Description

Being Her Darkest Friend is a free 2D click-and-point adventure game and successor to the game A Fragment of Her. This time you also have access to an inventory. The interface system is completely controlled via mouse and very simple, you only need to left-click interactive objects.

Like in the predecessor you play as Selina, an art student. This time you find yourself in a dreamscape and revisit places from the previous game. However these places have changed to surreal and nightmarish versions. There will be also familiar persons from the previous game who want you to fulfill certain tasks.

Not as good as the first game

The Good
The art style was carried over from the first game and was pretty good. I enjoyed the prospect of continuing the story from the first game, as I felt a lot was left unanswered.

The Bad
The story of this entry in the series is extremely convoluted and ends on a massive cliffhanger. You really have no idea what is going on at any given time. The puzzles, as a result, are all very meta and you don't know what it is that you're actually accomplishing by solving any of them.

The Bottom Line
The author of this game tried hard to continue the thought-provoking story of the first game, but didn't really succeed. Instead of a story about a person undergoing trauma and abuse, we get a supernatural tale that takes place inside the protagonist's head. We don't really continue the original story at all (that sort of happens in the third game in the series). The result is hard to follow and unsatisfying.
