'''''Blackout''''' is a 1997 Danish [[Psychological Horror]] [[Adventure Game]] created and produced by Michael Valeur and [[Deadline Games]], using puppets to tell a dark and disturbing story. The game came on three CD's and also contained a novel, providing additional information on the story from some of the side character's points of view. The story of the game proper starts when you, the main protagonist, wakes up in a room, having lost most of your memory, only to discover that the apartment also contains a headless body. You immediately have another blackout, and when you wake up again, the body and any traces of it are gone. Thus begins a search for your true nature, the cause behind your madness, the constant blackouts and the identity and fate of the body.
