The stories are as follows: Cat & Mouse: A detective on the trail of a Christmas Eve serial killer is led to an abandoned amusement park, there he must go through all the traps and avoid the killer's sudden attacks to apprehend him.
Ghost Writer: Players take the role of a writer who has a deadline of 5 days to finish a new book.
The writer receives a mysterious CD through the mail and after installing it, he starts getting nightmares and if he survives through them and wakes up, he finds a part of the story being written for him.
The Honeymoon: A newlywed couple is being chased by a mysterious driver in a police car.
Will they manage to survive and avoid the driver? The game features full motion videos with most games not featuring any people on screen.
Gameplay involves making choices on what to use or where to go to at set periods of time, quick-time events where players dodge attacks from their stalkers and traps as well as shooting segments where players try to shoot their enemies with a limited amount of ammo.
Each story has multiple endings and successive playthroughs or game overs will allow players to skip the videos they've already seen.
The Honeymoon story has the most endings and after unlocking each ending features flashbacks which give hints to players how to unlock the endings they haven't seen yet.
About PlayStation
The original PlayStation (1994) brought CD-based gaming and 3D graphics to the mainstream, ending Nintendo's console dominance of the previous two generations. It's now firmly in "retro collecting" territory: original jewel cases with intact manuals command a real premium over disc-only copies, and several RPGs from its later years (when Sony deliberately courted the genre) are among the most expensive commonly-collected games from the era.
Gamevaro tracks Dark Tales: From the Lost Soul for PlayStation with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Dark Tales: From the Lost Soul to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This PS1 release dates back to 1999.

Rarity & condition
Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Dark Tales: From the Lost Soul, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common PlayStation titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
