Dark Seed II continues the nightmare of Mike Dawson where the designs of H.R. Giger are pivotal in this horror point 'n click adventure. Players will be swapping between the Normal World and the Dark World, with 75 prerendered 3D locations in total. There are 40 characters to interact with. The goal is to overthrow the Behemoth of the Dark World and cut through the corruption of the Normal World. Movement, action and dialogue interaction modes are toggled between using the right mouse button, with the full screen used for location display unless the game menu or inventory bars are called into use. Dark seed II continues the unending nightmare of Mike Davison as he recovers from a nervous breakdown from his earlier encounters with The Ancients. Back in his hometown, mike's high school sweetheart, rita, is found murdered after the high school reunion. Unfortunately, mike has no recollection of the events that night, even though he was seen with rita. Mike becomes the prime suspect and now must work to clear his name. In digging up the dirty little secrets of his neighbors, mike unwittingly stumbles into the "dark world," a place he thought he would never see again. The Ancients have returned to exact revenge on mike and unleash an evil entity into the "normal world" to destroy mankind. As Mike Davison, you must clear your name and stop The Ancients from carrying out their most ingenious scheme yet. Ariesps
