Quote: "If you're into ghosts, you'll love digging into this haunted adventure mystery ... the presentation is one of a kind..."

Review Quote: “it's pretty awesome... Dark shadows, spectral figures, near constant mist, and chilling sounds are bound to give most folks an uneasy feeling about playing the game at night in a dimly lit room..."

Quote: "I have been hooked on everything about it, sometimes even playing it until six in the morning. I just couldn't put it down. Not only has it created a new love for Point and Click adventures it has re-invoked my love for ghost stories". Player Feedback.

Quote: "I am a big Gabriel Knight fan, and when I read a review that compared your GHOST HUNTING adventure to be of the same caliber of the Shattenjager...I was skeptical. I was also wrong. The game is fantastic, and I had to stop myself from consulting a walkthrough because I was so impatient to move the story forward". Player Feedback.

Quote: "It really is the best thing you have done – I loved Dark Fall and Lights Out but Lost Crown takes the experience to a new level – more like being in a book/film than playing a game. I confess to being an MR James fan and to having an interest in ghost hunting so a Boakes game built around this seemed an answer to a prayer". Player Feedback.
