The ghost hunt begins anew!

Dark Fall: The Journal and Dark Fall 2: Lights Out, two gripping horror adventure games sporting a thick atmosphere with more than just a hint of ectoplasm, are returning to GOG.com today, for only $5.99 each.

Ghosts, apparitions, spirits--whether you see them or not, they're a part of our world just like the forces of nature, economy, and your postman. In most cases, they're separated from the mundane realm by a thin, yet impenetrable veil. There are some places, however, where the veil is thinner, and there are some people who can see through it. All. The. Time. If you're not one of these people, be thankful. Strange things happen around those with psychic abilities. The mere presence of such people throws the reality off balance. Sometimes, the other side pushes against the barrier so hard, that the worlds collide without a medium present. Some places break down under the pressure and become permanently haunted. In such places the mundane logic becomes suspended, and the realm of the strange and terrifying opens before humans. These games tell of such events and places.

Dark Fall: The Journal and Dark Fall 2: Lights Out are a shining example of paranormal activity-focused storytelling in gaming. Each of the games tells a gripping story in which the protagonist becomes involved in events that go far beyond our mundane understanding of the world. They create a first-person perspective experience that masterfully captures the eerie atmosphere of a ghost hunt, where the presence of strange forces feel very real and close. With immersive story and many intriguing puzzles these games should satisfy anyone looking for some chill-inducing adventure. Both games were available on GOG.com in the past, but had to be temporarily excluded from our catalog. Now, they're back to haunt you, and you'll enjoy it if they do.

Dark Fall: The Journal and Dark Fall 2: Lights Out eluded us for some time, but now they came back from the gaming limbo and we have them locked in our GOG.com proton pack, ready to bring them directly to your drive for only $5.99 each.

Wesker: If so, it may be a long time before Dark Fall 2 DC and Dark Fall 3 show up here.
Thankfully I have both of them. Dark Fall 2 DC on groupees bundle, and DF3 on steam.

But yeah, that would explain why they are not present on GOG.
I am really happy to see these games back here on GOG as they are fantastic games. Now please get Obscure back too.
Has this bug been fixed, or is DF2 still broken on W7+?

Any chance of Obscura returning to the GOG catalog? I'm kicking myself for not purchasing it while it was available here.
glad to see these back in the catalogue, hopefully other titles that have dissapeared will come back eventually as well
The Adventure Company did a worldwide release of the game way back. Nordic picked up The Adventure Company a couple years back. That's probably where Nordic got the distribution rights to the game from.
Having them all this time on my shelf made this departure less glaring, but glad to see them back nonetheless. I'm with keeveek though, Lights Out seriously needs an upgrade to the Directors Cut version.

The dispute was between Nordic and the original Dark Fall dev. He claimed that Nordic has no rights to sell his games or whatever, so he sent a couple of cease & desist letters.

It seems he's been wrong.

Dear Dark Fall fans,
great to see the 2 titles back online. As on all of you who are wondering why they went offline and back online under the same publisher - well it was a legal issue which is now finally solved. We are now fully working together with the great developers and found a solution for those issues - sometimes nobody has to be right or wrong - it is all about a good partnership with all partners out there and about working closely together with them to find a common line. Details are nothing for public but it definitely has a great advantage for you - you are now getting the fully patched versions of those 2 games here on GOG.com.

Thanks to our friends from GOG.com as well for relaunching this title.

Your Nordic Games Team

So, in the end, Jonathan Boakes bears no grudge against anybody?

What do you mean by 'fully patched'?

Is there any chance of seeing Director's Cut version of Dark Fall 2?

Great news, thank you.

Please pester Jonathan about "The Displacement", fans are still hoping it will be made available (as an extra perhaps?) and GOG.COM would be the perfect home for it ;)

Bloodygoodgames: Nice to see them back.

I already own both of them but they're well worth picking up. Fun games, a bit scary and a nice adventure.

Thanks GOG for working out how to get them back here :) It was a shame to lose them.

JudasIscariot: If you do own them from before, check your accounts as we have put up new installers for both games :)
FYI, they're not showing up as changed on "My Account"

Are any of the extras new?
