292: Crown, Crown, Get a Crown, I Get a Crown! (THE LOST CROWN, day 9)
The crown is with Nigel Danvers's grasp, despite the best efforts of the malevolent Agers. First, he has to spin some photographs. Quite a few times. Enough times that streamer needsa hint. Then Nigel decends somewhere that the Knockers warn of danger, and where he'll certainly have a blast. The Anglo-Saxons had some impressive technology, I must say. Nigel must remember the order in which he travelled, set the gears of fate in motion, and seize the crown at last!
Ganwulf won't like that, and he's not the only one. Nigel finds things changed after discovering the lost prise, as he probably should have guessed. There's more death in store, and it's dubious whether Nigel can, or will, make everything right. The peelers have their eye on him. Will Hadden be satisfied with Nigel's research? How many in this time-warped town are ghosts, of one definition or another?
The ending answers some questions, like the identity of the Saxton skeleton and the cat-killing stalker who followed Nigel and Lucy (DID that guy get all of the pictures? I'm not certain). However, there's a lot I still don't understand, and I wonder how much everything will make sense, under closer analysis, and how much is intentinonally left unanswered and mysterious. It all left chat a bit confused as well. Nonetheless, the game has been a wonderful experience, and the developer is a great writer. What a strange town, with so much going on! What's next for Nigel (and hopefully Lucy)?
I may rant about pine resin, and I may offer more unorthodox fan theories about George the Suspicious Husky (whom chat soon dubs "The Sussky"). The Photogenic Toad emergest victorious. And we learn a bit about gambling in Georgia, an unexpected bonus.
