. It’s a title way ahead of its time.

deSpiria Translated Playthrough (popomocco):
I’ve covered several oddball horror titles on this channel. Hellnight, or known as Dark Messiah in Japan, is another one to add to that collection.
It’s one of the strangest, most engrossing games I’ve played in some time. It’s a title that makes the most out of its modest budget and the technological constraints of the PS1. The first person perspective, combined with low polygon count and draw distance, gives the player plenty of room to fill in the blanks.
With a constant pursuer throughout with little means of defense, it’s a title well ahead of its time. A horror game a decade before titles like Amnesia: The Dark Descent made this kind of horror popular.
The plot throws you into terrifying scenarios from a wide variety of influences. Yet, it never loses a sense of cohesion with what Hellnight throws your way.
While released in Japan and Europe, it never saw a North American release. Sales were low with a wide range of review scores. It’s a game well worth your time.
Much of Hellnight’s DNA you can find in games to this day.
