Dark Seed #BestOfSaturn

A mid-1995 Japan-only release based on the PC original, the psychological horror Dark Seed is a point-and-click adventure in the style of H.R. Giger. As a successful executive, you wake up from a nightmare that a seed was planted in your brain and boy do you have a headache!

Compatible with the Saturn mouse, the gameplay is point-and-click, but the twist is that certain in-game actions are timed. It is entirely possible to put yourself into an unwinnable situation and have to restart the game.

The visuals are bordered and are stylistically somewhat monochromatic. A Japan-only release, the spoken dialogue is nevertheless all English, making this a relatively import-friendly title.

Peter Malek

A Saturn fan since the beginning, Peter plays Saturn almost exclusively. For Peter, Saturn represents a moment in time where 2D games were at their best, 3D was just rising, and fascinating gaming 'firsts' were commonplace.  There are very few Saturn games that Peter cannot find some enjoyment in!
