Dark Strokes: Sins of the Fathers Collectors Edition Review (Windows PC)

Posted by Xira Enya, 4 days ago

If you’re into dark and creepy games with puzzles, then turn up the volume, turn off the lights and be ready to solve some mysteries! Even though this is an older and simpler game Dark strokes hidden object from alawarconcept, it still holds true for the modern casual gamer and may even surprise those who are unfamiliar with the genre. There is plenty going on to keep your brain busy and a very creepy and beautiful style to the artwork and story.

From the outside, Dark Strokes appears to be one of your typical “hidden object” games, but it takes a pretty interesting approach. While there are many hidden object scenarios as advertised, much of the gameplay borders point and click RPG. Not only that, but there is a variety of puzzle mini-games for getting past locks, solving riddles to progress through the story, and all sorts of interesting things to keep your mind engaged. If you’re into puzzles then this game will keep you very entertained.

Dark Strokes Story

The game starts out with you, some guy named Ethan, and your fiancé on a train to go visit your father. All is going well; that is until disaster strikes when some masked figures called “faceless ones,” sabotage your train ride and cause you to crash. From there, you must escape the crash and find clues to what is going on in the creepy town nearby. You must explore the town and investigate who the “faceless ones” are and why they are kidnapping people before it is too late!

I absolutely loved the style and colors; plus the way it tricks you into thinking it�s 3 dimensional is quite impressive.

Very fitting tracks to go with the mysterious story; lots of pretty piano music and background audio really sets the mood for the game.
