The Lost Crown: A Ghost-Hunting Adventure in Stores Now

I have been telling you about The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure since we got the first press release on it back in August 2007. By now, I am sure you have made an educated guess that the whole ghost hunting thing is a hobby of mine and that I have been pretty excited to see how realistic the game depicts the equipment that real ghostbusters use. After playing the demo, I can safely say that it is pretty realistic in that department and that so far it seems like a decently fun suspense-adventure PC game.

Today, Got Game Entertainment announced that the The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure is now sitting on North American retail shelves. Created by adventure gaming legend Jonathan Boakes (“Dark Fall”, “Dark Fall II: Lights Out”) and his Darkling Room team, this suspense-adventure game for the PC combines a dense, rich, spine-tingling story inspired by classic ghost stories with today’s modern ghost-hunting techniques. The intuitive interface allows players to wield the tools of a paranormal investigator, and the game contains actual E.V.P. (Electronic Voice Phenomena) recordings taken of “real ghosts” along with actual unexplained entities captured by Boakes while he was researching the game.

Inspired by the works of Charles Dickens, M.R. James, Arthur Conan Doyle, and E.F. Benson, The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure features a world of part black and white and part color against a backdrop of wind-swept coastlines and crumbling crypts featuring puzzles and interactions with the town locals, earthly and otherwise. Skills at ghost-hunting and detecting paranormal activity directly affect how the game continues.
