Just when you sit back and think you’ve covered every conceivable thing a game company could pay money to borrow from someone else, you realize life, uh, finds a way (to remind you that, like John Snow, you know nothing). Case and point, Cyberdreams’ disturbing 1992 adventure game Dark Seed which built its foundation by licensing not a particular brand or person’s likeness, but rather an iconic art style. Sorry Art History majors: looks like Georgia O’Keeffe and Andy Warhol just didn’t have what it took. Maybe next time?"
It's time to get weird. We've rounded up some of the most bizarre DOS games out there.
Point-and-click adventure games were a staple of the early-to-mid 90s PC gaming scene, with some of the more memorable ones being in the horror genre.
I (Robin Ek, TGG) got quite excited when I found out about an FPS horror adventure called "Scorn", because the art style of "Scorn" has been inspired by H.R. Giger art work. Furthermore, the game looks and feels like a mix of “Aliens“, “Dark Seed” and “Dark Souls“.
I heard about the game just the other day, now I´m thinking about Prey, Tool and eXistenZ as well.
I thought about the band Tool as soon as I saw the first trailer for Scorn.
Awesome band that, the devs should ask them to make some songs for the game ;)
@TGG_overlord "I actually told Tool about the game via Twitter ;)"
What did they say?
Nothing yet, but I told the devs that they should talk to Tool about their game.
