The Halloween Haunting
From Jonathan Boakes:
With Halloween rapidly approaching, it has become obvious to both myself and Iceberg Interactive that we need more time to successfully promote The Last Crown, something which cannot be rushed. I’m also still hoping to record a couple of characters this autumn, who have so far eluded me. For example, Saxton Museum would not be the same without Mr.Oogle! Would it.
So, instead, I am more than excited to reveal a dedicated and new ‘Crown’ story specifically for Halloween 2013.
We enter the story on Halloween, inside The Bear Inn on Saxton Harbour. Night has fallen, the pumpkin jack-o-lanterns have been lit, Morgan has turned off the music and lit a roaring fire. Nigel is about to tell a creepy ghost story to those huddled in the bar. Those present, including ourselves, wait patiently as he begins the story
The game will be available as a DRM free download directly from me, and selected publishing partners, for $5. All sales will help get Last Crown properly finished and also fund The First Crown, the end of the Crown Trilogy.

Though I’m sad The Last Crown will be pushed back again, I trust Mr. Boakes to make an incredible game when it finally does come out. In the mean time, I will definitely be playing The Halloween Haunting; I love short stories set within story-driven game universes. Cheers Jonathan!

Halloween is here. Pray tell, where is the Haunting? Or is this filler game which is there to ameliorate the disappointment of yet another missed deadline going to, irony of ironies, miss its own deadline. Never mind perhaps we can satiate ourselves with the thought of The First Halloween Haunting, or perhaps The Christmas Haunting which is to be released as a filler whilst we wait for the other filler - or better still, Ghost Watching the Dark Fall Crowns on Bracken Tor (thumbs drumming impatiently on table as slight imprint begins to form).
I feel your pain.

Is Halloween the same day in UK as it is in the USA?
In Denmark where I live, Allehelgensaften (Halloween) is not until this Saturday.

Weird! Halloween (All Hallow’s Eve) is always 31st October. It can’t be anything else as it precedes (obviously) All Hallow’s Day, otherwise known as All Saint’s Day, which is on the 1st of November.
Perhaps the Church in Denmark has a different date for All Saint’s Day.
Life is what it is.
Yep, All Saint’s Day is the first Sunday in November, so Halloween is always a Saturday.

It’s not the full game of a Halloween Haunting. It’s an interactive teaser for the game. Jonathan had stated today that the full game should be ready this weekend
That means “in a couple of weeks”, right?

Maybe this time I can be strong, but since I know who I am, I’m probably wrong. Maybe this time I can go far, but thinking about where I’ve been ain’t helping me start. - Michael Kiwanuka
Fortunately he makes good adventure games, cause time management doesn’t seem to be his strongest point…..
So I just downloaded an interactive teaser of a mini game given to us as a sop, thinking it was a mini game given to us as a sop?
Fine, I’m going to play Lilly Looking Through instead.

I can’t even download the teaser! There was a pumpkin icon on the screen this morning, but now it’s reverted to its ‘buy soon’ form (teeth gnashing in background).
The Link to the demo is now at the fooicial store page:

Klick on the pumpkin and enjoy!

Yeah, imagine my disappointment this morning on opening my gift…
