Formerly holders of the keys, regulators of the flow of souls, they had no choice but to serve the cause, without failing. Princes or beggars, they were the guardians of the holy frontier between life and death, of the sacred gate, through which you can pass but never return.

He is the heir to the supreme guards of this frontier known as "The Gate" (an ultra-secret organization regularly sends him on the most perilous missions involving the paranormal). He is the chosen one.

Ekna is an exorcist monk. He is a higher initiate of "The Gate". This ultra-secret organisation regularly sends him on the most perilous missions involving the paranormal. His spiritual powers enable him to unravel the darkest investigations, confronting powerful horrors with his combat magic. Solitary, mysterious, he has learned all the fundamental knowledge of mental energy and masters the power of prayer.

Guardian of Darkness puts the player in control of Ekna, an exorcist monk, in paranormal investigations.

The gameplay is a mixture of genres, adventure, puzzle, RPG, shoot-em-up and action.

The first level starts with an investigation of an haunted museum. His assistant 'Edward Burnst' will train him how to use his different spells.

After each level, Ekna returns to his headquarters, the Tenebrans where he can get his orders from "The Gate" and get his specials weapons like grenades or energy power ups.
