Brand new, in unsealed box. A rare find & ultimate addition to any collection. This vintage game works with both
Windows & Mac.
One of the rare games based on literature that "get it" right, The Dark Eyeis not so much a "game" as an electronic novel in the same vein as Portal : it is a melange of Edgar Allen Poe''s most famous stories, changing the characters'' names to fit an overarching plot while preserving the contents.
The game uses three classic Poe stories: "The Tell-Tale Heart," "The Cask of Amantillado," and "Berenice." You go through each story twice - first as the victim, and again as the perpetrator. As if that''s not creepy enough, the game also uses as a framing device an original story that is a very intriguing pastiche of Poe mythos.Gameplay involves clicking on various objects and people to trigger events to advance the story.
The game''s haunting atmosphere and style (with unique claymation actors) make it a must-have for horror fans.
