A Point-and-Click horror Adventure Game created by Cyberdreams (the same people that would eventually create the Mind Screw known as I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream) and released in 1992, Dark Seed is based on artwork created by H. R. Giger. The main plot is that of a man named Mike Dawson, a namesake and look-alike of the game's own lead designer, who has moved into a fancy estate in a small town. He soon finds out that it's not all it's cracked up to be, and he ends up trying to save the world in three days from a race of evil aliens called the Ancients. Oh yeah, did we mention he has an alien embryo in his head?Dark Seed was followed by Dark Seed II in 1995, although this time Giger and Dawson weren't involved. | |

Violation of Common Sense | |
| Dark Seed (Video Game) / int_1b2b1d2c | comment |
Violation of Common Sense: To solve a puzzle, you have to steal a gun from the police station after being released from jail, then walk into the Dark World police station with the gun. If you walk in without the gun, the guard shoots you, but if you have the gun, he locks you in jail. | |

Unwinnable by Design | |
| Dark Seed (Video Game) / int_1bd4c0bf | comment |
Unwinnable by Design: A particularly cruel example. There's many ways to make the game impossible to beat, and most of them are not immediately obvious. | |

Headache of Doom | |
| Dark Seed (Video Game) / int_222446a4 | comment |
Headache of Doom: Mike Dawson wakes up with a terrible headache, and discovers to his horror that the cause is an alien embryo that will burst out of his head and kill him if it's allowed to fully develop. | |

Sleepyhead: If night falls in the Dark World, Mike will automatically curl up on the floor and go to sleep. Unsurprisingly, this nets you a game over. | |

Nintendo Hard: Oh yes. There's a strict three hour time limit, tons of death traps, many, many ways to make the game unwinnable, and most of the in-game hints are cryptic to the point of uselessness. | |

Ambiguous Time Period | |
| Dark Seed (Video Game) / int_7eb2bc15 | comment |
Ambiguous Time Period: The games are fairly vague on exactly when they take place, but II has an oddly "Fifties" vibe, with the design of Mike Dawson's mother and Jack's Fonzie-like shtick, along with the prominence of a carnival in the games plot, although pop-culture references made within the game do ground it in the early nineties. | |

Dull Surprise: The CD version of the first game added voice acting, leading to Mike narrating everything in the same nonchalant voice, from washing up in the morning to wandering around a Dark World full of monsters. | |

Solve the Soup Cans: All over the place. For instance, to get the stick mentioned in All Animals Are Dogs above? You have to buy a bottle of scotch, so you can meet your neighbor who is throwing a stick for his dog to fetch. Give him the scotch, and he leaves with the dog, leaving the stick behind. | |

Title Confusion | |
| Dark Seed (Video Game) / int_cfeb01b3 | comment |
Title Confusion: Both this game and its sequel are often incorrectly referred to as "Darkseed" due to how the word marks for both games are designed. It's particularly noticeable in the sequel's case, where there's a space before the number, but not in "DARKSEED"... | |

Your Head A-Splode | |
| Dark Seed (Video Game) / int_e0789c2a | comment |
Your Head A-Splode: Mike makes this claim in the first game if you don't get him some headache medicine (see page quote), although it never actually happens; if you waste enough time to let the embryo escape, it actually escapes through his mouth - and relatively cleanly, at that. | |

"Get Out of Jail Free" Card | |
| Dark Seed (Video Game) / int_f142296a | comment |
"Get Out of Jail Free" Card: A very literal one. Its use is required to win the game. Items placed in your real-world cell will transfer over to the Dark World jail's cell, and since your inventory is stripped when you're incarcerated in the latter, those items will be the only inventory you get to finish the game. However, staying in a cell overnight wastes one of your three days, so an early exit is mandatory. | |
