Dark Seed II
(Cyberdreams, Inc.; 1995)
"DARK
SEED II offers a much better and more full-bodied
adventure [than its predecessor]. The artwork is
still gorgeous--rendered Super VGA graphics in the
normal world and Giger's grotesques in the Dark
World. But now a substantial game supports the whole.
DARK SEED II is not inventory-driven, as so many
graphic adventures tend to be. The focus is story,
exploration, and careful observation, not collecting
objects. You'll need to talk to people and then
talk to them again (and yet again) once you've sorted
out more of the plot... The result is a deep and
intricate involvement with the adventure. When you
play, you play passionately, learning the game terrain
as though you lived in it. DARK SEED II will absorb
your full attention... DARK SEED II is a classic
graphic adventure that improves on its predecessor
in almost every way. **** "

"The
plot thickens as more and more clues come to light
(or dark, as the case may be). The puzzles are difficult
at times, easier at other times, but always challenging...
If you think that a character is acting weird, that's
because they are weird. More than one person in
this game is running a few sandwiches short of a
picnic... the style of characterization only adds
to the feeling that something is horribly wrong
in your little hometown... All told, DARK SEED II
is a marvelously macabre piece of dark work..."

"In
addition to offering more images and greater resolution,
the game promises more chills and thrills than its
popular predecessor... DARK SEED II takes Giger's
terrifying visions to a whole new level... this
DARK SEED is a frighteningly good time for all."
