simple storyline, average voice acting, but atmosphere (sound and visual) is spectacularly creepy.

worth playing when on sale

Personal Rating: "Get it on a massively discounted sale or avoid"
Traditional Rating: 3.5/10
Platform: PC
Genre: Point and Click Adventure

Back in the day when adventure gaming was king, I resented the FPS for slowly and systematically killing of the genre that helped define my childhood (Sierra and LucasArts adventure games were amongst my favorite back then) but if this is the sorry state of point and click adventure gaming today then pass me the club whilst I bash its head in.

Whilst I don't play much point and click adventures these days having somewhat moved passed them, Dark Fall: Lost Souls has got to rank as one of the worst, if not worst. This ghost story is something I would expect to have read out to me in some classroom by some over enthusiastic grade scholar with aspiring dreams to be the next Stephen King - except when you hear the story you realize in your heart of hearts that it's never going to happen. You play the game as an Inspector who is trying to solve the case of a young missing girl. Having tampered with the evidence to get a certain suspect convicted you find yourself out of work and desperate to solve the actual case and redeem yourself. Your investigations begin to uncover some paranormal connection and things begin to take a decidedly darker turn.

Graphically the game is serviceable but the voice acting is so ear-splittingly awful I wanted to vomit every time the inspector opened his mouth to say something. This is one game you'll be wiser to just turn the volume right down. I got this on one of the sales so I don't feel cheated as I think I paid $2 but I wouldn't seriously think about going any higher than that price wise unless you are in it just for the laughs because if this was supposed to be scary or chilling it missed the mark completely.

play it..the story is just mentally ill its creepy o.o randomly creepy sounds and yh..try it out

Checked out this game since the line under the main title interests me, "it knows your name". Got the game started it and black screen with sound, knowing the title was "dark"fall I was pretty sure it didnt crash my video card driver but couldnt tell. Then suddenly Im ina tunnel after figuring out my cell phone is the light. Then randomly I pass out or something and wake up in a train yard where I find a room with some ghost whose not haunting the place but just being a jerk and wont let me buy. You can see him in one of the screenshots above, is that his purpose for eternity, to be a jerk and not let me by? See a door in same room try it and its locked, wow this sucks. The pointing and clicking barely work, weird because I understand when a game has bad controls for a controller but a mouse? was this game made in 1990? Its nearly unplayable and moces so slow its hard to explain except to say that they should chance "it knows your name", to "know your meme", because this game is all 2edgy4m BS that literally goes nowhere. broken controls, random events, slow gameplay, the only scary thing about this game is that it now haunts my game catalog.

Rating: 0/10 Value: $0.00

Too hard, it's almost impossible to leave the first area, the atmosphere is terrible and the game is not creepy at all. I strongly regret getting this game.
