The Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure
Nigel Danvers is on the run - two shadowy agents are on his tail, pursuing him across London to the grand train station at Liverpool Street. Nigel suspects that the afternoon's activities may be to blame! Travel with Nigel Danvers to an eerie seaside town on England's east coast. Learn to use advanced techniques used by real paranormal investigators, and uncover an ancient mystery and treasure. But, beware, not all of the towns residents will help in your mission, whether they are alive or dead. Inspiration from the haunting works of Charles Dickens, M.R. James, Arthur Conan Doyle, and E.F. Benson combines with real ghost-hunting gadgets to bring this frightening story to bone-chilling life. Success or failure in locating wandering spirits depends on your skill as an investigator. Placing motion detectors, night vision cameras, and temperature gauges correctly will reveal a location's haunted past, and expose terrifying apparitions. With nerves of steel, and wits to match, you will soon discover long lost secrets, previously known only to the dead!

The Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure Reviews
One really feels like a traveler to an old Saxon seaside town and exploring the area. The navigation interface - the traditional point and click system is easy to navigate and great for someone who gets motion sickness from the 1st person 3d view of most of the adventure games nowadays. The Graphics - The creator of the game has very artistically blends in the images of a real small seaside town with fictional elements which add an air of reality and beauty to the the game (I love the use of predominantly black and white images with a touch of color). I am not very much into ghost stories but this game gives a good scare without the blood and gore of some other games. The plot - it has a pretty well developed storyline and very creepy too. I love this adventure games for 3 reasons:.
I couldn't get enough of this game it was full of adventure that kept me playing for hours you will love it.
If you are looking for an adult game that both maintains one's interest and ends with satisfying ambiguity, I recommend the Lost Crown. The Lost Crown is a pleasure to play. The Lost Crown, however, done in black and gray with touches of color is beautiful to look at. The Lost Crown has a coherent tale to tell, unlike many adventure games, and the puzzles (with a few exceptions) are integrated into the story rather than clumsily grafted onto it. Many adventure games look cliched and/or ugly. The muted color palette also heightens the suspense of the story.
Half Life, Silent Hill, etc) rather than "Adventure Horror" (i.e. In the Lost Crown you do not have to fight anything, and for the most part you don't see anything gory (except for one disturbing scene, buts thats it). Prior to this game, I was very impressed with the game Scratches but felt like it ended too soon. Also, as with any adventure game, there are puzzles, but they make logical sense and keep the story going; In other words, you don't have to look at the walk-through.
Scratches, Black Mirror, Barrow Hill), then you will probably hate this game. My guess is, the couple of bad reviews out there are from people that are desensitized due to games where you have to fend off corpses, mutant corpses, or skinned zombie dogs. If this aspect bores you, you probably don't like most adventure games. If you prefer the "Survival Horror" type of game (i.e. This is probably the best adventure game I've ever played.
This game is amazing in its depth and scope - you really feel like you are getting your money's worth in game play. As for the scariness factor, I nearly peed myself at a couple of points in the game (and my husband too).; The game designer was really good at manipulating the atmosphere through music, lighting, and imagery to give you the jumps without relying on cheap blood and guts sequences. ** Note:.
The Black & White game play was a great surprise, it adds to the ambience of the game. Not too difficult to play, lots of interesting characters. For you feline lovers beware, some of the town kitties will suffer awfull demises (no real kitties were hurt. Hope to see new titles from this author. Great game to play at night in a darkened room with headphones. only animated ones), my wife did get a little upset at one point BUT she did finish the game and made sure that the evil villain got his dues.
