Last Half of Darkness

The 2000 game Last Half of Darkness was a remake that combined the first three games in the franchise.[5]

The franchise is based around adventure game mechanics; for example the first entry allowed the player to manipulate items using four verbs: Move, Examine, Take and Operate. It is very rare in the franchise for the player to interact with other human characters.[6]

Consisting of an investigative[7] and horror-themed series of plots, the games are based inside locations such as a haunted mansion where cases must be solved.
