It is harp strings

Really? Wow. One of my best friends is a harpist and I've never heard her's sound like that. Very effective for the games.

I have just escaped from the church at night, but the character has woken up again. The church part, especially outside was very scary as I expected something to pop up right infront of the camera.

I'm about to go there Doffy90. I keep biting my nails during my play
Does anybody have tried the web site written on the poster in the museum? It is www.saxtonmuseum.co.uk. I didn't expect to exist... Very interesting stuff there

There is time yet Wait till you get to that 2nd church

I know i know

Aw, man! I'm housesitting until Sunday and my game is loaded up on my home computer. Reading this thread is making me jealous. I wanna play! I haven't played since Saturday. I'm at the part where I'm...



I think it's time to purchase a laptop so I can game when I'm away from home.

Volkana - I just checked out that site after reading your post. Did Jonathan create that just for the game?

I am on day 3 with Proffesor Hardcore. I just want to say, this game has the most interesting storyline, and it is the best adventure game I have played thus far. Being a woman, I have even overlooked the main character is a man that never changes his clothes! LOL I think of this everytime he grabs his coat and hat and wakes up in the same clothes.

My favorite part thus far was setting up the computer ghostbuster on the table and watching the rooms for ghost activity. Wouldn't it be fun to have another game with more of that tech equipment? I do miss the beautiful color in a game, but I must admit I appreciate the glimpses of colored graphics even more.

Happy ghosthunting to all

Only problem is that my memory is very short term when it comes to adventure games and I havent played the game since like last week so I don't remember much.

I honestly don't know but i find it very interesting. Maybe someone else will be able to tell us... It's a real city after all... After playing that game i'm not sure if i ever want to visit Saxton

Dear Mr. Boakes:

Thank you for your interest in the beautiful town of Saxton! Yes, we have an intriguing history, and many surprises for those who wish to visit us and explore our ancient environs!

One small request -- in your next game, could you, well, put in more flowers and fewer terrifying characters? The shopkeepers and restaurant owners feel that scaring visitors half to death may discourage them from coming to see us again.

Many regards --

Saxton Village Council
Since 1066 (and probably earlier)

LOL Especially at night, Volkana! I'm wondering if The Bear really exists. There is a link to their menu but I don't know if that's real or just him having fun being creative.

Hmmm... I'm looking at a trip to England/Scotland/Ireland next spring with a friend. Wonder if I could convince her to spend a day in Saxton?

Just posted and then saw Becky's reply between mine and Volkana's. Was that on the site we're talking about, Becky?

I can't even play the game not visiting the town ...

This is the next game to play on my list.
Reading all these posts tells me I'm in for a lot of fun.
Now if :spring: could really get here.

Oh yes you will... Hope you can handle horror games cause i'm not and i'm having really hard time. Can't imagine how the other gamers play this game at night. I;m playing it during the day as rediculus as it sounds at i'm still having an unusual hard beat

Blanket over the head job

As you said... Not working... It's strange though... I;m afraid and at the same time i want to look...

Reminds me of me when I was kid and going to horror movies at the local theatre. Use to cover my face with my hands but always spread my fingers apart

Yeah, it's a site created by Darkling Room for the game. They just have the real site location hidden in a frame so that the saxton url doesn't change. Here's where the site is actually located: http://www.darklingroom.co.uk/saxtonmuseum

There were so many things I loved about this game. I tend to play games as quickly as I can, to find out the ending, but I took several weeks and really savored this one. A few highlights for me:

-No glitches!
-The wonderful storyline, with its twists and turns.
-The dandelion seeds floating in the breeze near the lighthouse.
-The beautiful views of the moon.
-Using the special gadgets and equipment. I want a night vision camcorder now!

Those are just a few of the many things I loved about the game. It is now #1 on my list of favorite games, and I don't anticipate it moving from that position for a very long time.

No glitches as long as you download the updated patch. (Time-travelling walkie talkies can be a little frustrating!)

Oh gosh. I just finished it and it was amazing from the start to the end. My favourite parts were:

- art direction (loved the use of black and white and colour splashes)
- creepiness
- using all the ghost hunting tools
- storyline and "history" of Saxton and surrounding areas

I am really hoping there is a sequel!

Now I have to play Dark Fall 1 & 2 along with Barrow Hill. I have them both and almost traded them but glad that I kept them.

I liked where Lucy karate kicked down the door instead of fooling with the latch.

Dear Saxton Village Council,

Long have you known that there is something wrong with our village. It is constantly shrouded in fog. The locals move in a strange way (robotic doesn't even come close!), and the food is eccentric at best (spring rolls and chicken pie? to feed to a pig??!!! How is one expected to eat around here!!!). Plus, you insist on painting our community in only black and white terms!

There is a puzzle at the heart of our community, that I wish to bring to peoples attention. I am a Saxton resident, and have been for many years. I love this town. But...I must admit...it's rather odd.

P.s. Just you wait till voting day!!!

Rumor has it that that villainous lawyer fellow from Scratches has gone on the run and may have gone to Saxton, where he'd be posing as a resident to hide his true criminal self. The previous correspondent is, how shall I say, something of a fit there. Not that I wish to accuse...
