I did not know about this.

I like H R Giger, I like Debbie Harry.

How did it take 'till 2024 for me to stumble upon this?

    Dark Seed 2 has totally ruined Giger's work for me.

      Dark Seed 2

      Jesus, that's a blast from the past. I don't recall it being the most immersive video game experience, Clive Barker won the weird 90's horror game thing.

        It's a truly bizarre game, mix of intentionally and unintentionally weird. It had a license to use Giger's art though and basically cobbled together all it's "dark world" characters and environments by photoshopping his most famous paintings together.

        For example - this is basically the background to that video clip, but in the game it's Ik and Uk - two guards with funny "dumb-guy" voices who give Mike Dawson the ol' "one guard tells the truth and one lies" puzzle.

          I just found the visual jarring and yeah it's weird, don't think I made it far. Might have to spin it up again, something my 2010 macbook can handle!

            I could never really get into it myself actually because gameplay wise it kinda sucks, it's very much one of those "use everything on everyone until you find a trigger that lets you move on" type adventure games. I mostly remember it from a couple of let's plays and I liked this retrospective a lot.

            There's one pretty famous let's play of it from back in the day, though there's a lot of 2000's era edgy humour in it, so I'm loath to really recommend it.
