Darkseed

Darkseed is the first game in the Darkseed saga. It was directed and produced by Mike Dawson, with artwork by H. R. Geiger. It is timed, and the game must be played precisely as puzzle solutions are time-based, and quite strict at that.

Story
Mike Dawson buys a mansion on Ventura Drive, in Woodland Hills, Los Angeles. On the first night, Mike has a nightmare about an alien emplanting an embryo into his head. He starts to get headaches and, while taking painkillers and showers every morning, he decided to look into the previous owner's death. He discovers that his death was because of the Dark World, ruled by the nefarious Ancients. While searching for clues, he meets a librarian, who Mike suddenly has a crush on.

On the second day, Mike discovers a mirror that travels to the Dark World. He goes through it and meets the Keeper of the Scrolls, a friendly Dark-Worlder. She tells him that the embryo emplanted in his head, the Dark Seed, if you will, will kill him and all of humanity. The only way of destroying it is by destroying the Ancients's power source.

On the third and final day, Mike comes up with a plan that eventually destroys the Ancient's power source, and to stop them from coming back, the mirror. Eventually, the librarian gives Mike pills for "severe headaches", most likely to kill alien embryos. Turns out that she is the Keeper of the Scrolls. Cue ending quote by Mike, game ends. Yay.
