    If you are a fan of The Lost Crown you will recognize the ghost hunting gadgets. Those gadgets have been updated to 2020 technology and there are new ones as well; you have an iPad!

    Note that you needn’t have played The Lost Crown, but there are old friends and Easter Eggs in Ghost Vigil for those that have.

    This is a complex story about what used to be a children’s home. That in itself tells you it will be spooky. The atmosphere is perfect: the mansion has seen dark days and you will discover all that transpired there

    You begin your expedition in the attic of an abandoned mansion. The game explodes, and you are no longer just in the attic but have access to a large mansion. What you see depends on the era.

    Puzzles:
    Get your notepad out! Literally, “pencil and paper children!” as the Matron would say.

    There are many puzzles to work through. You have what you need to solve them. Some puzzles are quite tricky so pay attention.

    The sounds are perfect. Footprints sound like footprints; wind sounds like wind.

    There is a manual save system in addition to an auto-save; there are nine save slots that can be overwritten.

    The tablet provides you with a good description of the ghost hunting tools you will use.

    You can replay some scenes in the game, you will want to because they were such fun.

    Your inner child will have a great time at the interactive playground. Look around for something special there.

    There are no jump scares by the way; this game is atmosphere and story

    This game introduces new voices that are really enjoyable! Favorites were “The Matron” and “Jen”.

    Estimated playtime for the game without a walk-through is 15-20 hours.
