What a way to wake up.
Black Ward: Empty Chambers is an interactive horror comic and spiritual successor to the creator’s prior comic Silent Hill: Promise, itself a Fan Sequel to Silent Hill 2. Black Ward uses comments as Adventure Game style prompts to move the story forward.
Black Ward updates daily on weekdays for the most part, and began in November of 2020.
The story follows Amnesiac Hero Callahan Westchester as he makes his way through the dark and mysterious ‘Black Ward’, searching for his brother and encountering twisted monstrosities.
