Iceberg Interactive and WRF Studios announced today that they've joined forces to develop Last Half of Darkness: Society of the Serpent Moon, the newest instalment in the point-and-click adventure series for PC.
The game will be released in European retail and via digital distribution portals worldwide on 18th May, 2012.
CC: Iceberg Interactive has already created a trilogy of the Last Half of Darkness with the following titles: Shadows of the Servants, Beyond the Spirit’s Eye, and Tomb of Zojir. Now, they add an additional chapter to the mix with Society of the Serpent Moon. Having established a community for their murder mysteries, Iceberg Interactive has accomplished creating a thrilling atmosphere that brings point-and-click puzzlers back for more.
Author Joshua Moris of Capsule Computers writes:
"Perhaps one of the best attributes of the title are the artistic environments. Spanning from the deserted streets of a small French town to the inner workings of a cultist temple, the environments are deceivingly detailed. You will leave no crook, cranny, nor dog bowl untouched in this game!"
DHGF: Society of the Serpent Moon delivers a solid, mostly stable, adventure experience using some clever tricks with full motion video to go along with the static and highly detailed backgrounds that give the player a haunted, suspenseful experience that fans of the adventure genre will love. There are some interesting puzzles that take a bit of discovery and brain power to solve and overall I found the game to be a lot of fun. The only thing I think that might detract from people that like flashier graphics is that this feels much older than it looks from the animations to the actual visual look of the areas. It does seem to have a few issues running, nothing game breaking, but save and save often if you like to flip screens.
