Old-school point-and-click adventure gamers can rejoice, as Postmodern Adventures’ throwback tribute to the genre with An English Haunting is out now on Steam and itch.io. In fact, you can grab it with a time-limited 10% discount until June 5. And for those on the fence, there’s also a demo available on Steam.
From the creator of the award-winning Nightmare Frames and Urban Witch Story, and inspired by the works of horror authors M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and Arthur Machen, An English Haunting takes place in 1907 London, where spiritualism has gripped the populace. Séances and theatrical shows where spirits make contact with their living families are all the rage, and there are a legion of investigators trying to discover the secrets of the supernatural. Professor Patrick Moore is one such investigator, who unfortunately has a bit of a problem: he’s got 72 hours to prove the existence of the Great Beyond, or else his Metapsychic Investigations Department will be shut down forever.
Racing against the clock, with the help of a fake medium named Beatrice Shaw, he must complete a prototype of the Box of Revelations, an artefact devised by his missing mentor that enables seeing dimensions hidden in our reality. Building this device will take him from the foggy streets of London to the steep shores of Scotland, and finally to 31 Benwell Street, known as the most haunted manor of England.
