Dark Fall: Ghost Vigil is available DRM free on the developers store Here; if purchased from there, you will get the bundle which includes the Full Game Download, Environmental Soundtrack, Official Walkthrough and includes Jonathan's first game The Displacement (1999). You also get a Steam Key to be used when released on Steam in a week. If purchased from Steam or other portals you will get the game without the extras. Check out the Gameplay Trailer here.Check out the official website here.Welcome to Ghost Vigil
Our aim is to prove the existence of 'ghosts' through paranormal experiments. The venue is Harwood House, boasting a disturbing history, waiting to be experienced, by you. We believe the building is haunted, not by a single unknown entity, but several. The O.P.G have placed several remote live cameras and experiments throughout the building.
Harwood House is now empty as it has been for 4 decades, but you can be the eyes in the dark... watching... waiting. Discover what happened.
The house was built in 1747, as a country home for Lord Harwood, his wife and young son, Edgar. The Harwood estate was modest, stretching to a few dark wooded hills, deep in the Oxfordshire countryside. A tragedy occurred, in 1749, when Lord Harwood lost his son to scarlet fever.
A mixed history then befell Harwood House; it was passed from one owner to another in quick succession. It would appear no-one wanted to stay, for long. In later years the house became a hotel, a maternity hospital and eventually, in 1968, a children's home known as Shangri La.
Your Role:
You are very new to the OPG, the Oxford Paranormal Group, but have to face your first 'all night vigil' at Harwood House. You have been given the Attic, as your designated 'closed door experiment'.
In addition to exploring your designated investigation area, there are also ghost cams available to see other parts of the venue, as well as interactions with your fellow OPG members via messages and walkie talkie.
Your mission is to monitor the equipment and paranormal experiments. Things start off okay, with potential activity; orbs, flashes, temperature drops... until midnight, when things become deeply ‘unexplainable’. Who haunts the attic of Harwood House?
Features:
Explore a detailed and haunting setting, for ghost hunting and exploration. Full immersive soundtrack in surround sound. Hear real audio phenomena captured during Ghost Hunts. Point And Click interface Adventure Game. Solo gameplay. Experience flashbacks to the past through Time Slips. Uncover the secret hauntings at Harwood House. Conduct experiments into the paranormal. A cast of ghosts to discover and ghost hunting companions to remotely interact with during your Ghost Hunts. Written by Jonathan Boakes, creator of the Dark Fall and Lost Crown games. Utilise a collection of Ghost Hunting gadgets to discover supernatural activity. Monitor CCTV cameras set up across the location. Use Dictaphone EVP recordings, Night Vision camera, EMF Detectors and a Thermal cam to help pinpoint phenomena. Happy Gaming!

According to Jonathan on Twitter: It’s a good length too, a bit longer than the previous installments. There’s a few Easter Eggs and extras, and three different endings too. Iurii, I asked Jonathan your question on Twitter, and he has already replied to me: I’m not launching on Steam until next week, so keys will happen then. I was going to hold off for a few days, for the walkthrough, as some gamers are doing a very competitive playthrough.

As Marian stated already, the companion guide and steam key will be sent out in a few days to all purchasers. I can tell you, the game is very intuitive so far and I haven't been stumped on anything for more than a few minutes and that's because I didn't fully check out the documents you collect on how to use things. I think it's a good idea to let people think a bit. Otherwise there are always those that say it only took them a couple hours to play because they never fully investigated. There are new things popping up all the time that I see when I go back to areas. It's wonderful!
And yes, we will be provided the WT to place on GB when they are ready. Since you get it free with the game, no hurry!

Just because I play a game (or watch a movie or TV series) doesnt mean I believe in the premise. I like ghost stories, fantasy and science fiction but there are no such things as ghost, aliens, sentient machines or actual magic. Pretending to accept something is real long enough to enjoy the fiction has always been part of it, but fiction is never reality. And even so called true dramas are fictionalized. I've heard two different radio series claiming to be true crime series tell the same story with only changes being the location of the crime and who solved, it first it was Texas and Texas Ranger, second it was New York state and NYC attorney. Same case but they changed names and locations. Dragnet did that with every episode. I saw one case in two different modern true crime series. The second version was better went into more detail about the physical evidence which is always more reliable than human testimony.
BTW people who believe in ghosts and people who believe in aliens tell remarkably similar stories. Does that mean their are ghosts and aliens? NO it means people see what they want to see. They have an experience they cannot explain if they believe in the supernatural they call it ghosts if they don't they claim its aliens. Because they have no rational explanation. so they resort to irrational ones. ghosts or aliens.

TLC, as both Marian and I stated, it will be given to you in a few days. It is not yet sent out. THe basic controls guide just tells you what mouse mouse buttons etc to use.
Guybrush, as someone who lived in an old house in the city that was haunted. I don't appreciate being told I have irrational thoughts. I won't tell you what to believe, do not tell me what my thoughts mean. Case closed. Seriously.

Thanks Ana, Sorry, I misunderstood. Didn't realize the guide was for everyone, when Steam was talked about. PS. I'm not running on a full tank, I'm sick.
