Anybody remember this game from the PSX. It was made by the same people as Flashback and Out of this World. It is awesome and one of the best games for the system and hardly ever gets any attention. Anybody else play it?

You are mistaken good sir. Amazing Studios is the company that made Heart of Darkness although it's possible that maybe some of Delphine's employees went there (?).
Never actually played the game, should pick up the rom for the GBA.

Well, the guy behind Out of this World (I forget his name) went on to make Heart of Darkness.
For a game that seemed cute in the beginning, it sure is morbid. Some damn nice animation for the PSOne though.

never actually played it though I seem to remember some press quote about it taking 4 years to make- was it worth that wait to anyone who played it?

To be honest, I never heard of this game until around 2002, but I picked it up last year for the bargain price of $3.99 and I think it's a pretty good game. While not quite as classic as Out of This World, it does have some pretty neat atmosphere and graphics (I just wish it ran a little smoother, and that the cinemas weren't so cheesy and choppy).

Heh, I remember SEGA SATURN MAGAZINE hyped it up real well, it made the cover of like issue 8 or something. A game 2 plus years in the works. Sadly, in the end it was cancelled for Saturn. go figure. Never did play the PS1 version.

It was a little on the easy side but it was a great experience overall. Good puzzles, interesting characters, and cool powers. I thought Out of this World was too frustrating sometimes so for me this game was much more enjoyable.

Wasn't Heart of Darkness a PC game in the first place?

I believe it did originate as a PC game, but I've been wrong before =P

I believe the PC and PS1 releases were simultaneous.

It was likely both at once, I felt the biggest problem with the game was the ending happened way to quickly and it's obvious shortness.
Its biggest problem was it was 5 years in development and ended up costing in the millions, it was a pretty big flop as a result. I did like the game though I just wish the ending wasn't so horrible.

Definately get it, even if you can't get it legal definately get it, it's a game that's really worth it the first time through but it's not as replayable as Out of this World.

I recently saw a video on youtube.com and I understood why I wanted this game when I was a kid.
