The only game on this
list yet to be reviewed (though that will soon change), Downfall
is the masterful creation of one person, Polish born Michal Michalski.
Created with Chris Jones’
AGS engine, Downfall features hand-drawn background
art with a washed-out look that just screams creepy. Currently working
as a male nurse in Exeter, England, Michal wrote Downfall while working as a nighttime care assistant in a mental health
institution while his patients were sleeping.
The main thrust of the
story is of a husband and his ill wife who decide to spend the night
in a small-town hotel in order to escape the driving storm. Upon awakening
the next morning, the wife is missing from her bed and the husband
begins a search that will take him, and you, to places you will have
wished you had never visited.
Downfall
is not for the squeamish as it is chock full of gore, violence, four-letter
words and nudity. It is also the most riveting, most disturbing game
I have ever played.
You can learn more about
Downfall and also purchase the game at its official
site.
