Dark Parables: The Match Girl’s Lost Paradise is everything you’ve ever come to expect from Blue Tea Games and the Dark Parables franchise. It’s breathtakingly beautiful in every way. There are scenes so pretty I got lost in them. Just look at how sparkly that night sky is!
If you’re familiar with the story of The Little Match Girl, you’ll know that it is horribly and tragically sad. Seriously… read this to your kids if you want to traumatize them! For those of you who don’t know… the basic story is a little girl tries to sell matches in the depth of winter. But it’s so cold, that she starts to light her matches. Each match shows her a vision of something she desires ending with her grandmother taking her in her arms and carrying her away… yeah… she’s slowly freezing to death. Lovely tale really…
Anyhow, this Dark Parables game, takes inspiration from that story, but this little match girl is anything but willing to lie down and die. She apparently has been selling matches to some not very nice people and then laughing like a crazy person as they burst into flames… or at least that’s what it appears is happening. It’s up to you, as the detective on this case to get to the heart of the matter and figure out what the heck is going on.
Dark Parables: The Match Girl’s Lost Paradise is available in a Collector’s Edition at the moment, but you won’t have too long to wait for the standard edition to come out, if you’d prefer to not splurge on the CE. Although, it’s so hard to resist with a Dark Parables game as they usually make it worth your while with a lot of bonus goodies. This game is no exception as you have a bonus chapter to play, some beautiful concept art and wallpapers and music, as well as an integrated Dark Parables: The Match Girl’s Lost Paradise Walkthrough.
The game is available to play in 3 difficulty modes, casual, hard, and insane. You can also customize your play style, a feature we’ve been seeing a lot of lately in the hidden object puzzle adventure games.
You can play an entire 90 minutes for free if you’re not sure you’re ready to pull the trigger on Dark Parables: The Match Girl’s Lost Paradise. Just click on the “install” button above to get started!
