CT – July 11, 2007 -
Got Game Entertainment LLC today announced a North American
publishing deal for “The Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure”.
Created by adventure gaming legend Jonathan Boakes (“Dark Fall”,
“Dark Fall II: Lights Out”) and his Darkling Room team, “The Lost
Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure” for the PC combines a dense, rich, spine-tingling
story inspired by classic ghost stories with today’s modern
ghosthunting techniques. Featuring an intuitive adventure interface
which allows the player to wield the tools of a paranormal
investigator, an impressive cast of 3D characters, actual E.V.P.
(Electronic Voice Phenomena) recordings, and photographs of
unexplained entities captured by Jonathan Boakes while researching the game, “The Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting
Adventure” brings a frightening story to bone-chilling life. “The
Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure” is scheduled for release
October 2007 and will retail for
$29.99
(USD). The game is not yet rated by the ESRB.
“Experiencing real
paranormal phenomena in my research for ‘The Lost Crown: A
Ghosthunting Adventure’, is both terrifying and uplifting,” said
game creator Jonathan Boakes. “It’s a thrill to soon bring these
very real frights to gamers.”
Inspired by the
haunting works of Charles Dickens, M.R. James, Arthur Conan Doyle,
and E.F. Benson, “The Lost Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure” finds
treasure hunter Nigel Danvers on the run. Travel with Nigel to an
eerie seaside town on England's coast where you will learn to use
the advanced techniques of real paranormal investigators to unravel
an ancient mystery and uncover a hidden treasure. Immersed in a
richly detailed interactive world that is part black and white, part
vivid color, you will be captivated, taunted, and teased by
mind-bending puzzles and interactions with the town locals, earthly
and otherwise. Your skills at ghosthunting, and detecting paranormal
activity, will directly affect how the game continues. With nerves
of steel, and wits to match, you will soon discover long lost
secrets, previously known only to the dead.
“The actual
ghosthunting conducted by Jonathan and Darkling Room for ‘The Lost
Crown: A Ghosthunting Adventure’ has resulted in a team of game
designers with unparalleled experience,” said Got Game Entertainment
President Howard Horowitz. “That experience, combined with the
fantastic look of the game, and Jonathan’s enthralling story, will
make this October bone-chilling indeed.”
