Dark Fall: The Journal

This is a horror game for people who like to take their time with a mystery and don't rush to turn off the lights. There are no monsters waiting around every corner: the fear builds from phone calls, footsteps and whispers while you try to work out what happened to the guests and staff of the hotel. The mood is quiet and uneasy, closer to an old point-and-click about an empty building than to a jump-scare shooter. What hooks you: - Your first sessions go to wandering the old station and hotel, where every door seems to hide something. - The ghost-hunting gadgets let you look into the past and hear those who left long ago. - The atmosphere rests on sound, so it plays noticeably better in a dark room with good speakers. - It has the feel of a Myst-style puzzle game, but with a much tenser sense that you are not alone. You get a Dark Fall: The Journal Global activation key, which appears on the order page right after payment. Activate it in Steam and the game shows up in your library. This Myst-style horror-adventure game will bring fear into your heart. From the very beginning you are exposed to an overwhelming but invisible ghost presence - strange calls, footsteps, voices from nowhere. In order to help your brother and survive you will need to solve the mystery of this abandoned, haunted place. And remember! Do not let it to find you! Do not let it to find you... Do not.. Let... find... The game is best played in a dark room with your speakers turned up. Unless you're scared, of course.
