I am playing The Lost Crown, and it is an excellent game.

Keeps you in suspence, I recommend this game to all the people who love mysteries.

It keeps you on the edge, and a very easy game to play.

You will not be sorry you brought this game.

Hugely intriguing and immersive

A masterpiece for those who enjoy pure adventure (shooter lovers need not stop here). Most of the puzzles are quite reasonable, although the subplot has had me pondering for several weeks now. The atmosphere is simply marvelous, made even better by Boake's masterful use of ambient sound. He builds up anticipation until I was frankly terrified at several points in the game. The greyscale mixes with splashes of color set up that atmosphere perfectly.

Stuffed with imagination and an intriguing plot that builds into several layers. For those who enjoy classic, intelligent adventure, you can't do better than this. Those looking for blast and smash won't like it at all.

For people that loved "Scratches" but were left wanting more..

This is probably the best adventure game I've ever played. Prior to this game, I was very impressed with the game Scratches but felt like it ended too soon. This game is amazing in its depth and scope - you really feel like you are getting your money's worth in game play.

As for the scariness factor, I nearly peed myself at a couple of points in the game (and my husband too!); The game designer was really good at manipulating the atmosphere through music, lighting, and imagery to give you the jumps without relying on cheap blood and guts sequences.
** Note:
If you prefer the "Survival Horror" type of game (i.e. Half Life, Silent Hill, etc) rather than "Adventure Horror" (i.e. Scratches, Black Mirror, Barrow Hill), then you will probably hate this game. My guess is, the couple of bad reviews out there are from people that are desensitized due to games where you have to fend off corpses, mutant corpses, or skinned zombie dogs. In the Lost Crown you do not have to fight anything, and for the most part you don't see anything gory (except for one disturbing scene, buts thats it). Also, as with any adventure game, there are puzzles, but they make logical sense and keep the story going; In other words, you don't have to look at the walk-through. If this aspect bores you, you probably don't like most adventure games.
