In the ancient legends the power of the universe is split into two aspects: Brahman is the force of truth and knowledge, while Atman is the energy of the human soul. Only through true enlightenment can they be reconciled. This enlightenment bears a terrible price, as Takahashi, a young boy haunted by the memory of his murdered father, knows only too well. For Takahashi is the living embodiment of Atman, and it is his destiny to face the forces of darkness alone.

Takahashi has left the carnage at Osaka behind, traveling with his murderous entourage of Hungry Ghosts. In his possession is one half of the golden seal of Yamatai, the only artifact that can summon Susano-oh -- The God of Darkness -- back to Earth. Close behind him is Kikuchi-ko, head of the powerful Kikuchi clan and the man who holds the other half of the Yamatai seal. Only when the two meet can the true nature of Susano-oh be revealed...

Nightmarish and complex, Dark Myth weaves a two-part tale of dark omens and creeping fear, as modern horror collides with a vicious and ancient mysticism.
