Another random fact to file in the “things I never knew until I attend a video game demo”: According to The Darkness 2, an especially scummy brothel will set itself up right in the middle of an abandoned mannequin factory. Because nothing gets you in the mood to pay for sexual congress than a giant bin of discarded mannequin legs!
Bizarre location aside, The Darkness 2 can be off-putting for several reasons. It uses that “graphic noir” art style, which ultimately means that there are really pronounced outlines on everyone, and the colors on the textures of character skins tend to have a bolder (but odder) look to them. Besides utilizing a cel-shaded-but-not-quite art style, the other off-putting aspect is how The Darkness 2 isn’t from Starbreeze, but from Digital Extremes.
