Dark Seed is a horror point-and-click adventure game, based on H. R. Giger's artwork. You play the role of Mike Dawson, who just moved to a beautiful solitary mansion to pursue his dream of becoming a writer.

You'll soon realise that the place harbors dark secrets, and you'll have just three days to escape a fate worse than death...

Mike's story continues in the sequel Dark Seed II.
