I haven't gotten there yet, but I have heard Professor Oogle mentioned. I'll be listening for his voice now. It's a great game so far!

Speaking of voices has anyone come across a way to adjust the sound parameters. I have just started the game and I am having a hard time understanding what Jonathon.....ER....Nigel is saying as the background noises are so high. Or is everyone using the subtitles.......or maybe its just me.

I'm not having any troubles either Greyfuss. I do have issues with some of the ghostly voices, but i think I am supposed to. Ana

my Lost Crown review might also be off the mark - LOL, looks like I was spot on. Is that review available yet? (I could not find it) Thanks Bill

I have been playing since Friday and I LOVE IT!!!! You know it's a good game when you find ourself thinking about it when you are supposed to be working! I really love the use of color , great story and the game seems to be HUGE! I was so tempted to call in sick to work ! I don't think it's anywhere near as scary as the Dark Falls, but I think that's because it's third person. That's my one and only complaint - I normally dislike third person games. It's just not as immersive and I think characters in a game kind of ruin the high level of graphics for me. I don't think technology is quite up to believable peoples yet!! But all that doesn't at all damper my enthusiasm for the game!! It's fantastic and it was WELL worth the wait!!! YAY Jonathan!!!!!

Playing now. This is one of the best games I have played in awhile. Creepy, scary, and altogether exciting. I can't stay away from it for long. Kudos to Jonathan Boakes (you did it again!).

A crazy weekend cut into my gameplay time but I intend to make up for that this week! I just woke up to day two after a night out exploring. It's fantastic so far. Love the creepy atmosphere. No big scares yet but I'm sure they are coming... Loving every minute of this game!!!

I finished the game last night - magnificent, thoroughly enjoyed it. I read that some of the photographic images/recordings included in the game were genuine and taken from Jonathan's ghost-hunting research. Does anyone know which these were? I've looked and listened, but everything seems to me to have been created specifically for the game.

Alas...all good things must come to an end. What an absolutely fabulous game, I feel more like I lived it than played it. What a spectacular journey that was. Jonathon, you outdid yourself. Ana

I have to add my two cents as well. I just finished the game and it was simply fantastic. It kept me totally absorbed. I felt like I was right there in Saxton. (Was I the only one really really creeped out by Jemima?) The game was so well thought out and developed. I love games where there's plenty of places to explore and lots of places to click. The characters were interesting to interact with and just creepy enough to add some spice. I loved the black and white background with the occasional hints of color. All in all, just fantastic. Thank you, Jonathan Boakes! I can't wait for the next game! Gail

Oh no I've come to the end of a great adventure I always thought of Syberia 1&2 as the game I got immersed the most but now The Lost Crown is in 1st place. Jonathan if you are ever in the Bullers the pints are on me.
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

Thanks Ana, I hadn't noticed the link but I can see myself using it in the future. I had a moment of heart failure yesterday when I struck a glitch with the museum lift on night two, I was just looking at the closed lift doors with no cursor and no Nigel to be seen. But I've installed the patch and on we go, oh some deliciously creepy moments in the museum. Teresa
