About Dark Fall: Ghost Vigil

Join the all-night ghost vigil at Harwood House. As part of the 'OPG' paranormal investigation team, explore the haunted buildings and investigate sightings of ghosts, long reported around the area of Wolfenden. Grab the ghost hunting gadgets and solve the mystery surrounding this abandoned building.


Welcome to Ghost Vigil



The aim is to prove the existence of 'ghosts' through paranormal experiments. The venue is Harwood House, boasting a disturbing history, waiting to be experienced, by you. We, The Oxford Paranormal Group, believe the building is haunted, not by a single unknown entity, but several. The O.P.G have placed several remote live cameras and experiments throughout the building.

Harwood House is now empty as it has been for 4 decades, but you can be the eyes in the dark... watching... waiting. Discover what happened.

The house was built in 1747, as a country home for Lord Harwood, his wife and young son, Edgar. The Harwood estate was modest, stretching to a few dark wooded hills, deep in the Oxfordshire countryside. A tragedy occurred, in 1749, when Lord Harwood lost his son to scarlet fever.

A mixed history then befell Harwood House; it was passed from one owner to another in quick succession. It would appear no-one wanted to stay, for long. In later years the house became a hotel, a maternity hospital and eventually, in 1968, a children's home known as Shangri La.

Your Role:



You are new to the OPG, the Oxford Paranormal Group, but have to face your first 'all night vigil' at Harwood House. Your investigation will begin in the Attic, as your designated 'closed door experiment', before exploring the remains of the abandoned Harwood House and the Shangri La children's home.

In addition to exploring your designated investigation area, there are also ghost cams available to see other parts of the venue, as well as interactions with your fellow OPG members via messages and walkie talkie.

Your mission is to monitor the equipment and paranormal experiments. Things start off okay, with potential activity; orbs, flashes, temperature drops... until midnight, when things become deeply ‘unexplainable’. Who haunts Harwood House?

"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?

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.
