If you have come across a file named DarkAndDarker.rar today, proceed with extreme caution:

The game is now officially back and available through legitimate platforms like Steam , the Epic Games Store , and the developer’s own launcher ( Blacksmith ). There is no longer a need to download the game via third-party RAR files.

The file is most commonly associated with the period when the dungeon crawler Dark and Darker was removed from Steam due to legal disputes between developer Ironmace and publisher Nexon.

Because the "torrent era" of the game was so popular, many malicious actors created fake DarkAndDarker.rar files embedded with malware, keyloggers, or trojans.
