The Dark half is an adventure
game based on the horror novel of the same name by Stephen King. You play
the part of Thad Beaumont who has an undeveloped twin inside him as the
intro shows you. Years later Thad is a succesful novelist writing under
the alias of George Stark but he is forced to reveal his true identity before
someone else does it for him. Symbolically he buries his alter-ego but that
night George Stark comes to life and commits horrible crimes everywhere
implicating you in the process!
The game is played with a point and click interface with your standard commands
much like the old scumm games from Lucasarts. Things like use, open, talk
to are used to interact with items and people. You quickly find out things
are wrong as the police suspects you in various crimes and murders and much
of the game is spend trying to gather evidence that you in fact did NOT
commit these crimes. At the end of a day the police will question you and
you will have to show evidence or talk your way out of an arrest. George
will come after you and your wife and you will have to run for your life
which isn't easy as everybody thinks you are a murderer. Throughout the
game sparrows play an important part in the story and you slowly figure
out they are the link between this and another realm, eventually they will
come for you but it will be up to you to figure out how to make sure they
take George and not you.
Graphically the game is pretty average, the closeups are quite well done
but the regular background and characters sprites lack detail. There are
some nice tunes that fit the mood well and some sound effects as well. As
an adventure game this isn't the best you can get but the game's not too
difficult and for an adventuring fix this isn't too bad.
Overal rating: 6.5/10
