I liked Dark Fall. I'm giving the game 4 stars but really I think it is more 3.5 but I can't choose half a star. The game gives a nice creepy atmostphere and as you explore you slowly start to figure out what happened here. The main thing I was happy to experience iwth Dark Fall was that there are some actual puzzles. So many adventure games just have you find an item and take it to the correct place and call that a puzzle. A real puzzle involves finding clues to solving a puzzle where there are things you have to move around. The graphics are pretty decent. You aren't running into people so the game doesn't have to try and make life like humans as much as it is just making a 3d room to explore. Like I said before the game does give a nice creepy feeling as you explore but I don't think your character is any actual danger. Be sure to have some paper handy for note taking. I'm also happy to see this on GOG since I believe it was released by DreamCatcher Games or the Adventure Company in the U.S.A. and their older games seem to always have problems running on newer operating systems.
