Description
You come back from work hoping to get a good night's sleep but then you notice light blinking on your answering machine. It was your brother – an architect redeveloping an old train station and hotel. He called to ask for your help. Alarmed by his frightened voice, cryptic information about some disappearance and strange whispers in the background you board a train without hesitation. From now on your adventure has just begun and soon you will realize that although no one is there, you are not alone...

This Myst-style horror-adventure game will bring fear into your heart. From the very beginning you are exposed to an overwhelming but invisible ghost presence – strange calls, footsteps, voices from nowhere. In order to help your brother and survive you will need to solve the mystery of this abandoned, haunted place. And remember! Do not let it to find you! Do not let it to find you... Do not.. Let... find...

The game is best played in a dark room with your speakers turned up. Unless you're scared, of course.
  • A gripping and highly immersive storyline
  • The eerie atmosphere of real ghost hunting
  • Sceneries and ambient noises that will chill your very bones

A dark and atmospheric adventure

"Dark Fall: The Journal" is a well-crafted horror adventure with a tense atmosphere and a genuinely interesting story. You'll explore dark and chilling environments on your quest to find out what happened to your disappeared brother. The only downside with "Dark Fall" is that the game was obviously made with a pretty low budget and with rather simplistic tools - it looks and plays a lot like the original "Myst", which was released ten years earlier. Still, if you're looking for a game with a good story, depth and atmosphere that shouldn't get in your way.

I'm Too Tired For This Game

I like reading notes as much as the next person, but really, this game was too much. It did give good advice pertaining to flood protection. I now feel very safe. I have ensured that my driveway is sandbagged up to the postbox. This leave my neighbours quite angry, but the postman Leroy doesn't seem to mind. Perhaps it's because he can still post his letters to me. I Wish he would stop. Please Leroy, please stop posting your letters to me. #ancientaliensarereal

Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!

I've tried with this game, but that ghost just doesn shut up! You take a step, it speaks for an hour. You make another step, talks another hour. Look around the corner, it again rumbles for hours upon hours upon hors. You pick up a newspaper - it start tlaking. I'm reading here, I'm reading! Darn!
