Darkseed 1992 Cyberdreams
Hints
GENERAL TiPS------------ (1)
Dark Seed is unusual in that time dictates the whole pattern of
play.Certain strategies will only work at certain specific times,so
don't beafraid to try the same thing more than once during the
course of the game.
(2)
There are two worlds that you have to contend with - the Normal
world andthe Dark World. These two worlds are not seperate entities
but parallelplaces where what happens in one can have great effect
on what happens inthe other. In fact,many places in one world are
mirrored directly in theother. The important ones are as
follows:
Normal World Corresponding Dark World Location Location
-------- --------
Living Room Nursery Front of House Front Of Hatchery Car Alien
Starship Library Archives
Prison Cell Dark Prison Cell Secret Rooms 1&2 Turbo Lifts
1&2
(3)
It is advisable to save your game frequently, and certainly at
the end ofeach day. Saving a game before Mike goes to bed means
that you can go backand do something that you may forgotten to do
during the course of the day.
(4)
Not everything around you is immediately apparent. Try using the
questionmark cursor and move it all around the room. When it turns
into anexclamation mark you know you have found something
interesting.
(5)
A most vital point to note,and one which may frustrate to a
certain degree,is that it is not what you as the player knows that
is important. Dawsonmust learn things for himself before he can do
or find certain things forhimself. For example, you will not be
able to find the car keys in thecellar until Dawson has visited the
Keeper Of The Scrolls on day Three,even though you know that they
are there.
MAPS----
Although most rooms/locations in the Normal and the Dark Worlds
havespecific objects or purposes, there are some that exist merely
fordecoration. Don't,for example, spend a day and a half trying to
get intothe Barber Shop,even though you seem to be able to do so.It
is also worth bearing in mind that it is not enough simply to
simplyvisit each location once and check it out,never to return
again. Much maybe revealed at a later visit.But then,that is the
way with a strange game!
Have fun.... And Good Luck!
