About The Last Crown: Midnight Horror
Halloween: the veil between our world and the 'otherside' is at its weakest. Witches celebrate Samhain, a Celtic festival from the old religion, conjuring the dead and communing with the spirits. Nigel Danvers, ghost-hunter, knows all about the ghosts that dwell in the darkness, he has seen plenty to convince him there are dark forces at work. So, why is Halloween so different? Dusting down his old ghost-hunting gadgets, Nigel gets to work. Something is haunting the guest rooms above the local harbour side pub, The Bear. Who or what hides in the shadowy corners of the old Inn? What is the presence at the end of the Harbour Wall? Nigel has one night to find out, before the veil returns to full strength, and the Halloween Horror is gone, for another year.

Players are divided on this short Halloween special spinoff. Fans of the original game appreciate the familiar characters, cozy atmosphere, and spooky investigative gameplay, though some find the brief length underwhelming. The main criticisms center on poor guidance during gameplay (leaving players confused about objectives), text readability issues that strain the eyes, and unclear progression mechanics that feel more accidental than intentional.
I thought about it and went back n forth on a rating. For a minute I was going to say I wish there were a neutral choice, but not really. This game is just a real clunker. Too bad because the graphics are kind of cool, there are many very cozy rooms and characters; although most of them are NPCs you can't communicate with. There are a couple of cozy things like games and ghost equipment. The problem is you almost NEVER know what to do next! Most games give you at least some idea, but not this one. Most of the "progress" comes by accident. I don't mind exploration, but this is ridiculous. On top of that, when you do finally accomplish something, you only find yourself wandering around in circles not knowing what the hell to do next. The rest is just a mess. And object exploration is nearly non-existent, meaning, how many times are you going to hear him say - that's a bad idea. It's like being scolded for exploring, which is the very thing the game forces you to do! It also really needs a hotspot indicator since objects and locations are very easy to miss. At this point I'm not sure I can even finish it. Games are supposed to be fun and this one could be but just isn't. It had the po…6 found this helpful
I enjoyed this one. It’s extremely short, but it still delivers the same spooky atmosphere that made me like *The Lost Crown* in the first place, and it definitely scratched my investigative itch. I also really liked spending more time with Nigel, Lucy, and the other characters from the first game. That familiarity gave this micro-adventure a nice sense of continuity and made the short runtime feel worthwhile. My main complaint is readability. I really hope the developer makes the text in the books more legible in the next game. Having to put on reading glasses and then lean as close as possible to the monitor just to read things is irritating, uncomfortable, and takes me out of the experience. It hurts immersion more than it should. There aren’t any achievements here, but for a small side adventure, I still recommend it. If you liked *The Lost Crown* and want a brief return to that world, this is worth playing.

This is a nice "halloween special" set right after the events of the first game, but it's pretty short and there's not really much to it. So if you're a fan of the original game, and you're looking for something fun for halloween I would recommend getting it. But If you didn't played the first game or you're not much into it then you can skip it.
This is soooo coool! It's like i'm treveled in time machine! Played the new game with old graphics and same characters from first game part "The Lost Crown" - this is truly notlagic & genius!!!!!
