DarkFall

By XXv Productions and Jonathan Boakes

Walkthrough by MaGtRo July, 2002

Revised: August, 2003

Game Play: For 2002 released games - On early released games, place the CD gold tinted side down on the CD drive. On newly released games, play the game using the black side down. Right click and explore the CD drive in My Computer and read about the hints/tips/tricks/making of... The game needs to be played in 640x480 screen area setting and at 32 bit True Color. There is no installation of the game and runs directly from the CD. Just open or double click (if auto-run is off on the computer) the DarkFall.exe. The Load, Save and Quit buttons are found in the top right corner of the screen. I recommend making a new folder with Dark Fall Saves as label on either the desktop or at 'My Documents'. Open it and place the saved games in it. There is no save or load available during the introductory or end sequences.

For 2003 released games - The installation is the usual procedure. There is a large file that is installed midway the process that might seem to stop the installing process. Wait a while and the installation process proceeds normally after that large file. After installation, CD in the drive is not needed to play the game.

The game is point and click manipulation. Subtitles can be launched using F1 and must be pressed whenever the game is launched. To talk to the ghosts a "SAY" button will appear at the bottom right corner of the screen. Type in your questions or statements. This is required at the end of the game to read an incantation. There are several gadgets necessary in the game: Lantern, Tracker (finds electromagnetic source), Goggles (use when the tracker shows peak activity), CCTV (found in Room 2D and used to view several rooms in the hotel) and the Thermocamera.

Some of the atmosphere described such as phone calls, energy orbs floating, ambient sounds happens at random and may or may not experience them as I did at the time you visit a certain place.

Listen to a message from your brother Pete Crowhurst. Something is wrong, very wrong... I am in Dorset.... with 2 students from Weymouth University - Polly and Nigel, ghost hunters..... I need you to come here! Whatever they have been hunting has found them, found me too... Take the train from Paddington to Weymouth and then take a cab to Dowerton station....

Turn and he says You can't see me, you'll understand later but I can see you. Go forward, turn right and read the newspaper on the ground. Came from London in '41, had breathing problems. The Dorchester Messenger dated May 16, 1947 wrote about 6 people that vanish from hotel. The police believed that the owner, Mr. George Crabtree is directly involved. I can see others.

Cryptogram - Look in the other box and arrange the pieces of paper by click-hold to move them around. This paper is for information only and no distinct sound to show completion of the puzzle. It is a clue to the cryptogram letter. R is obviously I, so I = R, so D = W? Look on the side table, note the puzzle box and read a cryptogram letter from GC. H = S, L = O, T = G, F = U, V= E, G = T, S = H, D = W, O = L, M = N, etc. Andrew, Guard the skin with your life! I know I sound like a madman. Edith is feeling inclined to phone the police...

Turn around and look close at the trash can by the door. Pick up the torn letter and put them together. I never imagined I would have to put these words down on paper. I wish I did not have to write this note... but something must be said in the way of an explanation. Oh what have I done... it's too late for sympathy. I nleased, it tricked me.... I promise, I had no intentions to let it loose, why would I. Its here now. I foolishly thought that perhaps... well... perhaps it would bring Arther back. It would whisper at my door, it would creep and hide in the dark shadows of the hotel, it would conjure up the dead for its pleasures, and feeding, but all the time I thought that I had some power over it. The ancient runes hold the key to its bondage, if only......
