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.
