'The Last Crown: Blackenrock' - New Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on March 14, 2016 @ 9:17 p.m. PDT

Join ghost-hunters Nigel Danvers and Lucy Reubans on a spine chilling ghost-hunting adventure, packed with real paranormal activity, to unravel tales of murder and mystery.

Nigel Danvers is haunted. Ever since a brief but disturbing experiment with a Spiritboard, he has felt someone, or something, calling to him. What is the significance of the word 'Blackenrock'? Is it a name, an item, an event, a place?

Joining Nigel on his mysterious mission is fellow ghost-hunter Lucy Reubans. Together, they delve deep into Saxton's murky past, investigating supernatural tales of horror and haunting, to discover secrets long since buried. Armed with upgraded ghost hunting gadgets, Nigel and Lucy seek answers from the dead to uncover clues to a century old murder mystery. You will be captivated, taunted and teased by mind-bending puzzles and interactions with the town 'locals', in a richly detailed interactive world of ghostly tales, wind-swept coastlines, abandoned buildings and crumbling churchyards.

All the clues regarding Blackenrock lead out to sea, through the dense fog, away from the safety of Saxton. A trip into the unknown! The scattered rocky remnants of old Ulcombe make for treacherous waters, as the claw-like rocks seem to stand guard, preventing all but the most brave from discovering what hides beyond.

Be warned, seeking answers from the dead can have bitter consequences.


Lead developer Jonathan Boakes says: “If the first game was a dense mystery, the new one is more like a TV thriller or supernatural drama series. Quite a few of the existing characters appear, like Nanny Noah, Bob Tawny, Lucy Reubans...” He continues: “But, there are also new faces, characters you have yet to meet. It's a long story, Blackenrock, with all the characters having individual backstories, motivations and development. In many ways, it's more like a paranormal Soap Opera, with all the dramatic twists I could muster.
