An English Haunting

About

An English Haunting is a point-and-click adventure where you follow Professor Patrick Moore as he teams up with a charlatan psychic to build a machine that peeks into the afterlife. The story unfolds in a crumbling 1907 English manor, where you’ll sift through clues, solve mechanical puzzles, and piece together a centuries-old mystery tied to a mysterious relic. The gameplay leans heavily on inventory-based interactions and environmental storytelling, with each room hinting at the estate’s dark past through faded letters, odd trinkets, and cryptic symbols. The game shines in its eerie atmosphere and layered narrative. Postmodern Adventures crafts a setting where the creak of floorboards and flicker of candlelight feel deliberate, pulling you into the professor’s obsession. While the puzzle design isn’t impressive, the historical details and slow-burn tension keep things engaging. With a runtime of around eight to ten hours, it’s a brisk but cohesive tale for fans of spooky, story-focused adventures. Available on PC and Switch, it plays well in short sessions, letting you dip in and out of its gothic mystery.
