![]() They are, frankly, a great pairing and you can’t imagine anyone else playing the parts. What makes the game though is the chemistry between the two – this is always entertaining and full of mischief. She has a brilliant American accent as well, which is made even clearer when she switches to her native English during one part. Leah Cunard plays the part of Munro and she delivers a stunning performance one that is full of heart and nuance. ![]() He is pompous, sometimes leering, but has a large heart. He has a superb voice, like an old actor or storyteller weaving tales from the crypt. Poe is played by Klemens Koehring and he does a great job. So let’s chat about the performers themselves. I was completely invested in each episode and fell in love with the characters. You see, these productions don’t come with a huge budget attached in terms of filming or effects, but how D’Avekki Studios compensate is by making a game that is full of energy, great performances, and clever writing. For me, someone who has now played a lot of this genre, it stands out as one of the best of the bunch, and that’s all thanks to the writing and its charm. Whether you get anything out of Dark Nights though will entirely depend on how well-versed you are with the FMV scene. Needless to say, I made some very weird choices compared to normal people. But you’re not alone in making these choices, with a list popping up at the conclusions showing all of the decisions you made per episode, with a percentage next to it to show how others from around the world made their choices. In fact, should you choose to use a certain object in one playthrough, but then select another in a different playthrough, you will happen across different endings. With each episode you will find yourself taken on a variety of paths and various conclusions. In fact, that’s what I love about this piece of writing the most – it’s hugely camp at times and wonderfully playful, constantly winking at the audience as it deals with all sorts of mysterious shenanigans. Needless to say, that it is very meta and extremely clever. There is also a great episode where Monro gets hypnotised and ends up back in the previously mentioned Doctor Dekker as a character the same actress played back then. Another deals with a story that is a combination of Oscar Wilde’s Dorian Grey, supernatural prisons, and different realities. In one we get to hear them being stalked by a possible murderer, whilst in another there is a tale of a werewolf sighting. The setup is that the radio programme they present delves into the unusual happenings of August in each episode. Munro is an intelligent American woman who is both thoughtful and insightful. ![]() Poe is a sort of Vincent Price English gent flamboyant and flawed. ![]()
