Nigel Danvers: “The figures...nothing but shadows...they won't let me go back”. Two shadowy
agents, Mr.Hare and Mr.Crow, have pursued Nigel across ol' London Town,
to retrieve 'top secret documents' stolen that very afternoon. Escaping
to the lonely seaside town of Saxton, on England’s east coast,
Nigel hopes to hide from his pursuers, as well as his own guilt. Saxton
is no ordinary harbour town; it seems to echo with past events, legends
and characters. Fascinated,
and inspired, by local tales of lost treasure, Nigel makes it his mission
to locate Anglia’s last Anglo-Saxon Crown, hidden in the ancient
landscape, which surrounds the town. From the misty Fen Land, to the
dark avenues of The Carrion Wood, Nigel will leave no stone unturned
in his quest to find The Lost Crown. |

Lucy
Reubans: “I don’t know what I saw..., that night,
at the museum...but it was strange…unexplainable…” Nigel’s playful, spooky, nature eventually wins Lucy over, and the two set out to solve crimes and mysteries using their very different methods. Nigel believes in ghosts and supernatural activity, whereas Lucy puts her faith in science, explanation and logic. Beneath her outward, jovial, existence Lucy feels damaged by an event in her past. Her adventures with Nigel will bring that secret to the surface, exposing Lucy to know far more than she has let on. |
| "To
give it to you in a nutshell, The Lost Crown may actually go down in history
as the best horror adventure game ever written...REALLY
disturbing...The Lost Crown is as close to perfection as any adventure
game I have played in the last few years."
