Last Half of Darkness is a point and click adventure horror video game franchise that began in 1989 with the DOS "early horror adventure" [1] video game Last Half of Darkness developed by SoftLab Laboratories. [2]
Other games in the series include: Last Half of Darkness II (1992), Last Half of Darkness III (1993), Last Half of Darkness (2000), Last Half of Darkness: Shadows of the Servants (2005), Last Half of Darkness: Beyond the Spirit's Eye (2007), Tomb of Zojir: Last Half of Darkness (2009), and Last Half of Darkness: Society of the Serpent Moon (2011). The final game was published by Iceberg Interactive. [3]
Gaming Lives said that the franchise "has many fans and offers traditional horror adventure gaming with some innovative 'hands-on' puzzle features". [4]
The 2000 game Last Half of Darkness was a remake that combined the first three games in the franchise. [5]
The franchise is based around adventure game mechanics; for example the first entry allowed the player to manipulate items using four verbs: Move, Examine, Take and Operate. It is very rare in the franchise for the player to interact with other human characters. [6]
Consisting of an investigative [7] and horror-themed series of plots, the games are based inside locations such as a haunted mansion where cases must be solved.
