Trivia / Dark Fall

Go To

  • Acting for Two: Two ghosts of children in 2090 have no relation to Myles or Morgan Hart, despite having the same actors.
  • Adaptation Expansion: The Director's Cut of Lights Out has different versions of the journals and books within the time zones, some with added ominous music; more ghosts can be seen around the lighthouse, and interactive prompts can be used to talk to them rather than simply waiting for a response; and a few of the puzzles are made easier.
  • The Danza: Corbin Hart's children are named Myles and Morgan, which are also the first names of their actors. Ben from Ghost Vigil goes by the nickname "Bear", as does Matt Clark who played the character.
  • Defictionalization: One of the Fetch Rock mugs in Lights Out can be purchased from Darkling Room's online store, along with OPG memorabilia from Ghost Vigil.
  • Guilt-Based Gaming: Malakai needs people to help him get back to the time and place he came from, and you're the last one available since the others went nuts. But come on, does Malakai sound like someone you'd want to help? Sure, several of the vanished people deserve rescue, but the game doesn't actually hint that saving them is even possible until the space probe's parting words.
  • Prop Recycling: A book called "The Stationer's Guide to Photography", found in James Woolf's bedsheets, was eventually carried over to the Argentinian horror game, Scratches, partially developed by Boakes.
  • Technology Marches On: Apparently in 2090, DVDs, floppy disks, and MP3 players are still commonplace. Though Mitsoyu Taku calls the former "primitive" in one of her journal entries.
    • Played with throughout the game with items from future time periods scattered in past ones. The first example you find in-game is a floppy disk that has an EVP recording of Malakai, found in 1912. Mr. Demarion has no idea what it is, but the people at the Fetch Rock exhibit in 2004 still used floppies.
    • Justified in the case of Ghost Vigil's EVP recorder, which uses cassettes because they're what Real Life ghost-hunters employ in an attempt to capture ghostly sounds.
  • Throw It In!: A wind gauge in Lights Out spins backwards. Jonathan Boakes admitted it to be a graphical mistake, but left it in, because spooky.
