Status : Online | Dark Fall - The Adventure Company will be publishing Dark Fall and Dark Fall II globally. Here are some brief details on the first game, Dark Fall.
Game Summary
“There is something here, a power, in here with us...."
Returning from work you listen to a frightened and cryptic voice message from your brother, a talented architect redeveloping the old Dowerton station in Dorset, England. Boarding a train to meet him, you travel to Dowerton alone, wondering what adventure you may be embarking on...
When you arrive, the train is empty and the station is deserted. You begin to explore - the train tunnels, the station, the adjoining hotel, and the grounds - and discover that although no one is there, you are not alone. Finding artifacts, ancient documents and a valuable journal, you realize that the area holds a history of disappearances and hauntings dating back centuries.
Time and history appear to repeating itself, but what is your role in all this? Why were you chosen for this task? What is the “Dark Fall”? Will you become consumed by the darkness as well?
Armed with ghost hunting gadgets, and using the clues left behind by the spirits, set out to uncover the mystery of Dark Fall.
It is always waiting...

Status : Offline | This is amazing news!!! Previously, the first game was only available through the developer's website. And since I hate ordering over the internet I never bought it. But I'll be able to buy it in stores now (well, soon)! Yeey!!!
I have already heard a lot of good comments about the first game. Anybody here already played it?
Anyway, thanks for the good news, gcurrie!

I got a credit card about three years ago so I could order games on-line. A whole new world opened up for me. All those wonderful adventures that NEVER made it to the Low Lands!
Anybody here already played it?
Sure. Dark Fall is in my top fifteen, maybe even my top ten.

Status : Offline | Great news George! The Adventure Company strikes again! I love Dark Fall Wimli. It is in my top ten! Hope this makes it easier for folks like you to enjoy it too.
Am impatiently waiting for Dark Fall II.
I have never had any trouble ordering games over the internet from independent developers. I have ordered games from Sweden, UK, Australia, and just recently from Italy (A Quiet Weekend in Capri).
Still adventuring after all these years!
Patiently awaiting The Last Crown: Haunting of Hallowed Isle, and Bracken Tor...
... and Asylum if it's not tooooo scary...

I have a credit card too and you're probably right about adventure games not released in our countries (except for Reah and Liath ), but I guess I'm still too damned paranoid about the whole internet. I prefer shopping in real stores where you can see what you buy. And besides I love the activity of shopping as well : Anyway, one day I'll get over my fear and discover that wonderful internet-world!
Sure. Dark Fall is in my top fifteen, maybe even my top ten.
Thanks Betje! I'll count that with all the other good things I've heard about it. In fact, I haven't heard from anyone that they didn't like it. Thank you Adventure Company!!!
Now here's hoping they'll actually get it in Belgian shores (haven't seen too many of their titles around here :-/)

I hope so too Adventuredog! Thanks for the recommendation!

I know, I know! It's just me! I probably got an overdose of paranoia after watching too many episodes of the x-files or something.

| Deleted User | Since I don't own a credit card either, being able to buy this one in stores will be a life-saver for me.
First Broken Sword 3, then the Jane Jensen game, and now this. Take that, all you Dreamcatcher haters!

Yeah, and I bet you recognized the quote from Discworld One. Played it years ago, but never finished it, don't remember why, some technical problem or corrupted disk or something. Funny game! Much funnier than Discworld Two, which I played last year. I think I've got to reshuffle my Top Twenty again. Much harder too, way too hard.

Don't get your hopes up, they're talking about Dark Fall One, not about Two. That one is still scheduled for the dark fall (pun intented).
