Dark Seed (video game): Difference between revisions

* [[Foreshadowing]]: Done poorly in ''Dark Seed II'': Jack only appears every now and then to talk or help out and then leaves as abruptly as he showed up. {{spoiler|The only time he interacts with the other characters is when he punches out Jimmy, which only Slim and Mike witnessed, and the former claims it was actually ''Mike'' who punched him. Later on, this indicates him as the Shapeshifter as several characters tell Mike about the Shapeshifter's ability to temporarily come into the Regular world}}.

** {{spoiler|Mike's first nightmare in ''Dark Seed II'' ends with him seeing a reflection of himself turning into the Shapeshifter. And then later you realize that everyone in the game's regular world has a Dark World counterpart... except for Mike himself... and Jack}}.

** [[Slowbeef]] [http://lparchive.org/Darkseed-2/Bonus/ has interviewed one of the writers and] [[Shrug of God|he admits that they intentionally left it ambiguous]]. {{spoiler|Either Mike stopped the Ancients from taking over the world and discovers that Jack is not only the Shapeshifter, but his own Dark World counterpart... or the Dark World was really made out of Mike's crazy imagination and Jack is his other identity, implying Mike has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Either way, [[Shoot the Shaggy Dog Story|Mike is killed with a knife to the back and is framed for the murders]]}}.

* [["Get Out of Jail Free" Card]]: A very literal one in the first game. {{spoiler|Its use is required to win the game. Items placed in your real-world cell will transfer over to the Dark World jail's cell, and since your inventory is stripped when you're incarcerated in the latter, those items will be the only inventory you get to finish the game. However, staying in a cell overnight wastes one of your three days, so an early exit is mandatory}}.
