It knows my name ... I've got to open the door!" Dark Fall, to be sure, made me think of Amber and the Shivers series, but mostly I'm remembering one of my favorite adventure games—John Saul's Blackstone Chronicles. There, instead of a hotel, we have a shut-down mental hospital being explored, with its share of very sad, stripper sometimes bizarre, ghostly and ghastly stripper secrets. Accompanying my plaudits, though, are a few concerns. I find the 640x480 resolution an unfortunate choice, wishing the minimum full screen was at least 800x600. Further, one shouldn't have to stripper play a new release in Windows XP compatibility mode. In that regard, I did experience a couple of save game crashes with my XP 1.8 gig system. The 90-degree screen movement is sometimes limiting and is not something we're used to with newer games. Although the freedom of exploration and nonlinearity are generally positives, there are occasions where a piece of information is needed that will require "going back" if not already secured.
