That will be the first thing I will try if I manage to install the game properly and find its exe file.
Thank you in anyway.

Try to use that with the installer executable too. I remember some games in whose installation it actually helped.

I'm assuming this version is without the cutscenes, right? Is the story understandable at all without it?

Some of the people in this thread say it's not.

you don't have to install the game. Go into the darkseed folder and scroll down untill you see dark0001. Then double click to open it.

this game is similar to "5 days a stranger", but with much more better graphic. But it looks darker in game! I like this game

Hi. I'm having a slight problem...

When I tried to play the game, it said the file was missing and needed to be located. I found it, but then I got an error saying it needs to be run on a certain resolution, but I told it to go on anyway. It errors out. So I turned my resolution to 800x600, the lowest, and the game starts... sort of... I get no image, but if I hit esc it asks me to save the game. I've tried running it all the compatabilities and colors, but nothing seems to work. Any idea what I can do?

I'm using windows XP, by the way.

when i run the setup file after extraction it only istalls a config file and it wont work help?

I've wanted to play this game for so very long. It slipped past me when it was first released, so I was so overjoyed when it got put on the hallowed database of Abandonia - but then I actually started playing it, and it's kind of, well, how shall I say.... underwhelming.

The story seems to be a bit weak - but maybe I'm missing something enlightening without being able to see the cutscenes (but that's not a problem, I understand the under 100mb rule, ) it's just that even if the cutscenes were included I don't think it would get much better.

Oh well - it's a shame that this one would have been better left in my imagination
