Pathways Into Darkness is a video game created and published by Bungie Studios in 1993. It was released for the Apple Macintosh.

Storyline

Pathways Into Darkness casts the player as a member of a Special Operations team on a mission to prevent an ancient god from awakening and destroying the earth. In order to succeed, the team had to enter an ancient pyramid in South America, reach the bottom level, and detonate a nuclear device in an attempt to "knock the god out". However, before the game begins, during the team's deployment, you are knocked unconscious, and seperated from the team. Eventually, you reach the pyramid, only to discover that the team has vanished, leaving in their stead a stream of horrific monsters, created by the slowly waking god.

Gameplay

The game's style is an unusual blend between that of the first-person shooter and a RPG. While much of the game consists of fighting monsters, a great deal of time is also spent solving difficult puzzles, and conversing with dead men, who know a few of the pyramid's secrets.
