Walkthrough

Since 1996, computer games featuring hot babe characters have been popular because of the “Tomb Raider” franchise. Now the bleak world of “Blade Runner” gets it’s hot babe lead with Ren Silver in the new computer game Legacy: Dark Shadows. If you are in need of a “Blade Runner fix”, this game is it. It has the rain, the flying cars, everything that made Blade Runner cool, Legacy has too.

Legacy: Dark Shadows is a sci-fi adventure game in the like of Blade Runner and its kind. It’s been awhile since new cyberpunk adventure game filled with androids and robots has been released and this game was worth waiting for.

This is a walkthrough and guide for : Legacy: Dark Shadows developed by Razbor Studios. I intend for this guide to be as comprehensive and useful as possible. As already stated, this is a walkthrough - it’s not an entire strategy guide. I will try to go into as much detail as possible and consequently, you will find spoilers. However, each section should be independent enough that you may read one section without it spoiling a future section.

If this is your first time playing an adventure game, I first highly suggest that you complete or attempt to complete the game on your own first and use this guide only as a reference tool when you are stuck on a certain aspect of the game. I will also try to explain the mechanics of the game as well as I possibly can, but reading the game manual and getting some in-game experience are the best ways of becoming acquainted with the mechanics.

I hope you enjoy the game and find that this guide is useful. Feel free to distribute to anyone who would benefit from reading it.

The left mouse button is used for interacting with the environment in a number of ways. Left-clicking anywhere on the screen moves Ren as close to that point as possible. Clicking the right mouse button in the game window will open her inventory. The left mouse button’s default appearance will change in some places, called Hot Spots, meaning interaction with the environment is possible.

Clicking the left mouse button in the inventory window will replace the default cursor with the selected item allowing it to be used in combinations with places or objects in the game window. Right click will trigger a description of an object.

Pressing Space during dialogues will exit the current line of spoken dialogues and switch to the next line of dialogues. Pressing ESC while playing will call up the main menu.

Gameplay: The game comes on 3 CDs. The game can be played without the CD in the drive. This is one nice feature of the game, it installs complete to your PC’s hard drive.

Please note that the game’s manual is in .pdf format and is found in the program file after installation. It connects to Legacy’s homepage. This means simply that you will not find a game manual in the box at all or on the CD’s. During installation, a readme file does appear with some useful information on it.

The main menu has new, save, load, options, quit and later resume to continue with the game. The options menu has selections for subtitle, description, brightness, and music volume controls.

On the game screen, the menu button is at top right and new item for inventory is on top left. Right click of the mouse shows the inventory. Left click on the item takes the item out of inventory. Right click again returns the item to the belt and closes the inventory.
