I haven't finished it yet, but I'm going to list that as a selling point. For a game that seemingly no one knew was even being made, it's confusingly well-crafted and substantial! I mean it. The graphics are extremely polished. Animations are high quality and often pretty substantial. I'm a little curious why it's only estimated at being two hours long. Perhaps if you know exactly what you're doing in advance. Personally, I'm at more than three hours and I doubt I'm halfway done yet. For $5, I'd say this is a no-brainer. The only negative thing I have to say is that the heavy atmosphere that made the first game so memorable is often absent here, but as an intentional plot point. You're literally at a Halloween party, so the game is a LOT more active and... goofy. Not at all what I'd say has previously defined the series, which may be a bit off-putting. Still though, all the old elements are present, and a real ghost story is coming to the front for me now. Just in time for...

I just finished playing this engaging game. VERY cool and fun to see all the old "gang" again. Love the black and white with splashes of colour. I was sorry when it was over! I only had one issue with the dancing but everything else ran smoothly . Totally recommended! (I may have to play it again...) Cannot WAIT for Blackenrock.
A good, yet short teaser for Jonathan's next game The Last Crown: Blackenrock, many of us have waited a very long time to be able to play Blackenrock since The Lost Crown came out. This is a perfect Halloween story with lots of references to the first game. It is very easy to get stuck and i found some items that seemed to have no point other than just being there. You will have to go back and forth a lot to check if you did the correct thing. On the DJ Voucher scene, the game can bug out. Simply press F5 and hit No, it should bring your mouse pointer back up and you can leave the scene. Enjoy and Happy Halloween! If you liked The Lost Crown, you will enjoy this short tale.
One minute into the game and my wife jumped out of her seat when she saw the trick or treaters pop up. Best $4.49 I've ever spent. Thanks Darkling Room!
A fantastic game, graphically rich and brilliantly put together for Halloween. This game was very easy to purchase (and at a great price) and easy to download and install. The game has a great atmosphere, even the first scene makes you jump! A great purchase, highly recommended to adventure enthusiasts and ghost hunters alike.
The Last Crown: Midnight Horror is a nice short thematic point and click adventure game that is a direct sequel to "The Lost Crown" and a prequel to the upcoming Blackenrock game from Darkling Room Studios. Like most of Mr. Boakes' games, there is a lot of optional activity and superfluous items you don't need. I carried arround that Hot Dog from beginning to end for example. The adventure places you once again int he role of Nigel Danvers as you try to solve what appears to be a haunting at the local pub. The game oozes with atmosphere and style and I love that the came has kept the mostly black and white graphics which made the original game, The Lost Crown, so striking. The music, mood, visuals and atmophere should keep fans of TLC and the Darkfall games happy from beginning to end. You'll also find that events are somewhat more randomized than in most adventure games which tend to be extremely linear. An event with the police didn't occur with me until the very end of the game, wh...
Jonathan Boakes makes me happy. What a fun surprise. I can barely wait until Blackenrock is released!
I am a big fan of the last three games by this team. I cannot honestly give a good review for this game. For starters it is tiny, it should really be considered as a small DLC or fun add on for the lost crown, it retains none of its eerieness or great story, its quite cheesy and light hearted which is fine and not why I am giving a negative review. I am giving a negative review as I got very stuck very near the end of the game, I resorted in using a walkthru and had done everything that walk thru said, I then went to a different walkthru and I had missed an unbelievably trivial single step that was stopping a vital character from moving to an area they should be at ..... I went on the forums before I saw this and have to agree with a lot of what I read, a lot of people do not like being stuck for ages due to missing a totally unrelated "task" or conversation line that stopped the game from progressing. The other games never felt like you did silly things that didnt make sense to mak...
Fans of Nigel, Lucy and Saxton in general will feel a warm familiarity with the place, whilst newcomers will get a nice introduction to the characters and history to this haunted town. Blackenrock is just around the corner too!
Great little Halloween 🎃 mystery. Highly recommend! Not to be missed if you adore the Dark Fall Lost Crown series. My only issue is that the Steam Overlay does not work with this game. Hoping this gets fixed. The Last Crown Midnight Horror is a solid addition to this amazing series.
