Discuss story of the game: 00:15:58
Perfect Dark is set in 2023 against the backdrop of an interstellar war between two races: the Maians, who resemble the archetypal grey alien, and the Skedar, reptile-like extraterrestrials who use a holographic disguise to appear as Scandinavian humans. On Earth there is an ongoing rivalry between The Carrington Institute, a research and development center founded by Daniel Carrington that secretly operates an espionage group in league with the Maians; and dataDyne, a defence contractor corporation headed by Cassandra De Vries that secretly maintains a deal with the Skedar.
You play as Joanna Dark, a Carrington Institute agent who has earned the code name Perfect Dark by being the only agent to score perfect during the training. From here you follow a series of missions that include rescuing a floating laptop AI, a Maian alien named Elvis, rescuing your boss Daniel Carrington and being a bad enough dudette to save the President.
