Hi Boomers...
There are many things in this game I think is outstanding..
The one thing I am impressed about is when you are in a certain area..You have to find clues..Your not allowed out to wander aimlessly until you find all the clues..
What was the best for you in this game? :bunny:

I enjoyed the range of interesting and oddball characters you got to meet within the game. Mr Gruel was a blast.

Darleen, I agree. I'm tired of seeing 20+ hours of gaming and then find I spend 50% of the time wondering. Rushes you are so right, I laughted out loud at the sudden gay innuendo from Rhyes.
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

I too liked the fact that you couldn't leave a scene until you gathered all the clues. It forces you to retrace your steps and make sure you didn't forget anything. I just loved using all the gadgets. What fun. However, (I mentioned this in another post), Jemima and Mr. Gruel creeped me out. Gail

Just started this game... From the first impression it looks really interesting and i like the black and white picture with a few colorful elements. Does all the game is like this?

Hi Dar, You know you're right. I hadn't even thought about it from that perspective. Implied violence, but no gore. To me that says that I am really involved with the story for that to be effective. Jaded person that I am.

I have to agree with you all on the not needing gore to have a fantastically suspenseful game.
Something I noticed while playing yesterday - I can't remember where I was but I suddenly heard that weird noise that almost sounds somewhat like a spring pinging open that was peppered throughout Dark Fall: The Journal. That's not a completely accurate description of the sound - I have no idea what it is. Maybe it's just because I'm a very auditory person but I recognized it and it suddenly made the game creepier as it brought back those feelings I had of wandering alone through that deserted hotel... Very nice usage of sound!

Really? Wow. One of my best friends is a harpist and I've never heard her's sound like that. Very effective for the games.

Aw, man! I'm housesitting until Sunday and my game is loaded up on my home computer. Reading this thread is making me jealous. I wanna play! I haven't played since Saturday. I'm at the part where I'm... ...trying to figure out the millstones so I can see the spire of the church. I think it's time to purchase a laptop so I can game when I'm away from home. Volkana - I just checked out that site after reading your post. Did Jonathan create that just for the game?

Dear Mr. Boakes:
Thank you for your interest in the beautiful town of Saxton! Yes, we have an intriguing history, and many surprises for those who wish to visit us and explore our ancient environs!
One small request -- in your next game, could you, well, put in more flowers and fewer terrifying characters? The shopkeepers and restaurant owners feel that scaring visitors half to death may discourage them from coming to see us again.
Many regards --
Saxton Village Council Since 1066 (and probably earlier)

LOL Especially at night, Volkana! I'm wondering if The Bear really exists. There is a link to their menu but I don't know if that's real or just him having fun being creative. Hmmm... I'm looking at a trip to England/Scotland/Ireland next spring with a friend. Wonder if I could convince her to spend a day in Saxton? Just posted and then saw Becky's reply between mine and Volkana's. Was that on the site we're talking about, Becky?

This is the next game to play on my list. Reading all these posts tells me I'm in for a lot of fun. Now if :spring: could really get here. RAL

Volkana posted I;m afraid and at the same time i want to look... Reminds me of me when I was kid and going to horror movies at the local theatre. Use to cover my face with my hands but always spread my fingers apart

Oh gosh. I just finished it and it was amazing from the start to the end. My favourite parts were: - art direction (loved the use of black and white and colour splashes) - creepiness - using all the ghost hunting tools - storyline and "history" of Saxton and surrounding areas I am really hoping there is a sequel! Now I have to play Dark Fall 1 & 2 along with Barrow Hill. I have them both and almost traded them but glad that I kept them.

Dear Saxton Village Council, Long have you known that there is something wrong with our village. It is constantly shrouded in fog. The locals move in a strange way (robotic doesn't even come close!), and the food is eccentric at best (spring rolls and chicken pie? to feed to a pig??!!! How is one expected to eat around here!!!). Plus, you insist on painting our community in only black and white terms! There is a puzzle at the heart of our community, that I wish to bring to peoples attention. I am a Saxton resident, and have been for many years. I love this town. But...I must admit...it's rather odd. A flustered Saxton Resident (drinking tea) P.s. Just you wait till voting day!!!

Rumor has it that that villainous lawyer fellow from Scratches has gone on the run and may have gone to Saxton, where he'd be posing as a resident to hide his true criminal self. The previous correspondent is, how shall I say, something of a fit there. Not that I wish to accuse...

Now I have to play Dark Fall 1 & 2 along with Barrow Hill. I have them both and almost traded them but glad that I kept them. *gasp* Trade them without playing them?! I've regretted loading up a few games but those three are as far from that list as they can possibly be. Uhhh... *looking around worriedly* It would seem that the off-colour residents of creepy Saxton are invading our well-ordered world here on GB. At least he's friendly and sent the link to that helpful map. RayBres - I'm liking that theory...

Hiya Celic Lark, I don't know how you are travelling but if you come by train to Liskard, you can catch a very small train or a very small bus to Looe and you will come through the woods that Barrow Hill was photoed in. You can continue by bus to Polperro or in the summer take a boat to Polperro. The antique shop is here in East Looe and the man who runs it is very nice and not like Mr Gruel thank goodness. There is a museum here in Looe and it's not very spooky but it is interesting. My Canadian sister-in-law was here last year and she was mind blown by the place. Walking her back to her B&B late at night was just like being in Saxton at night. It's not just a game it is real

A huge amount to enjoy. The look and the sound is spot on. It is creepy and unsettling without huge amounts of gore. I jumped sky high at a certain bathroom moment. Did anyone else watch the information videos in the museum? I had a little shiver when I noticed the bottoms of the familiar turned-up, frayed jeans. There's also a lot to think of afterwards. All that time strangeness and the Ager brothers and their motivations and Haddon (kinda weird). Really, really well done and plenty of scope for future games I hope. I have to admit having a little giggle to myself when reading some of the books. I couldn't help thinking of Terry Pratchett and his groce'rs apostrophes.

Darleen, I had the same reaction and the only other time I had that was when Oscar was used to repair Hans in Syberia 2. It takes an artist to get a reaction that that.

P.p.s. http://www.thelostcrown.co.uk/realsaxton I don't suppose the Ager house is based on a real place -- maybe one that burned down and was reconstructed from old photos.

Oooh.. Jeanne, sounds fantastic! I managed to escape housesitting today and went home to play the game for about three hours. I'm finally getting to parts where I feel some aprehension. I just... ...got into the museum for the first time and am busy exploring. That ghost that keeps popping up set my heart to pounding twice. It's driving me batty that it's taking me so long to finish this game due to not being at home this week. But tomorrow I go home for good and I'm turning off my phone, fortifying myself with snackies, and holing myself up in front of my computer. Hmmm... no more notes from that tea-drinking guy...

Well, I scare easily, but I felt a frisson at the opening screen. It's that song, and the weird symbols, and the crows. And very early on, at the caves on the beach with the strange groans issuing forth -- none of you that that was scary? I think the tea-drinking guy is behind more of what's going on in the Saxton than would immediately meet the eye. I suspect that he's a catalyst of sorts, or perhaps some sort of focus point. I hope the Village Council is monitoring the situation.

The worst moment for me was wandering around the crypt passages and being greeted by something not entirely, uh, friendly. I just about leapt out of my chair into a heap on the carpet. Mr Boakes, I'm sending you my dry cleaning bill!

Okay, okay, I retract a bit of what I said. I've felt a bit nervous during certain parts like exploring the cottage and the caverns but until now, I haven't felt like I need to take a break from the game because it's creeping me out too much. I was like that while playing "The Journal". I turned that game off for six months because it was making me so jumpy. That basement was terrifying. But eventually I went back and finished it. So that's kind of my yardstick for determining how scary a game is. Of course, I was a fairly new gamer when I picked up "The Journal" and maybe a little more susceptible than I am now. Now I'm a hard-nosed adventurer! And also, most of the exploring I've done so far in TLC has been in daylight. From several comments that Nigel has made recently, I'm predicting that a midnight trip to the museum and church are in my future...
