 Creepy, and difficult August 3, 2010
S. Clark (Virginia, USA)
Like it's predecessor Darkfall: The Journal, Light's Out is big on ambiance. It will definitely creep you out. And the growing sense of "Oh my, what happened to these people?!" is great. I don't want to ruin the plot, but I will say that there is some time travel involved and that I was surprised at the nature of the "big bad" - not what I was expecting! There is a lot of back and forth, putting pieces together from different areas to solve the puzzle to get to the next area. But most of it is pretty solvable. There were only a few tricky instances.
 Horrible ending May 25, 2010
Christina G. Geving
I ordered the first Dark fall and this one together didn't like the first one and was hoping this would be better. I liked that you were able to go to different time periods and i really wanted to finish the game. the ending was horrible didn't explain anything i had no idea what the whole point of the game was. traveling to different time periods had nothing to do with the ending it didn't explain why anything had happened. seemed like a waste of timing having to go back and forth figuring everything out. i was very disappointed.
Play it if you have played Dark Fall: The Journal January 30, 2009

If you have played Syberia I & II, you know the story isn't complete until you finish the second one. Similarly, to find out why the underlying evil keeps resurfacing through the ages, you have to play Lights Out the sequel to The Journal. The game can stand on its own, but it helps a little to have played the earlier game.
Lights Out is not as difficult as The Journal. It has more unnecessary details (like being able to get closeup views of all the curios in the gift shop), but that makes the important ones easier to find. Some of the puzzles are a little illogical, but puzzles are puzzles. You work with what you have. The graphics are better; the sound is also - there is a problem on my system of opening and closing doors being very loud compared to all other sounds.
The story is interesting, with a little twist at the end to explain it all. The ending is sudden and something of disappointment. I think it was meant to be "scary", but no game can really achieve fear. It's just pixels, folks.
