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!!!!!

I love this game, one of the best for ages. No edit that, the best for ages. bravo
I do like the fact that he will not leave a location until he has finished so you don't spend hours wandering around looking for things that are not there. bravo


Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.

Just installed Jonathan Boakes "The Lost Crown". My initial concern about the game's format in black and white soon abated. The eerie music and sounds at the beginning of the game blend beautifully with the graphics and story line. Looks like a keeper. Thank you Jonathan. bravo

Click to reveal..
When that bathroom door started shaking and the black shadow flitted by and then THE LIGHTS WENT OUT. eep


This just may be my favorite game ever!

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!).

My 7 year old niece happened to wander into my room (she lives with me) when I was exploring the church and the museum at night. She ended up sleeping in my bed last night!!

I started playing last night, and I'm just now about to begin Day Two. What a great game this is! So much atmosphere and tension, so many places to explore. No scares yet, but no doubt they'll be along shortly. grin

A classic, for sure. Just finished playing it, after four long sessions since last Saturday. Mr.Boakes knows what he's doing in keeping you hooked to your monitor.
Apart from the typical Boakes atmosphere and fascinating story I especially liked the coloured details against the black and white photographic backgrounds. They reminded me a lot of Jaques Tati's bl/w movie Jour de Fete from 1948, in which the festival(!) terrain is littered with colourful balloons and small banners.
I can only say: Thanks Jonathan for many hours of thrilling gameplay!

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!!! bravo

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. think

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. bravo Jonathon, you outdid yourself.

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?) eek

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!
bravo

I can't wait for the next game!
