As Darkness Falls 2 by CJ592

It's not really a sequel, but it has the same sort of feel as the first ADF game.
You play an investigator of the supernatural. You have heard rumours of a demonic presence in a haunted manor house. it is your job to investigate the area and, if possible, destroy the demon within.

Sorry Kmo73, CJ592 has not been seen on the site for a few years and I've never played this game. All I can suggest is that you wade through earlier comments...or just persevere! :)

I'm a bit late to the party here but I'm really stuck. I have the pot, driftwood, aerial, sign, loft key, screwdriver, specimen jar & vinegar
How do i lift the drain?

And what tool do I need to take the spear?

Comment bozwellox

24 Jul 2018

Struggling to find the putty and the pen! I've opened the loft door with the key, I've used the toy brick and water on the drain so I can see the key, so I assume I need to use the putty on the aerial. But where is the putty??

Review funkyspunk90

Minimal, with not much detail, more puzzle-based than storytelling.
Could've been much better if it didn't make silly mistakes that make puzzles much more awkward in so many ways - When you get stuck it's not because the puzzles are hard; it's because they're implemented so awkwardly:
It's very picky with which verbs/objects you can use, even when you're trying to do the right thing. The game-suggested verbs you can click on are more misleading than useful: It supplies a "use" buttons for objects which says 'you cant use that here', but often you *can* use the object but have to type something else, specifically and exactly (no useful feedback is given). "Look at" & "examine" are used completely separately, so when you work that out you have to use both on EVERY object.

A bit of polishing and testing could have made this much more entertaining and puzzling rather than just frustratingly non-designed.

After becoming frustratingly stuck - I've got as far as making the candles and trying to work out the tripod and laser etc - and after repeatedly examining and looking at the statue, plinth and spear, all of a sudden a new path (to the graveyard) has been revealed. Strange that it has only just appeared, but cracking on with it.....

Is there a bug in my game? I've stuck the putty to the tripod but I still can't use the laser pen with either the tripod or the putty. Any hints? Enjoying it so far....

this was really fun! I love your games, they're always pretty interesting. only got stuck a couple times, but that was mostly due to not knowing the commands for certain things. the car bit took me FOREVER in the garage. I liked the supernatural element of this, and the chandelier element...they're always mysterious and fun. great game!

I'm quite stuck now. I've done all right myself and with a bit of help from these comments, but now I'm trying to do two things: make candles and move the car in the garage. any assistance would be appreciated as I'm fresh out of ideas.

Comment danaburgerrr

12 Jan 2015

to lower the chandelier, first use "turn handle" when you are in the part of the balcony where the handle is. then, when it prompts you on whether you'd like to raise or lower the chandelier, use "lower chandelier."

Comment Nanuck

08 Apr 2014

Restarted and found the graveyard (cracking the code early does not help) but I can't finish the game because I can't work out the wording to lower the chandelier.

I cracked the safe, though I don't know if I was meant to go to the graveyard first.

Comment Nanuck

I can't get into the graveyard. I have the pen, the putty, the spear (I read about the code) and some candles but someone's mentioned a telescope and I can't find that. When I try the pen on the putty on the tripod it says I have to do something first. I've looked at and xd the statue and plinth but no joy. If I can't get to the matches I'm done in. Any help please?

Comment Sandy Leung Kar-sing

also forgot the usefulness of the screwdriver... you always need one!

Review Sandy Leung Kar-sing

13 Jun 2012

finished! turns out the command is "use pot on a-frame"

First, I'll say where my opinions come from... I tend to be more from the text-based MUD crowd but moved on to playing a lot of older and newer text adventures.

Frustrating at times but a really good puzzle game that's a good blend of classic text adventure intuition and common sense. I'm not from the era of the old school text adventures games so some of the commands to me aren't as intuitive and involve finding the correct syntax like "lift carpet" or "push button" (instead of press button). The putty business on the tripod and the laser (its a good thing I didn't try to turn it on) also threw me off, and it took me over three tries to figure out how to find the gravestone when the laser was on. Overall a very nice job - there weren't any glitches in the game.

Comment Sandy Leung Kar-sing

What is the correct terminology for boiling the seawater?

I used driftwood on campfire, use matches on campfire, but I can't use pot on campfire.

@ Dani, you should look at and examine the statue at the ornamental garden.

I'm seriously stuck... can't get the window to open.
I have boomerang, matches, vinegar, screwdriver, sign, putty, and pot with seawater. I used the driftwood on the campfire and lit it. Any help please?

Comment Ronan

19 Nov 2010

Hey CJ

I have examined the chandelier, and have discovered it is made of iron and in the shape of a pentagram. I have lowered it, placed the candles in it, lit them, and raised it. Yet, nothing happened. I lowered it again, and still nothing. I have attempted to create the salt circle, but it tells me it is not time for that yet. I am absolutely stymied by this game, which is brilliant, by the by. I know I'm missing something obvious, but just cannot figure it out. If you could give another wee hint, it would be most welcome. Thanks.

You throw the spear aiming straight for the demons chest.

And with a loud bang it explodes into pieces...

07 Dec 2009

Ha ha ha, that was a nail-biter at the end. I really enjoyed this game. I couldn't give it a 5, because it was a little squirrelly. It was duplicating inventory items & the end was very anti-climactic. Not sure if it was supposed to end this way, but mine just ended...

"> throw spear

Comment Brian

I've tried looked at it, examined it, used every item on it, pushed it, spoke to it, pulled it, tried to lift it. I even tried to make sweet love to it. I did notice, while looking at the hedge, that the southeast corner is damaged, but don't know what to do with that information.

Comment CJ592

06 Dec 2009

Yes you need to find the graveyard first. Check the statue in the garden.

Comment Brian

06 Dec 2009

Alas, I have yet to locate the graveyard. I thought the pen was going to lead the way. And I have tried sticking the pen & going North quickly, but as soon as I leave the room, the pen falls. Great game by the way! I haven't played text adventures since I was a kid & was happy to find this site.

Comment CJ592

06 Dec 2009

Hi Brian. When you place the pen there, get to the cemetery as quickly as possible, That way you can find out which grave its pointing at :)

Comment Brian

06 Dec 2009

At wits end, with the laser pen. I have (seemingly) tried every command to see where the laser pen is pointing, but it keeps sliding off the putty & tripod. It says I must act quick, but everything I enter is wrong I guess. Small hint please.

Do you have the blade? raise the chandelier make the salt circle then when the demon is there cut the rope.

Comment max

04 Dec 2009

I'm not sure how "capture the demon." I have the blood candles in the chandelier and they're lit. But should it be raised or lowered? Do i need to lower it after I make the salt circle?

Comment CJ592

03 Dec 2009

Have you captured the demon in the ring of iron?
The candles will have to be lit

Comment max

03 Dec 2009

*Sigh*.

I keep dying at the hands of the demon. I think I'm following the directions in the manuscript, and my salt seems to be effective. However when I throw the stone, it just lands a little distance away from me. Do I have to be in a certain place to throw the spear? Also, what position does the iron blood ring need to be in? Should I light it before or after I summon the demon?

Comment Tim Hamilton

03 Dec 2009

I am an american also however I also had a hard time with this one. It has nothing to do with the name on the grave only the scrawled message in blood.
Say "for one i know" ten times fast. thats how I got it finally.

Comment max

Apparently I can't decode the gravestone message. I believe I know the first two numbers. The second two numbers sound more like letters to me. I'm an American. Do I have to say it out loud quickly with a British accent?
