For the past 3 weeks, I’ve only been posting scenes from games I’ve played. This week, I’m going through some games I haven’t played, selecting scenes based on nothing more their looking interesting. Let me know if they actually are important in the game — and if I should beat myself up for not having played those games yet!

I’ve never played Dark Fall, or anything by Jonathan Boakes, and since I’m not into horror (call me weird, but the pleasure there is in destroying your sleep has always eluded me) I probably won’t anytime soon. But feel free to discuss it!

I am a great fan of Jonathan Boakes games, especially the Darkfall series (I believe that the first was the best).

Kurufinwe, you should try the Lost Crown since it is not really that scary…

I think there are definitely some scary moments in The Lost Crown! But I guess the difference is that in Darkfall you’re kind of supposed to be scared the whole time.

I’m a big fan of Jonathan Boakes as well. It’s funny how I love scary games but not scary movies.
I agree with Sefir: do try TLC, not much scary about it.

I’ve yet to play the Dark Fall games… I have the first two downloaded from GOG, which were dirt cheap, but I haven’t got around to them yet.

I’m slowly playing through Lights Out right now, was a bit confusing at first, but really liking it. Loved the first one as well. I thought it was really effective despite (maybe that’s the wrong word) the relatively simple means.

Just a heads up, the second Dark Fall game (Lights Out) on gog is the original release, not the Director’s Cut (which actually adds quite a lot from what I’ve read).
That one is still available ‘dirt cheap’ (min. $3) along with Black Mirror and Aura in the JustAdventure bundle.
