Dark Fall: The Journal

The game aged badly. The graphics are a stab in the eyes, the voice acting is really bad. The gameworld is unconvincing. After quiting the game the process still runs in the background and has to be closed manually. Game removed from library.

Can't really complain, a lot of game play for not much money and lots of challenges to confront. If I had any complaints, it would be that (at least my experience) as the game progressed it became easier - in a lot of instances - to simply guess the solution than spend the time and effort to work out the solution.

the most confusing title that i need a walkthrough for every step i made

had to use gameboomers walkthrough or else i would not have been able to do it. I am quite deaf. This game definitely needs sub-titles.

while the idea of this game is at least pretty solid as a spooky point and click game, i think it falls short of being a good game as you get such a broad set of information and not a lot in terms of getting that information to the puzzle it needs to be at, even finding where the locks are can be tricky as each area gets scanned up and down with the pointer and the sequel doesn't seem to be any better in this regard a lot of viewing spots don't seem to have much purpose, and much of the written information is to further expand on the lore rather than be used on puzzles, but you may have to read it anyway to get a hint, or the information is otherwise useless it does make me wish more games had a system where you could see all the interactable on the screen, like in "dracula origins" as i would have been more invested in getting to the end without the substantial re checking that a puzzle may require so, really wouldn't recommend it unless you just really like checking every screen until something of note is found

Really fun and spooky! Great atmosphere and I loved the puzzles. I have filled pages of my notebook with scribbles that make it look like I'm trying to summon a demon haha. Best kind of game in my opinion! The puzzle logic and navigation may be very jarring for people who aren't familiar with adventure games from this era, I think modern games tend to hold your hand a lot more. Don't expect modern polish and in game notes/tasks keeping. Be patient, keep lots of notes and inspect everything, and you'll be fine. I had to look up some hints as I had missed some interaction prompts, easy to do. But Universal Hint System website saves the day again, without outright spoiling solutions. An excellent and atmospheric creepy masterpiece, yay!
