HEART OF DARKNESS

This action adventure game combines everything from beautiful graphics to engrossing gameplay. Andy is a boy, like any other, who happens to be afraid of the dark. When his dog Whiskey is snatched by the dark forces and Andy is compelled to come to his aid, the amazing world unfolds. After an elaborate, slick opening sequence, you're launched into one hell of an adventure spanning 8 evil worlds with 176 amazing locations adding up to over 45 hours of great fun. The spooky, eerie, individually detailed screens pose a range of obstacles from weird characters to tasks and puzzles. Sometimes it gets a little frustrating to get out of a hitch, but at least you don't have limited lives. Whether you're swinging, jumping, swimming or climbing, this game makes it feel as though you're in an animated
Indiana Jones flick.
