“An English Haunting is a memorable experience, revealing an intricate, gripping story, elaborate and varied locations, plus stimulating puzzles that are not mind-bogglingly difficult.”
4.5/5 – Adventure Gamers

“Postmodern Adventures, after Billy Masters Was Right, Urban Witch Story and Nightmare Frames, has definitively established itself as an essential name in the modern history of the genre.”

About This Game

A madness for spiritualism has gripped London in 1907. 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. Among them, Professor Patrick Moore stands at the forefront, and he is now at a crossroads ‒ he's got 72 hours to prove the existence of the Great Beyond or else his Metapsychic Investigations Department will 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 34 Benwell Street, known as the most haunted manor of England.

Point & click adventure gameplay based on inventory puzzles.

More than 60 detailed pixel art backgrounds to explore.

A cast of more than 70 characters to interact with, including real figures from the period, such as the medium Florence Cook, physicist William Crookes, illusionist Harry Houdini, and even writer Arthur Conan Doyle, whom you will control to solve one of the game's mysteries.

Take a breather from history by reading horror stories at Falk's Horror Books, perusing an archive of supernatural cases, or going to the theater to watch the last film sensation by Georges Méliès: Évocation Spirite.

Inspired by the works of the greatest horror authors from the beginning of the 20th century, M.R. James, Algernon Blackwood, and Arthur Machen.

From the creator of award-winning Nightmare Frames and Urban Witch Story.
