About
The Fall of April is the fourteenth game in the Carol Reed series. Set in Sweden Carol helps her friend Andrea who suffers from temporary memory loss induced by a drug. Soon it turns out this event is not only tied to the unresolved murder of Andrea's daughter two years before, but also to a Swedish Arctic balloon expedition in 1915. The game uses its trademark first-person view with photographs of real locations and objects in a fixed-screen slideshow style. There are puzzles to solve with items stored in an inventory near the top of the screen. A journal is used to keep track of objectives.
