Vampires. Plague rats. Snarky humor. Dying For Daylight has got it all. Fans of author Charlaine Harris are sure to love this mystery hidden object game from iPlay. You are Dahlia, a fashionable vampire who has been giving the task of hunting down the mythical Sun Potion. This unbelievable potion makes vampires able to go into sunlight, an invaluable tool (particularly for Dahlia, who wishes she could shop at high end stores, a basic necessity of life…er, death).
The author of the Sookie Stackhouse series of supernatural thrillers and inspiration for HBO's popular drama "True Blood," Charlaine Harris, is putting her eye for suspense toward an equally arresting subject: Video games.
Produced for iPlay, the fruit of her labor, downloadable PC puzzler "Dying for Daylight," features an original tale starring Dahlia, a wisecracking, fashion-forward vampire hunting for a potion that lets vampires survive in sunlight. A hidden-object game designed for casual play by both women and men, it aims to bridge the gap between paperback readers and gaming fans, leveraging Harris' gift for crafting clever characters and scenarios.
Now that she has contributed to one of a growing range of collaborations between the gaming and publishing industries, we asked Harris why critics haven't written the final word on interactive entertainment's potential to craft compelling narratives yet.
Neocrisis: Before going into Dying for Daylight, I was yet to find a point and click game that didn't get repetitive and that I could play all the way through. Unfortunately, I still haven't. However, I'm sure that this must be down to personal preference, as I did enjoy certain aspects of this Vampire-exploration game.
If you've ever wanted to play in the world of Trueblood, well, here is your game.
