Silent Night marks a large step up for the technology we use to make The Crown Games, so please be kind and patient, we may have to update to help accommodate the wide and diverse technology range of gamers machines.

A demo of Silent Night is available via Steam. It’s the first part of the story, with the complete story taking in the Solstice through to Easter; it’s a game about Winter, and the effect it has on people, places and the landscape.

The game functions in a new, more kinetic way, via the Keyboard and Mouse (if you’re a FPS gamer), via the Xbox controller for Windows, and also the Steam Controller. There are no sequences that require speed, balancing, dexterity of combat skills. It is an adventure game. Move Nigel around the game world, and action cursors appear to suggest interactions. All puzzles, investigations and interactions happen in First Person, just like TLC1.

In fact, many of quirks and fun of The Lost Crown have been recreated in the new engine. So, apart from having to move Nigel from A to B (he runs too!!! if you want) the set up is the same as old. I’m not looking to reinvent the wheel with this game, just move onto a new tech engine.
