In America in the fall we only get a few weeks of spooky bliss before the full frontal assault of cheery garland and obligated capitalism begins. If you’re a Halloween fan, you get it while you can in a super concentrated dose of candy corn, slasher films and sundry odes to the Addams Family.
Keeping with this theme developer Darkling Room, who previously released The Lost Crown, is teasing a new project. The Last Crown: Blackenrock is actually the first of three sequels that are currently in development and revolve around the ghost-hunting adventures along the Cornish coast.
“Nigel Danvers is haunted. Ever since Halloween, after that brief but disturbing experiment with the 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 must delve deep into Saxton's murky past, to learn secrets long since buried by those that fear 'The Return'. Armed with upgraded ghost gadgets, they must seek answers from the dead and uncover a century old murder mystery. 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.”
