"The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure" Goes Gold

Ghostly things come to those who wait as anticipated suspense-adventure game for the PC is finally ready for its North American retail debut next month.

Weston, CT -- Channeling the tingling excitement of sighting an approaching apparition after a long night's ghost-hunt, Got Game Entertainment today announced that "The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure" has gone gold. Now set to haunt North American retail shelves this March, "The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure" finds ghost-hunters Nigel Danvers and Lucy Reubans in search of hidden treasures, and answers to an ancient mystery, along England's fog-shrouded coastline. Created by Jonathan Boakes and his Darkling Room team, this hair-raising suspense-adventure game for the PC will make its retail debut at $29.99 (USD).

"We know it's been a long wait for adventure fans, but care and precision are hallmarks of all Jonathan Boakes projects, and that often time-consuming attention to detail will certainly be seen in 'The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure'," said Got Game Entertainment President Howard Horowitz.

Bringing a frightening ghost story to spine-tingling life, "The Lost Crown: A Ghost-hunting Adventure" features actual E.V.P. (Electronic Voice Phenomena), photographs of unexplained entities captured by creator Jonathan Boakes while researching the game, and a bone-chilling original soundtrack. In a cinematic, richly detailed world filled with taunting town "locals" and mind-bending puzzles, players will be armed with the tools of the modern-day ghost-hunter to investigate local legends and discover long-lost secrets, previously known only to the dead.
