Dark Fall: Ghost Vigil

Great game but I feel like half my hours are me standing around wathcing tiktok while someone yaps at me over the walkie talkie.

"Ghost Vigil" is another mysterious and horrific chapter of the ''Dark Fall" franchise. There is a strange phenomenas reported in the abandoned orphanage of "Shangri-la'': pale figures, strange noises, unknown voices in the air... It looks as if a perfect debut for the newbie ghost hunter?

Excellent game, lots of creepy locations to explore including time travel.

I liked the 'Google Street View' presentation, but that was the only good thing about it. I did not enjoy the gameplay at all. The difficulty level is so high that it's absurd. You have to make a note of and remember everything you find, because anything could be a clue for a puzzle you encounter six hours later. There is no in-game log, so you have to make a note of everything yourself. You find so much stuff, including tons of fake clues and heaps of documents. Almost immediately after completing the introductory section, I had to resort to following a walkthrough to the end because most of the time I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do. Even with the walkthrough, I still have no idea how I was supposed to solve many of the puzzles or even find them. There are many other problems: [*]Many events are triggered by unrelated actions. E.g. you can't pick up certain item, even if you know it's there, until you read a document at the other end of the house. [*]Some voice clips have no subtitles, and combined with heavy audio distortions, they are incomprehensible. [*]The NPCs are also one of the most annoying I have ever encountered in a game. Their constant, unskippable…

I've played this game several times, and love it every time! I got to Saxton this last time around. Can't wait till the next game!

In my case, it's all bugged, I can't finish the attic despite all the tasks are completed. It's not good when you need to check the walkthrough and discussion board all the time.
