Lost Souls is the third in the Dark Fall franchise of games and sees the player taking the role of the Inspector, a man literally haunted by his past. The latest title returns us to the English village of Dowerton and, more specifically, its train station and adjoining hotel, which was the location for the first game in the series. It’s fair to say that if you have played the previous instalments then you’ll pretty much know what to expect, and Lost Souls shares the same highs and lows as its predeccessors.

Considering the range of free-roaming PC games out there, Lost Souls feels like a dinosaur even when compared to other games in the point-and-click genre, which rarely command big enough budgets to fund much innovation.
