The Lost Crown has absolutely set itself up to be interactive fiction in its pacing and plotting, the extensiveness of the dialogue, but most of all by what I shall call the 'brave’ decision to go all Shindlers List with the graphics. The poorly animated characters and the attentively but ineptly photographed backdrops are all entirely black and white, with only one or two points of colour – a flower bobbing in the breeze, a pile or rope, or whatever else the art department felt advanced its fairly opaque agenda.
