Product Description

Nigel Danvers is on the run - two shadowy agents are on his tail, pursuing him across London to the grand train station at Liverpool Street. Nigel suspects that the afternoon's activities may be to blame! Travel with Nigel Danvers to an eerie seaside town on England's east coast. Learn to use advanced techniques used by real paranormal investigators, and uncover an ancient mystery and treasure. But, beware, not all of the towns residents will help in your mission, whether they are alive or dead. Inspiration from the haunting works of Charles Dickens, M.R. James, Arthur Conan Doyle, and E.F. Benson combines with real ghost-hunting gadgets to bring this frightening story to bone-chilling life. Success or failure in locating wandering spirits depends on your skill as an investigator. Placing motion detectors, night vision cameras, and temperature gauges correctly will reveal a location's haunted past, and expose terrifying apparitions. With nerves of steel, and wits to match, you will soon discover long lost secrets, previously known only to the dead!

Customer Reviews

Scared?
This is an excellent addition to Jonathan Boakes work. Unlike some games you can work out the puzzles with logic- no need to be a lucky guesser or download a walkthrough in pure disgust, only to find you need a pink pig with the left eyebrow missing, to unlock a cattleshed, to get a picture of the hero as a 12 year old, in order to open a safe. Scary - well it scared me in places - but then the best time to play is at night low light and definetely sounds on to get the full effect. I found Darkfall 1 scary - Darkfall II too easy and not as scary, but this is a game for grown ups and not for children - children might miss some of the nastier inferences or find the obvious ones too nasty - all depends on how you feel about cats. As for the ending - I thought this was the best so far - implying that there will be a further game. Can't think why you wouldn't buy this.

The absolute best adventure game I've ever played!!!
If you have not played this one, you must! Jonathan Boakes is a master at his craft. This game is very long and well worth the money. It is very detailed, and easy to manuever in the game, easy to access and use inventory items. I was so into the story line and could not wait to get some answers at the ending. I was slightly disappointed with how it ended. But the enjoyment I received from playing it outweighed that. A must have for any adventure game lovers.

Best addictive ghost hunting game ever!
I got this game in January, and was instantly addicted to it. It is almost like a good book or movie, it draws you into it as if you were there, it is that good.

I played it every night for hours and still it took nearly 3 weeks to complete it. The puzzles in it are not bad at all, everything you need is intuitive and somewhere within reach of the particular scene you are in. If you haven't found everything you needed, Nigel will say, "I am not yet finished here." or something like that. He will not go where he doesn't need to be so you won't be running about wasting your time in the wrong places. Places open up as you progress through the game.

This game has it all I think. You have the ghost hunting equipment like a tape recorder, a hand video camera, and a remote video setup for the haunted house Nigel lives in. There are many scenes to explore, with all the best elements besides the ghosts, caves, swamps, a seance, crystal ball, lonely railway walk in the night, dark walk through a tomb and a graveyard.

I really liked the black and white scenes with a few objects in full color thoughout the scenes. It gave it a 50's style haunted movie sense to it. Some scenes are in near full color, like the visits to the old lady, but in a faded color sort of way.

I highly recommend this game. I plan play it again after the memory of the details fade a bit so it will be like viewing a favorite movie or a good book again. It is so hard to find a good haunted ghost game out there. This is the best I have played since Phantasmagoria I.

Another note about this game, just when you thought it was over, there was still more! Just like a good horror movie, there is more when you thought you were done with it. This game is the type you won't mind playing again.
