Dark Fall 2: Lights Out is a psychological horror adventure game developed by XXv Productions and released for Windows in 2004. It’s the indirect sequel to Dark Fall: The Journal and blends eerie storytelling with first-person exploration in a haunted setting. You play as Benjamin Parker, a cartographer who arrives in the fog-shrouded harbour town of Trewarthan, Cornwall, to map the coastline — only to become entangled in the mysterious disappearance of three lighthouse keepers at Fetch Rock Lighthouse.
As you investigate, the story unfolds across four different eras through time portals, mixing supernatural elements with historical narrative. Throughout your journey you use ghost-hunting equipment and investigative tools to communicate with the dead, solve puzzles, and uncover the truth behind the lighthouse’s darkness.
The game’s point-and-click mechanics and static pre-rendered visuals heighten the atmosphere of dread and mystery, making it a compelling experience for fans of classic horror adventures. Although its graphics and gameplay are dated by modern standards, the strong atmosphere, chilling soundtrack, and layered narrative still appeal to players who enjoy slow-burn mystery and exploration.
