Dark Fall, Lost Souls is the 3rd game in the Dark Fall series by Jonathan Boakes of Darkling Room. It is not necessary to have played the earlier games (The Journal, Lights Out) but I'm sure that once you've played Lost Souls you will want to see what else Darkling Room has to offer.I cannot praise Lost Souls enough. The graphics, navigation, music, sound effects, gameplay, puzzles - all are of an excellent quality and take 'point and click' adventures on to a whole new level. The game is as creepy as hell and you will definitely find yourself checking behind you as some visual or audio event spooks you out. The gameplay is never dull and the length of the game was just right for me - it took me about 20 hours to complete.You play in 'first-person'as The Inspector - an ex police inspector who, several years before, investigated the disappearance of a young girl called Amy in the town of Dowerton. She was never found. You are back at Dowerton Railway Station and the Station Hotel, which are now in total disrepair due to them being abandoned shortly after Amy's disappearance. It is bonfire night and fireworks light up the sky above the eerie night-time setting. It soon becomes clear that some bad things have happened here. There are many lost souls - some good, some evil, lurking in the shadows. Some want to harm you but others need your help. You will be transported to times past in order to understand all the events that have taken place and to finally find your own fate. This is no ordinary place though. Jonathan Boakes, the creator, has surpassed himself in creating a world which is familiar enough to make you feel at home, yet weird enough to make it a very unsettling and scary place indeed.The puzzles are very well done and are of many varied types - inventory based, logic and others - hard enough to make you think without being impossible to complete. The game is gripping right through to the excellent finale.I recommend it 100%.

I too played this latest game, from Jonathan Boakes, and found it a darker, more sombre affair. There are drug and alcohol references, which explain the more mature rating given to the game, but I also found the story was nicely balanced between WWII nostalgia and modern urban horror. There are scenes set back in 1947 that simply ooze nostalgia, in honey coloured hues, enlivened by a period musical score that will delight anyone interested in Britain during World War 2.As someone who lives in a `modern, rural town', I found the references to teenage drug and alcohol abuse horribly familiar, and feel the game provided enough of a negative stance to suggest the writer is very much against what is happening to the smaller,neglected rural communities, where anti-social behaviour and crime is constantly on the up. But, like I've said, these elements are balanced very well with the `trips' to the past.The story is dark, but does offer salvation. The puzzles are clever, with little or no need for a walkthrough, (a couple of forgivable `pixel hunts' aside). The musical score is both appropriate to the settings (anything from 1940's Theatre Land to the urban metallic creaks of abandoned buildings), and the sound effects are very effective! Lots of the chills are sound based, so make sure your speakers are nice and loud! (Note to developers, a Soundtrack CD would have been a nice extra!)All in all, not a game for everyone, given the age rating, and true-to-life setting and story, but it comes highly recommended to those who enjoy something a little more immersive and narrative driven that the current flood of Hidden Object Games.

The Dark Fall games are without exception the best adventure and ghost games I have ever played - genuinely creepy and wonderfully engrossing.With Dark Fall:Lost Souls, Boakes has yet again surpassed himself. Dark, scary, captivating and nail-biting this game is amazing. It was wonderful to return to the hotel to find it darker and more twisted, the evil grown rather than diminished.The puzzles in the game made sense and fitted into the story rather than feeling crow-barred in to add extra challenge.I would advise saving frequently near the end in case you need to return to something.There are two difficulties, normal and easy. I played the normal version so do not know how much help easy gives you.I would suggest starting on normal and then switching to easy if you need to as it is possible to change difficulties at any time.

Without giving away any spoilers I have to say this game is darker, more disturbing and more macabre than any game I've played. It is well written and immersive. I think the author did a brilliant job writing a story that will leave people thinking about it long after they've played it through.There' s a nice mix of puzzles, from easy to more challenging, that fit the flow of the narrative.The graphics are great. Exploring the various locations is a visual treat. Even when nothing specific is happening, the evidence of entropy and decay is terrifying. The soundtrack works brilliantly alongside the graphics to convey a feeling of uneasiness and apprehension at all times.I loved it. I wish all games,and all films, were this good.

Brilliant! This is by far one of the creepiest ghost games i have ever played!Fantastic storyline, incredible graphics and very spooky music! The puzzles range from easy to hard so there is a lot of thinking to do and i would advise to play it with a notepad by your side for writing down any clues.A wonderful game which has obviously had a lot of time and effort put into the making.I would highly recommend this for any ghost, adventure, point and click game fan!!!

Dark Fall Lost SoulsI have played this extremely exciting and scarey game, it holds you in suspense from beginning to end, in fact I found it so enthralling that I have now completed it for the third time, to me its the best ghost adventure to have been written since the Lost Crown both having been written by Jonathan Boakes (Darkling Room) I hope there will be many more games to come from his pen.

without spoiling anything, the game is very creepy, and beautiful. interesting story and unique approaches.only negative i can come up with is the somewhat tedious control scheme. not hard, but it takes a long time to get anywhere. puzzles are somewhat on the hard/abstract side, which many people like however.overall, somewhat flawed, but very enjoyable and a great addition to the series.

OK, we've played all the Dark Fall games - this one is seriously scary - you really don't want to step through the next door. It is an excellent game.Why four stars? Because the rating says enjoyable but this grips you and sometimes that isn't enjoyable - but the game is all the better for it.
