I don't have much spare time but what I do have is devoted to Darkness Falls. (link below) Know why? Because it allows me to stretch my imagination and creativity in ways most other online games don't. Oh, sure, if you log in it looks simple, maybe even boring but don't be deceived. What it lacks in graphics it more than makes up for in complexity and challenges.
I mean where else can you create a character and take them from zero to superhero or even villain with just a few clicks? And best of all write about it! It's so addictive I've created over six characters now. Each one distinct individuals that come with their own challenges as I try to build their stats and play the game.
And the other players are so much fun to interact with! What fun we have plotting and planning our character's demise or rise in the city! And being beta, it's still growing. Oh sure, there's bugs but they're taken care of so quickly and with such swift efficiency they might as well not be there at all. It's a growing community of players as diverse as the characters and that's what makes it so awesome to me.
With all of that, you might think it's a kid's game. It's not. In fact, it's inspired me to write a series of books based on the game. I won't give any spoilers yet but I know I'm going to have fun writing each story. And if you feel like checking it out, just click the link below.
