Adventure Gamers last spoke with Jonathan Boakes back in 2003, when he was finishing up work on his second game, Dark Fall II: Lights Out. Since then he's gone on to create the Aggie Award-winning The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure, which proved to be another cult hit among his growing following of horror fans. But there's something about the Dark Fall universe that seems to draw Boakes back, and Adventure Gamers right along with him, as the acclaimed indie designer is returning to the series this year with Dark Fall: Lost Souls.
With work on the new game well along in production, they knew it was high time to flag Jonathan down again for a little chat… or as it turned out to everyone's benefit, quite a lengthy and insightful one.

GG3 is back with more gameplay commentary from games that are currently on offer in packages. The latest promotion comes from Indie Royale, with their Halloween 2 Bundle that has an impressive 9 games. From those, the eerie Dark Fall: Lost Souls will provide the background for further details.
DHGF: Back in 2008, Darkling Room released what is one of the absolute best adventure and/or horror games ever made – The Lost Crown. It was a follow up of sorts to 2003′s Dark Fall: The Journal, which is almost universally in every “Top Ten Horror Game” list by anyone who has actually played more than the Resident Evil and Silent Hill franchises. Somehow, The Lost Crown surpassed it in every way and it went on to win multiple awards from us in 2008. Since then, fans of Darkling Room and Jonathon Boakes have been waiting, waiting and well…waiting for the next game in the series, The Last Crown.
