Dark Fall: The Journal

An old classic. I was quite impressed as I have never played this game before. It's a solid point and click horror game with great narrative depth and interesting, detailed environments. The voice acting is surprisingly good and overall, it's a fun experience. The puzzles are difficult but not impossible and I only looked at a walkthrough for a couple points that I just happened to miss while exploring on my own. Overall, a solid old game. No technical difficulties other than it's locked to a certain scale in fullscreen but I had no issue with it.

One of the best classic point & click games. Well thought out, well executed, and it pulls you in even for a decades old game that should feel archaic and unintuitive for modern sensibilities. It still works and it isn't plagued by retro-on-modern jank like so many of its contemporaries.

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!

Intriguing and deceptively creepy adventure game, we were scared to turn the camera. The puzzles were difficult, but not completely insane, hehehe. It also has given me an amazing quote for everyday use: "Please take full offense, when I say that it has been a displeasure to meet you."

This game is really good. Great atmosphere. You should try it.
