Heart of darkness

These fucks wanted it to be a m-rated game so bad. They probably wanted to keep it E-rated just to put this game into a damn cereal box. Also did anyone else get this from a cereal box??

Most sadistic game I've ever played.

why does amazing studio's logo look like a child love symbol?

Wish I did, would have been awesome. Love the 3D glasses that came with it. To be fair, if a game came out now that featured a kid getting eaten by all manner of nasties, it would receive a high rating.
But let's be honest, a game like that would never be made these days.

In fact, I'm surprised I'd forgotten how many darker-themed platformers came out around the PS1-era.

Examples? Can't really put my mind on anything else but HoD and Abe.

40 Winks
Cheesy
Rascal

hell, even Croc had a certain level of danger that you just don't get in games any more. Everything is too predictably heavy and gory now that it has no effect on any one.

I guess it was just that era when spookier shit was the norm.

Holy shit this looks like a blatant Tom and Jerry ripoff. And horrible to boot.

No, this is a blatant Tom and Jerry ripoff. It's not horrible.

I'm talking about this.

Your example is shit since it's not happening in a smaller scale world with big real life objects.

I wasn't contesting what you said, I was just posting something related in a tertiary way.

Apologias

Got it from the cereal box. Always felt like there was something suspicious about 99% of the deaths being about getting eaten.

Is there a list of games that have come in cereal boxes? I searched, but all I got was some forum posts and "Top X Cereal Prizes". Off the top of my head there's Chex Quest, Pajama Sam 1, and Heart of Darkness. If you want to do food in general, there's those Burger King games.

There's a game out there RIGHT NOW.
In this game a child is:

-Shot
-Throat ripped out by dogs
-Drowned by Sadako child monsters
-Stripped naked and then absorbed into a blob of flesh

And regardless of all of this it's widely acclaimed.
It's actually not a great game or anything, but inform yourself a bit before saying this shit.

I'm pretty sure any cinematic platformer would deserve something close to an adult rating, but hey, kids played those games even if the deaths are gruesome as fuck.

Oh and embed related contains every death scene on HoD.

Yeah, but is it a game for kids?

I miss my childhood. A friend of mine used to come to my house to play Heart of Darkness, I miss her.
Also, what's this genre supposed to be? "Cinematic platformers", they're pretty limited in what you can do, but that's cool.


Looks interesting.

If you want what is essentially a copy of limbo then sure, try it, but I think it has denuvo.

It does have Denuvo and its from the same dudes who made Limbo. The original title for the game was at one point Super Limbo.

Is this a new meme?

I wonder, how can you do something like this nowadays? We have the internet and news spreads fast.

Holy Jesus

...

I need to pretend to be retarded to fit into society.

I wonder if theres vore porn of this game.

I wonder if you can suck my dick.

Thankfully that shitty fetish didn't exist then. I mean, there was no internet around to spread it.
