Look, I can’t fly a plane, and I’d definitely be a lousy co-pilot. And maybe a lousy stewardess. But I’ve seen enough episodes of Unsolved Mysteries to know that under no circumstances should you fly and/or swim through the Bermuda Triangle. In fact, don’t even look at it, or you just may find your name on the tongue of one Mr. Robert Stack. I’m getting nervous just talking about it …

Clearly, Dark Void’s protagonist Will didn’t watch much late-night television in the late-80s, because that’s exactly what he does. When our hero crashes his plane in the Bermuda Triangle, he finds himself trapped in an inter-dimensional portal called the Void, where he bumps into an ancient alien race known as The Watchers. As it turns out, Will’s not the only one caught in the Void, and he soon finds himself aligned with other trapped humans, known as The Survivors.

Depending on which side of the sci-fi spectrum you tastes lie, the slightly shaky premise of Dark Void may have already lost your attention. But beneath what on the surface appears to be a run-of-the-mill third-person action shooter that melds on-foot and air-combat lies a game mechanic that may forever change how we play cover-based games.

Hit the jump for more information on why you should care about just how dark this void is.
