The Lord and the Prince of Light tried to stop it, and they waged a great war. But the newborn would not accept the commands of the Prince of Darkness, and growing stronger, took part of his own essence and created terrible monsters and demons. He learned the secret language of Creation and tried to create a new being.
But the Prince held the unspoken desire of supplanting his Father. He gave to them life and thought, and so were born the Spirit of Light and the Prince of Darkness. The Lord created Chaos and divided it into two parts, the Light and the Darkness. The individual levels of the game bear a resemblance to diverse environments from the Middle East, Europe, Africa and South America under fictitious names or names with slightly changed spelling.
The game was released in North America and Europe for Microsoft Windows in February 2001, receiving generally favorable reception. Severance: Blade of Darkness is an action-adventure game developed by Rebel Act Studios and published by Codemasters.
