Demo played in XP-SP2. Looks good. I was surprised to find a bathroom that looks worse than mine.

Hi, I got an email from Bill since he was wondering why the demo wouldn't work on my 98SE. I didn't realize that I only have DirectX version 7.0 on that computer. It's probably because I only play older games on that computer and haven't needed to download v.9. I just wanted to clarify that because I wouldn't want him to lose business from WIN98 customers just because it didn't work on my computer.

Hi, I have a couple of questions before ordering (It looks like a great game, by the way): The website mentions bonus games or content, so does this game also include the first Last Half Of Darkness game? Also, the online version of the first game has static screens in first person viewpoint, and we chose verbs and then just clicked on each screen (and there were no hotspots). Will the sequel be like that, or will it be more like a modern game with lots of places to explore? I have dial up, so I hesitate to download the trailer, so any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Bryansmom: That demo has very few hotspots - there are more things to examine and explore in actual game. There is no Examine, Move, Use, Take verb commands - the cursor will simply change when something can be done. The bonus games do not include the first part of the last half of darkness - that can be found on other old DOS game sites.
It's sorta a new chapter in the "Last Half of Darkness" story.
Thanks Bill

teresa, what was the answer to the Canadian question?

Can one assume that there will be voice overs as opposed to actual dialogue in the game. I know it's sort of hard to talk to the cementary patrons (lol) but will there be at least a second person for our hero to talk to? I some how feel shades of Amber Journeys here.

Fil Fil, are you talking about the site certificate? I can't remember if I got that warning or not, but the credit card transaction itself was secure. Sorry Gimme, that wasn't helpful then. Since the game is being distributed by a one man band, Billy may just not have been able to handle all of us at one time. I'll bet you get it shortly.

Nickie, when I click Buy Now I get a message: The security certificate has expired or is not yet valid. When I click on View Certificate it has the dates 10-14-02 to 10-14-04. Does this mean anything? If no one else had a problem, I'll just order it, but I wanted to check first. Thanks.

Thanks everyone who has ordered the game! All orders are sent promptly - so if you didnt get a notice - you should still receive it soon. Not sure about the site certificate - You're getting transferred to PayPal's site at that time - I will look into that. ALSO... there is a patch to update to v1.4.1 - please install this patch (after you've installed game) if you have an earlier version - its not mandatory - however I want everyone to have the most enjoyable playing experience possible. (Sorry - but Im always seeing room for improvements) http://www.lasthalfofdarkness.com/patch.htm Thanks Bill

I have tried to get the little movie clip to run (the short and the long one) and after it loads and it says it is playing, it is just blank with no sound. Plus, I have tried downloading the demo, and it will not run for me. So now, I am wondering if this game will run on my computer or not. I have a Nvidia Riva TNT 2 video card. Is there a problem with that card for this game? My computer meets all of the specs listed for the game, but now I'm afraid to order it. Thanks, Beth

TLC, Don't leave us hanging like this. Give us a little preview like the graphics, settings, inventory...anything. I just can't wait until I finish TMOS so I can begin this game.

I'm not TLC, but I'll be happy to give my opinion of the game. The game is very very spooky and I found myself jumping in my chair even when playing during daytime hours! There is a lot of exploring to do, as you're in a big old mansion. The house reminds me somewhat of a homage to The 7th Guest, only with more scary spots and without those frustrating puzzles. There is a lot of inventory to find and use. The puzzles are not overly difficult, but there is this one maze you eventually will get to that is very hard. It is very neat how you get to the maze in the first place, a very unique idea. I still haven't gotten through it, and ended up with a big headache the one time I tried to navigate it. It looks like there are only 9 save slots, so you will probably have to overwrite previous saves. There are many things to examine on your visit, and not too many people to converse with. You pretty much only have to use the mouse, except when typing in a password or two with the keyboard. It's a "first person" game. I think the visuals are very well done, and the sound effects and music are excellent! I have not finished the game yet, but thus far, the story is very good, and things are falling into place so I know what is going on and what I need to do. I did have a really, really difficult time installing the game, I think I tried 4 or 5 times before it actually installed, but it was well worth the wait. The disc spun around for quite awhile before I could begin installation, and also the same thing happens when I'm getting ready to play the game--I have to wait a bit for the game to load. (I am running a brand new computer with XP,and SP2, and way more than the minimum specs, my video card is Nvidia GeForce 6800 GTO). Again, it's worth the wait. Bill has done a great job with this game, and I wouldn't be surprised if he gets picked up by one of the publishers after they get the pleasure of playing it! Now I just hope some of you will hurry up and start it so you all can give me a hand where I'm stuck in the hints fourm! Dawn :kiss:

Dawn, Thanks so much for that mini preview. I can hardly wait to play this one. I hate to hear about the maze but I am sure you or some other Boomer can help me find my way out or send over a saved game(lol). Well today is 1 March and maybe I will have it in my hot little hands by the week end. Thanks again for that very insightful review.

Rusty...yes, it's about monkey/creatures. I can't even begin to say how much I'm loving this game. I do believe I am nearing the end and I don't want it to stop. Totally awesome! Bill, you did GREAT! Ana

Thanks, Nickie! I was going to order the game, but I think I will wait to find out if it works with my video card. If it needs T & L, then it won't work. We hope to get a new computer this year, so hopefully it will still be around and will work with that one.

Hi Carole, I can relate, it was very hard for me to put it away the night I started it. I really wanted to stay up and finish it. I loved the game, it made me jump quite a few times as well and that is not normal for me. Enjoy your evening. I may just decide to replay it tonight. Ana

Nickie, did you ever get it to run--I was thinking of ordering for myself and MIL but if it is finicky to get to run--then perhaps not!

Thank you all for the kind words about my game! Im glad you are enjoying the game. (I may use some of the quotes) If there is enough positive feedback I may be able to present it to a publisher and distribute it in stores.
Thanks again. Bill

I did get a message (very quickly) after e-mailing the makers of this game regarding my technical questions. They said that T & L should not be necessary to run the game. They have listed some questions for me to answer about my computer's specs, to try to figure out why the video and the demo won't run on my computer. I think Nickie is having the same sort of trouble with the demo, so hopefully we will find out the answer.

Johnboy..I also order the game, and got confirm e-mail from paypal, and also the money was withdrawn from my bank account, but no, I didn't get an e-mail from billy that the game has been shipped yet.. I will wait, because I know billy is very busy with all the orders he has been getting and it is understandable if it takes a little while longer..But not to much okay Billy... I need a new game to play..and I am very anxious in playing this one...It's been a while since I have been anxious in playing a game..And this one looks promising... Liz

I ordered the game and got a confirmation from PayPal for the transaction, but I got no email from Billy. The game arrived yesterday and I can't wait to play it. Of course, there is no walkthrough for this game yet (I always need one as a crutch ) so I wonder how many times I'll be asking for help at the Hints Forum. Fil

Great TLC, thanks for letting me know. I hate being such a wimp about walkthroughs, but I just have to have one before I load a game. My security blanket apparently. Fil

Bryansmom and L4L, I have the game installed and running now and it usually plays beautifully. It is particularly sensitive to any programs running in the background. It is a lot of fun!

Speaking of great service, Bill has been working with me in e-mails, trying to figure out why I can't get the demo to work. Since my computer meets the specs, we have come to the conclusion that it is my dial-up connection having problems with downloading it. Bill has actually offered to write a small demo for me to try! I have written him and told him that I don't want him to go to that much trouble, and I am going to order the game tonight. If the game doesn't work with my computer that I have today, I am sure it will work with the new computer we plan to get this year. I think Nickie and I have similar computers, so the game will probably work with this computer. I'm just amazed at the great service and caring about his customers that Bill has shown! I'm now a permanent fan of any game he makes. Happy gaming, Beth Edited to add:

My game arrived today! I'm just waiting for my son to go to bed before I start the game, because he will be over my shoulder watching (and commenting) otherwise! Nothing like a 12-year-old boy watching over your shoulder to take you out of a game environment!

I have all of the lights off, so the only light is coming from the computer. I've been playing for about an hour and a half now. Just before I went online to write this note, I had a horrible scare!! I was in one of the bedrooms of the game, looking around, and happened to look down because I thought I saw a movement. There, next to my hand on the desk was a real SPIDER! I felt like I was nearly having a heart attack! For a second, I had to think of whether it was a real spider or part of the game! Wow! As if I haven't had enough scares from this game already!

Aw Happy, sorry you're having a problem. Have you checked if ANYTHING is running in the background? The game is really sensitive to virus protection, firewall, and if there's an activity center enabled (like mine is called hp center, for Hewlitt Packard). I felt really silly when I saw what a difference it made to turn all that off! I hope your problem is something simple like that, but if it isn't, please post and we'll try to figure out what's going wrong!

I had to disable my McAfee virus protection to get the game to install. I thought that it would be okay after that to turn it back on and run the game, but the game wouldn't run with the virus protection on, so I had to turn it off again. Just be sure to turn your virus protection back on after you've finished with your game playing session; especially before you go online! (If you happen to have McAfee, if you disable it, the letter "M" in your toolbar at the bottom right of your computer will have a black background instead of a red background. Make sure it is red again before going online).
Also, I found that since I just ordered and received my copy of the game, it was the most up-to-date version, so I didn't need the patch. So it's good to check the version you have before downloading the patch. You can check the version from the menu screen; I think under "credits."

You can check the version from the menu screen; I think under "credits." Very good suggestion.. AFAIK, the latest version is 1.4.3 (Yes :- under "Credits"). If you have that, there's no need to patch. Anything less is probably worth while patching ... it's only about 4MB. www.lasthalfofdarkness.com/patch.htm

My question is, is it a shoot-em-up (with all sorts of wacky weapons) or a good ol' fashioned horror thriller, along the lines of the Dracula series (Resurrection, Sanctuary, etc.).
Thanks! Goop

Hi Billy, I hope you are able to get a publisher because I would love to see this game in the stores. I just played the demo video and it looks like my kind of game! I don't order games online so I hope you will really try and get it in stores! Good Luck it looks terrific in the video!
