William R. Fisher may not be a name instantly recognizable by adventure game fans-his initials, however, may be. He is founder of WRF Studios, a small game company named after his own initials, and an independent adventure game developer working more or less in solo on his own games. He is the author of Last Half of Darkness: Shadows of the Servant (2005) and Last Half of Darkness: Beyond the Spirit's Eye (2007).
ACG is honored to have an opportunity to learn more from William R. Fisher, who prefers to be called Bill Fisher, about his career and his games. In the interview, Fisher shares his thoughts on the challenges of being an indie game developer, the inspiration behind his own games, what gamers can expect from the latest Last Half of Darkness sequel, and what more to be expected from him in the future.
The story this time around does seem relegated more to the secondary materials, and the gameplay is unlikely to dazzle you at many points, but it still manages to provide a solid experience for fans of first-person adventures and the Last Half of Darkness series in particular. And it comes with spiders!
he atmosphere is spectacular, the music is chilling, the game is creepy as hell and it features some really innovative puzzles for you to contend with. Some gamers might find the graphics a bit outdated or may be lost at first jumping into the third game in a series. Tomb of Zojir is the best point and click title this year and it'll be interesting to see if anything comes close to surpassing it.
