What playing Dark Seed II is like

Horror games build dread through atmosphere, limited resources and enemies you would rather avoid than fight. Survival horror in particular makes every bullet count.

Tip for newcomers: Conserve ammunition and healing items, explore carefully, and play with the lights off for the full effect.
