Who are the confirmed Dead of Darkness 2 characters?
Only characters named or described in official text are listed here. Names and relationships come from the Steam store page.
| Character | Role | What is confirmed |
|---|---|---|
| Jun Takehara | Protagonist | Lives in a trailer in the Appalachians in 1985; finds a wounded little girl while hunting |
| Felton | Ally | Old veteran, close friend of Jun’s deceased father; promised to look out for Jun and is a grandfather figure to her |
| The wounded girl | Unknown identity | Found in the woods; has no memory of who she is or how she got there |
| Two policemen | Unknown | Arrive at the trailer minutes after Jun brings the girl home; described as suspicious |

How big is the cast?
The Steam page says the game features a cast of 28 characters, each with their own story tied to the larger mystery. The first game advertised “more than 15 characters”, so the sequel’s ensemble is clearly larger — see sequel vs original.

Which characters can I play?
Character switching is confirmed: you can “seamlessly switch between up to three characters during certain sections”. They use different positions to solve puzzles, conserve resources and outsmart enemies, and a shared item box lets you exchange items. Which characters are playable beyond Jun has not been published. For mechanics see gameplay features.

Where are the rest of the characters?
Not announced yet. We will add each name only when an official source confirms it. Read the story and setting page for the plot context.
