Some post halloween spookiness for you in The Last Half Of Darkness, an eerie point'n'click adventure. I think the supposed spooky atmosphere would be boosted a bit by the addition of some sound, unless it's just not working on the PC I'm at, which is perfectly possible, although I'm guessing to get sound you have to buy the full version which gets advertised alongside this freebie on-line version. I won't be rushing out to buy it I'm afraid. Well, actually, I'm not afraid, more to the point [via nordinho].

:Oh goodie! new game!~
Metal_mickey
:i don't know if i was just lucky...but that was a quick game! plus the list of commands didn't even load. i managed to complete it all the same
Rosie
:Right, off to play it......
Natas
:Third! - too quick and problems loading but good.
Rosie
:played it! but was too quick and hadn't loaded properly. There were no commands. Ok though.
Oddball
:Thank you! I was very let down at the end of the original Darkness. Let's just hope this one fairs better!
Ash
:Easy and not scary. The cheap scare at the end was stupid.
Lennart
:Boring!
Does not load properly.
Bad game playing.
Hmb
:Graeme, I have to say I do love the screenshots you use to entice us to play these games!
Shell
:I'm very disappointed with that game,it looked so promising with its good graphics. :(
Minxsy
:that ending made me jump!!!!
Graeme
:Hmb: Thanks! That's my artistic side coming thru! I'm just sorry that this particular game doesn't really deliver.
Metal_mickey
:it was ok, just a little bit short and obvious...not much of a challenge. i guess it just tries to get you to buy the real game...
Cristi
:I can't get a flower - can anyone help?
Happy-girl
:just push some buttons on the face-board in the crypt.
btw: gee that was an unexpected scare (i'm being sarcastic) at the end
Amanda
:Haha. I kinda jumped at the end. Well, I twitched. That was very easy.
Jeff
:Lame, with a cheap "scare" tactic at the end.
Silent Bob
:Pretty easy... you kinda knew a horror based game would go for a cheap scare at the end though...
BitterQ
:That was a little disappointing... I was held up by trying to find clues... silly me.
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
The flower is in the coffin...
And the end... the scariest part was when they asked for my money to buy the full version.
Was there any reason for the bedroom monster vision?
Suki
:really bad ending
Debra
:I've played it before... very disappointing.
Queen of Impefection
:I thought this game would be hella hard- but it was easy as pi-s gd little game though- I did predict the ending tho
Tafkam
:lol, i LOVE "there are the remains of an unknown fellow in the hall."
and "there is nothing interesting about that..." when i'm looking at someone's chopped-off hand.
Tafkam
:okay, i PICKED UP the key, now it tells me "The door is locked! A key might be necessary. [no!] I think you overlooked something on the entrance hall table."
so how do i "1. Select a command.... MOVE, EXAMINE, OPERATE or TAKE
2. Then... click on an object or doorway on main view screen", as the instructions tell me to? i don't have any commands...
-- oh, click on the object in inventory. so much for commands.
Toonafeesh
:The cheap scare did not scare. The game was not one bit scary. It was too quick. The only thing I liked is you can't use the tab cheat.
Tafkam
:all right, what's this about the attic? i didn't GO to an attic. was i supposed to? or is this actually as completely illogical and inane as it appears, and they're just throwing an attic in at the end to give themselves an opportunity to scare people?
i mean, i didn't check the refrigerator either -- maybe i should go back and look more carefully, there might have been some out-dated milk, or two-day-old pizza, or someone's whispering decapitated head muttering about being out of ice cubes...
Adam
:As poor a game as it was when I played it earlier this year.....leet
Adam
:Hahahahaha - I told them to search for Panda's Adventure on this site as that is more scary than their game.....leet
Anyone here from around Preston in the UK by the way?

:Also, everyone visit and sign up to www.bbc.co.uk/jamiekane

Singinbabe
:adam im playing that game right now!!! im really close to being done with it! im past greta being in jail and all that... im really sorry if i spoiled that for you!!
anyway after you finish the game it should say that you missed somwthing in the attic TURN YOUR SOUND OFF!!!!! there's a scream! it scared the crap outta me!!!!
Think~Pink
:Tafkam, there was an attic...(it's the screenshot Graeme used above actually). There is only a
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
treasure chest there, which you open with the key. I think you got the doll from there
As for the game, pretty much the same as everyone else. Looked great, but very predictable. I think my money will be staying in my pocket ;o)
BTW, I wouldn't have expected the scare at the end, if Ash hadn't mentioned it ><
FredFlinstone
:Didn't load right, there were no commands. Managed to bore myself anyway :(
Adam
:No Singinbabe, I completed Jamie Kane yonks ago. It is such a good game and no matter how much I petition Graeme, he won't put it on this site. All I can do is ask people to visit and sign up to www.bbc.co.uk/jamiekane , then you can all relate to people like singinbabe and me!!!!
Adam
:PS Anyone here from around Preston in the UK?
Tafkam
:Singinbabe, there's a walkthrough in the game. (in fact, it sounds a lot like the one you posted, lol.)
Think~Pink, i did go back and find the attic -- you have to click on the right place on the stairs, or it won't let you go upstairs. i just wanted to complain. ("everyone else was doing it!" "and if everyone else jumped off a cliff, would you do THAT too?" "sure, there'd be a nice soft pile at the bottom.")
but you can complete the entire game with no problem without bothering to go upstairs. in fact,
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
it's better, because you get exposed to less of that "poetry," which was the scariest thing about this game (at least until
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
SPOILER: (click box to reveal/hide)
it gets to where they offer to take your money, as BitterQ says).
Think~Pink
:...a nice soft pile, but a bit of a mess!
I stumbled across the attic by accident, before it told me to go back there. I wasn't even clicking there, well at least I think I wasn't, but then, there I was..on the attic stairs.
Tafkam
:lol, in retrospect that was the best part of the game, before i figured out that you have to click... and... then... wait... patiently... until it tells you "there's nothing interesting here," or even longer if it's opening a new scene.
like at the end i realized that i'd gone from the front porch to the upstairs bathroom and the bureau with the hand in it, without ever seeing the front hall or the upstairs hall or any of the rooms, because i clicked repeatedly. much more unsettling (and fun!)
so maybe that's why at the end it seemed to make perfect sense that i was being directed back to somewhere i'd never been. hell, anything beats having to read that poetry...
Think~Pink
:lol..aww...I thought it was quite charming ><
I loved how it stated...'the fireplace looks really old'. I don't know why, but it made me giggle.
Toonafeesh
:The scare at the end was so predictable in my eyes. I am used to getting stupid E-mails all day long with things that jump out though. Also, you couldn't click anywhere in the attic at the end.
P.S. The refriferator and the two-day old pizza----Classic
Tafkam
:i loved how everything was "creepy" or "eerie," when it was just dusty. meanwhile, the drains are stopped up with rotting flesh, and your only response is to turn the water off.
it makes no sense to congratulate anyone on "escaping" this house, since they should be committed to an asylum for staying inside longer than 90 seconds in the first place. and once you're out the back way and chatting with demonic little girls in the woods, why climb back inside the tunnel that's the source of the ancient evil (if not of the various corpses and skeletons and remains of unknown fellows that "can't help you now").
oh, that's right, you're initially interested in someone crying for help. whom you never find, and apparently lose interest in immediately once you see the full moon shining through the windows...
Singinbabe
:tafkam- yeah i know that's where i got it from but if they fifn't think to look there then at least someone posted it... and
adam- i just got the last email!!! with the credits in it.. it was tons of fun!! and by the way what's a yonker??
Chemical_junkie
:the cheap scare at the end nearly made me wet myself.
RUBI
:hey i can't take the rose help!!!
RUBI
:never mind!!! got it
Snadge
:The ending scared the wits out of me :)
MaNiAcO
:I know I played this game lots of times. I like this game so much I even downloaded it and I also know its website its www.lasthalfofdarkness.com
MaNiAcO
:And there a short cut!
Blue
:This game is easy. and not scary.
