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:


Luv Dar

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. rotfl


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. thumbsup

However, (I mentioned this in another post), Jemima and Mr. Gruel creeped me out. scared

Jemima and MR. Gruel creeped me out too, Gail.
By the way, I just love your "creep out" emoticon. Wherever, did you get it?

Birddog -- Thanks....When you do a reply, you have to switch to "full reply screen", then hit the little smiley face above your text box. Then you can choose a whole bunch of emoticons.

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?

I have reached today the middle part of the game (i think). I'm done with my first visit to the museum and i must say that this game is the best i have played in months (a lot of them). I love the mystery the story and although i'm soooo scared at some points i also love the ghost haunting lol

One of the ways that I describe to my friends my affection for Adventure games is that it is like being a character in a novel that you are reading for the first time. The Lost Crown was like this for me. I very much liked my fellow characters and enjoyed being in their world. It was creepy and curious with startlingly scary moments. Clues and solutions were logical and I loved the gadgets. ('Cause I like to make things "go") I thought the use of color, and lack there of, was used brilliantly. A good story, well told, and ever-so-fun to play. yes

Hi gaily...Thanks for the reply & Thank You all

What struck my attention to posting about this game..Was not only the game play...

But I want to bring to everyones attention that we don't need blood & gore to get people scared....I was so happy to see that I was scared without all that other stuff... grin

Hi Dar,
You know you're right. shocked 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. eek Jaded person that I am. wink

I agree, Darleen. smile And there are a number of great, old scary movies that demonstrate that you don't need blood and guts to be scared. Done right, in some ways this approach (the subtle one) can be more scary. thumbsup

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!
