Evaluation

The Lost Crown is a point-and-click ghost-hunting adventure that originally released in 2008 and came to Steam on June 6, 2014 in an enhanced edition. At launch on Steam, the developer announced that this was the "first of four instalments" in a planned "Crown Quadrilogy," with the next entry — The Last Crown: Blackenrock — promised for later in 2014. However, those sequel announcements were made on June 6, 2014, and referred to separate games in the series, not additional content for The Lost Crown itself. The only post-launch content for this game was its official soundtrack, released on October 29, 2015. There have been no developer communications since 2014, no additional DLC, no roadmaps, and no announcements of content updates. The game launched as a self-contained, complete product and received only its soundtrack as a supplementary release. With no evidence of any further content plans for this specific game, it is considered a finished product as of the soundtrack release on October 29, 2015.

About this game

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!
