Ghost-hunter Nigel Danvers and his colleague Lucy Reubans investigate strange events in Saxton, a small town on England’s foggy coast. Their inquiry connects local hauntings to an ancient mystery surrounding the Lost Crown.
Explore the town and its isolated surroundings, including coastal sites and crumbling crypts. Speak with locals, examine places and objects, and use ghost-hunting equipment—including an electronic voice recorder and night-vision camera—to investigate paranormal activity.
Progress through a point-and-click adventure with puzzles and interactions in both first- and third-person views. Exploration, conversations, and clues gradually reveal more of Saxton’s history and the mystery behind the hauntings.
In the supplied reviews, players who enjoy the game often praise its eerie, distinctive atmosphere, its unfolding mystery, and its old-school point-and-click charm. Some also like the ghost-hunting elements and the slow discovery of the town. Others find the movement and pacing sluggish, puzzles occasionally difficult to work out, and dialogue or voice acting uneven.
Unravel an ancient mystery and search for an ancient treasure on England's fog-shrouded coastline, famed for its legends of smugglers, pirates and ghosts. Join ghost-hunters Nigel Danvers and Lucy Reubans as they investigate a tale of horror and haunting. Wielding the tools of the modern-day ghost-hunter in a cinematic, richly detailed interactive world of wind-swept coastlines and crumbling crypts, you will be captivated, taunted and teased by mind-bending puzzles and interactions with the town 'locals'. But, be warned, there are those who will stop at nothing to prevent Nigel discovering "that which should stay hidden". With nerves of steel and wits to match, in your search for The Lost Crown you will soon discover long lost secrets previously known only to the dead!
