You almost beat this game! What you had left to do was fill the syringe with brown liquid (by clicking the liquids from right, then middle, then left, then go put the sleeping pills in the cops mug (finnicky clicking, then go to the store and get the axe, then go break open the big crate with the axe, use the wet towel to get the stone from the crate, go to the throne room and hand the ghoul leader the potion and stone to get the boiling potion. Go to the cellar in the other castle where you open the curtain and use the compass to go into the chute, use the Mold Spice on the green goo in the next room to prevent dying and look out the window if you want to grab a coin to play the arcade game, make sure the trinket is selected, go left twice, but afterwards proceed to try to go down and right as much as possible (which going left once or twice may be required, pass the vamps while having the trinket selected, inject the dog with brown liquid (only once! twice will kill the dog) then take the bone. Go back to the town square with the mortal remains, put the bone back onto the skeleton, use the boiling potion on the skeleton. The End.

I love these videos but man they drive me crazy. I think you should put a little less emphasis on trying to be funny and more on actually figuring things out. Maybe its just me but there is parts where it seems you try the most illogical actions on a object and totaly forget to try the most logical ones. I think if you spend less time rushing through things and finding stuff to laugh at the experience would be much better, but hey thats just my opinion. Regardless I still love the reviews. :3

LGR! Hear my plea!
I have been searching long and hard for a game from my youth that is somewhat similar to -Last Half of Darkness-. My mother bought it from a cheap bin at a grocery store in the early 1990's. A point and click adventure game with a very morbid premise of being stuck in a nightmare world. I remember very vivid reds and blues for most of the coloring and starting the game with only a unicorn key in your pocket. Cannot remember the name or find any leads online. Any ideas?

That way too dark UI makes this a horrendous experience. Why did they pick that color? You can't see what anything is, and it's all blurry even though the font is larger than in the previous game. The UI in the previous games looked much better. The drawings here are obviously better, though.
This -part III- feels like the original developer sold the IP of the first two games to someone with more money to throw at it, but with no game design or UX skills.

My only guess as to what you were SUPPOSED to do next was take the wet towel, wring it out over the fire where you start the game, and maybe find a key in it or something. Man, i loved the first two games from what i saw in the streams, but this one is preeeeetty frustrating. And thats coming from someone who enjoyed the annoying torches in shadowgate and the lovely cursed objects and timed uninvited.

Part of what makes an otherwise mediocre (and often infuriating game) IS being silly and trying the fun stuff! The first 2 games, we were legitimately trying to puzzle solve, but this game proved to be absurd and poorly programmed. Also, this was done in a very informal stream, so silliness and absurdity are much more likely when you have a chatroom involved. :)

Even though Last Half of Darkness games have annoying as balls protection, they're actually pretty good considering one guy did all the art and programming. I hope you stick with the series. the games only get better from here and I really enjoy listening to and watching you two play these games! Thanks for introducing me to Pushing Up Roses!

I want you to know I fell asleep listening to the DECtalk PC Oddware. and woke up to last 20 or so mins of this.
While I was still asleep I was interpreting your discussion as a teacher (female) leading students around and telling stories.
Which slowly morphed into a teacher and students doing a letsplay with a livechat's help

I always wanted to complete the full versions of these games since back in the day. If you guys are still have any way to contact the developer, I was wondering if there is anyway I could purchase all three. I only had a buggy shareware version of part one back in the day. I remember playing it on my IBM PS1 with DOS version 6. 22

Checked out google images of that game, unfortunately not the one. The game I've been trying so hard to remember had what I remember to be much poorer graphics. When I say vivid blues and reds, I mean intense and throughout much of the game. Thank you for responding, however I worry I have forever lost that piece of my childhood.
