  This game reminded me of the Tom Baker Doctor Who episodes of 'Horror of Fang Rock' (fetch/fang rock - similar?). The creators were obviously sci-fi fans as 'Sapphire and Steel' is one of the magazines when hunting around. Great game!

  The game is good, but I cant recommend, sorry. I like the mistery, the artists are good, but the game engine from Macromedia is so terrible, is sooooooo baaaaaad, I keep skipping a number of puzzles just because the mouse icon dont change, and then I get stuck often and have to get the internet walkthrough. IF YOU NEED HELP ON A MISTERY NOVEL, THERE IS NO MISTERY. Just do this, then go here do that. The game as it is, it is NOT playable. Sorry, dont play this.

  What makes this one great is how non-linear it is, although it didn't seem that way at first. There's more to the old lighthouse than meets the eye, and there are a couple big surprises. I recommend against any walkthrus, as this game has some twists that could be spoiled easily if you like the thrill of discovery. The puzzles actually make sense in the context of the story or have documents that spell the solutions out, if you can find them. One solution in particular, towards the end of the game, can actually be found quite early on in exploration. Take good notes, and this will be a very rewarding experience!

  [i]Dark Fall 2: Lights Out; Director's cut version[/i] is a spooky firstperson-point&click game. [u] Warning:[/u] being an old-game, you [u] NEED[/u] pen&paper to note the clues because THERE ISN'T diary, so no evidences or hints you'll discover or progress you'll make will be recorded! Also [u]no maps[/u], at all! So, unless you have the precious (and very enviable!) gift of an eidetic memory, you have to use the still reliable instruments of pen&paper to help you get to the end of this story! [u] Warning2:[/u] it's a game of SLOW pace! No running from monsters, no fighting! The recurring action you'll do is...READING! A lot! And observing and clicking on everything you see, and.. re-observing and re-clicking, especially when you recover a "special item"! Now that you are warned but still find yourself intrigued by it, back to the game-review: It's 29th April 1912, you play as Benjamin Parker, a cartographer sent to Trewarthan, Cornwall, to map the area of the harbor town and find yourself involved in the tragic events occured to the Keepers of the Lighthouse.. This is the beginning of a story well written and designed: the more you proceed, the more you are gripped by it. A story that branch out through the present, the past and future (from the point of view of whom?..you'll see). One could say that there are many protagonist: Benjamin Parker, the Lighthouse, the Keepers and..the Spooky! All of them has story to tell and you are there to unravel it and..maybe, save them all... in every time... [i] as I was going up the stair... I met a man who wasn't there...[/i] [b] Gameplay:[/b] it's a firstperson game and you can't move freely on the screen but have to use the arrows (forward, back, right, left) that show up moving the cursor on the screen; when cursor is shaped like magnifyglass you can zoom in; with curson sa an hand, you can pickup object and click things; when the cursor is shaped like a wrench you have to use some objects from your inventory. The inventory is suited at the bottom of the screen. At the top, on the left, there is the activity bar (save, load, quit). Since there isn't an auto-save, to do it you have to click on Save and it will open My Documents folder (or make a new one in a directory you prefer), where you can label and save your progress ( do it often). As I said before, there is no diary to take trace of the clues and evidences you'll find nor a map. Also, every action you do, need to be repeated again and again and again.. example, if you find a locked box and you're able to lock-pick and open it, but then you "exit" from this action, you HAVE TO lock-pick it again! The same thing happens for doors, hidden drawers and so on: you have to repeat those action every time! Remeber to click on everything (it's important, you'll see) read everything and sift through everything..you don't know where a clue can be hidden... [b] Pro[/b]: [olist] [*]The story: intriguing, gripping, original and inspired by the poem "Flannan Isle" of Wilfrid Wilson Gibson, 1912 [*]The pluzzes: well designed and clever [*]The acting-voices: soooo Cornish and very well acted (especially the spooky voices). As well as the background musics and enviromental sounds and effects [*]The graphics: the ideas and concepts behind the drawings of the enviroments are very interesting and well designed [/olist] [b] Con[/b]: [olist] [*]The lack of diary to trace the evidences and clues [*]The absence of a map (especially in some situations can be disorienting) [*]The major hindrance is the obligation to repeat over and over actions already made: like lock-picking doors, drawers and etc. everytime you want to open them [/olist] My rate for this game is 7/10 (I would have rated it more if there wasn't that problem with the "repeating" actions) [i] ..here... over here... this way... he's watching you... he's waiting for you.... hi hi hi hi....[/i]

  [h1]A bit better than Dark Fall 1 but still poorly conceived[/h1] Read my review for Dark Fall 1 [url=steamcommunity.com/id/badhairqueen/recommended/260690/]here[/url] first. This game suffers from almost all the same faults, except the graphics are of a better resolution. [h1]Some things I hated[/h1] - No opening sequence. Game just starts. - You are allowed to zoom in on stuff, only to find nothing there. - No item labels. No descriptions. Nothing. - Ugly conversation scene with a man at start of game. You see just the top part of his head, very close-up. Seriously?! - Clicking on a journal suddenly brings up a cutscene out of nowhere when you get to a certain page. Then you are made to click on something, and you are whisked back to the journal page. WTF. [h1]Don't bother with this one[/h1] It should be a free Flash game or something. Even then I wouldn't play it.

  Darkling Room's sequel to Dark Fall: The Journal, Dark Fall: Light's Out ended up being quite disappointing compared to its predecessor. I wanted to like it, due to the fact I'm a massive fan of Dark Fall, and the Lost Crown also, but this game was very mediocre and I didn't enjoy it at all. As much as I loved the atmosphere and visuals, the story was uninteresting and the gameplay was too confusing. Overall I wouldn't recommend this, and would point you in the direction of Dark Fall: The Journal or the Lost Crown - 2 fantastic games created by Jonathan Boakes at Darkling Room.

  The original Dark Fall came from a school of adventure gaming that really isn’t around anymore, the old Myst rendered-image hunts of yore. We’ve moved away from those for good reason, because they can be frustratingly obtuse and irritating to navigate, but that’s not to say they can’t be good games. Dark Fall 1 made a decent show of it in the limited realm of a haunted train station, and Dark Fall 2 tries to do the same with a haunted lighthouse. Unfortunately, the places where 2 tries to be more ambitious are the places where the limitations of the genre sting the most. Dark Fall 2 is inspired by the real-life mystery of the Flannan Isles Lighthouse, where over 115 years ago three lighthouse keepers vanished with nary a trace. It’s a fascinating story and fertile ground for a horror game, and so this one picks up in 1912 with you tasked with investigating a trio of vanished keepers. The lighthouse on Fetch Rock lost its charges back in 1900, inspiring rumors of curses and hauntings which your employer wishes to dispel. Setting off from town in the dead of night, your search of Fetch Rock will lead to a time-hopping journey from the far future all the way back to the Stone Age. That’s right, I said time-hopping. It’s not a spoiler, they tell you right there on the store page, but beneath the lighthouse you’ll find a gateway that allows you to jump to three alternate time periods, including modern times. I’m sure that somewhere there’s been a quality horror tale that incorporated time travel but this one is not remotely close. The start of your journey in a small, foggy port town thick with gloom sets an excellent stage for horror, and the abandoned lighthouse follows through with the promise of creepy airs. Then you follow a ghostly voice to the portal and appear in bright, sunny 2004 and explore a little tourist trap museum. Even if you were convinced by the stiff pre-rendered graphics or the awkward shadow spooks in 1912, this sudden tonal shift is sure to obliterate any pretense of horror left in the game. This is all assuming you even get that far, of course. Just like its predecessor, Dark Fall 2 has you navigating networks of pre-rendered scenes with mouse-driven tank controls. Clicking on the left or right sides of the screen turn you, and clicking the middle moves you forward if there’s room to move. This worked tolerably well in 1 because the small rooms of the station kept navigation from getting confusing. Not so here in the winding streets and spiral staircases of the ambitious sequel, where a path from dock to door can contain 20 to 30 scenes depending on how many turns you take. Most of these scenes have nothing of note in them, making it virtually impossible to find the items and interactables you need to proceed in the clogged mazes of images. I’m not kidding, I had to consult a walkthrough to find the very first thing to do in the game. There’s a door in the middle of the port town you have to enter that requires you to turn perpendicular to the street on one particular screen out of a dozen. After that I had to consult the walkthrough again to figure out what I had to do in my own room, which was flip a particular book to the last page. Trying to suss these tasks out myself had me clicking on endless screens of plain walls, pointless shelves, and functionless items. You could honestly remove 90% of the scenes in this game and not lose any gameplay, just additional transitions between the few scenes that DO matter. I gave Dark Fall 1 a passing grade because despite not being my cup of tea, it had enough promise to perhaps satisfy someone. The puzzles made sense if you could follow them, the movement was clunky but functional, and the atmosphere was surprisingly creepy. Each one of those three key elements is weaker in Dark Fall 2, so much so that any one of them would have sunk this title. It’s agonizing to simply move around, if you find something to do it won’t make sense, and that effective atmosphere evaporates the moment the plot picks up. I would liked to have seen an evolution of the series here, taking cues from modern design to enhance the retro features, but the exact opposite happened and the result is hardly worth the trouble. Did you enjoy this review? I certainly hope so, and I certainly hope you'll check out more of them at https://goldplatedgames.com/ or on my [url=http://steamcommunity.com/groups/audish#curation]curation page[/url]!
