Nocturnal: Boston Nightfall - Watch Out...They're Around

This game, Nocturnal: Boston Nightfall, developed by Gameshastra and published by Big Fish Games, has its pros and cons (just like most of the casual games), but it definitely will be a unique experience considering the main theme.

Imagine one day your life changes in a dramatic way with no option to get back.

This is what has happened with our main character, Claire. The first time we meet her lying on the stairs after being attacked by a creature.

The details of the accident she finds out much later with the help of a young man named Alonso. He explains to her what has happened and takes her under his supervision.

Why would she need that? Because she has been attacked by a vampire and now her only option is to create a special "Essence" to become a nocturnal. Otherwise she becomes one of those evil creatures.

The overall look of the game matches the theme very well. The music is quite modern and fits the urban scenes. The graphics are in the comic form and the look of the characters is not the one you would want to be se by your children.

The way the girls are dressed up and the life style they have is more for an adult game. Look at the screenshots to see what I mean.

The game offers mosly hidden object levels with several mini-games in between. The seek-and-find part isn't that easy, especially because of the hits limit and especially in the timed mode where you get 6 seconds off your time for random clicking.

The mini-games are nothing extremely new but may be a great challenge. The are a straightforward memory card game, a lock-picking game, and finally, a Simon Says-style memory game.

This is all about Nocturnal: Boston Nightfall. With all its high- and "low"lights the game is special with its dark and gloomy theme.
