Story

141 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The Lost Crown is an entertaining adventure game with a fantastic setting and an interesting story.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The excellent sound design greatly contributes to the spookiness with rattling tiles, creaking staircase, howling, whispers, footsteps - which have a slightly off-kilter sound so you're not quite sure if they're yours or from someone behind you.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
46 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art design and graphics of the game are great as well for a 2-D point-and-click, mixing photography and pixel animation surprisingly well, to the point where you almost forget the characters are not "in" the background.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The game feels very much like Gabriel Knight exploring the town of Rennes-le-Château.
