Status : Offline | The Dark Eye, like Bad Day on the Midway and Gadget, is from the brief period in the mid-1990s when folks were experimenting with the medium of multimedia. While not a traditional adventure, it's a good example of what the medium can do in terms of storytelling. Wouldn't part with my copy for love nor money.

| Deleted User | It's strange and contraversial.
A real fresh and differend approach. I Liked it, although I must admit that I didn't finish it.
It's best when you've read the stories, I think.

Is it this game that also was called Blackout ??? ???
It sure looks a bit like it. :-/
I played it years ago, and it was absolutely one of its kind. No def puzzels, instead it was more on the psycol. side, so to speek.
The only downside was the lenght(to short). But overall it was pretty good.
FOR THE MOMENT I AM PLAYING ON MY Win 7&&&&Recently Played&& ark Fall Lost Souls,Outcry,SH vs A Lupin,Tales of Monkey Island,Still Life 2,Sinking Island,Pandora Directive (RP),The Lost Crown

Reading the stories and poems will put you in the game more.

It doesn't really have puzzles. You just find things to click on to advance the story. You hear the thoughts of the character you're playing. You can switch between characters at any time. For me the description of the gameplay sounded more interesting than it actually was. But maybe you'll get more out of it than I did.
I do like Poe's stories and poems. But this game just didn't do it for me.

Status : Online | I really liked the game!!!! I agree that previous Poe's reading help to achieve a better enjoyment. Also, you should play it during night... Nevertheless, prepare ypurself for a great and thrilling experience...

Status : Offline | I sorta got turned off from even trying Dark Eye because of reviews that described it as not really being an adventure game to begin with!
The future ain't what it used to be!
