About This ROM Hack
Pokémon Darkness Falls is a dark, story-driven Pokémon FireRed ROM hack centered around nightmares, dreams, and legendary Pokémon manipulation. The hack introduces an original storyline where Darkrai becomes the focal point of a regional crisis, blending classic Pokémon gameplay with darker lore elements inspired by later generations.
The game is currently in an early version (v0.11) and should be treated as a pre-demo experience, focusing on story setup, atmosphere, and early gameplay systems.
Story Overview
A criminal organization known as Zamrat has taken control of Darkrai, seeking to awaken its Primeval form—a transformation said to rival even Arceus in power. Darkrai’s Shadow form already poses a massive threat, spreading relentless nightmares across the region and tormenting its inhabitants.
The legendary Pokémon Cresselia, guardian of peaceful dreams, reveals an ancient legend: the energy required to unlock Darkrai’s Primeval form was sealed long ago inside a mysterious stone. Through a prophetic dream, Cresselia contacts you and entrusts you with stopping Zamrat before Darkrai’s transformation becomes irreversible.
With the Nightmare Lord drawing closer to your hometown, you set out on a perilous journey. The fate of the region—and the balance between dreams and nightmares—rests on your actions.
