audiobook version of “Dagon” (narrator only)
audiobook version of “Dagon” (including additional sounds from the game)

A very simple point-to-navigate game, reminiscent of games like The 11th Hour.
Perfectly executed. Only complaint being it's length, but far be it from me to complain about a short story being short. 5/5. Spooked the living hell out of me. The voice of the narrator shook my house.
Hace tiempo que no leo cuentos de Lovecraft, lo hice en mi juventud y solía perderme en ellos, este juego ha logrado lo mismo. No hay que fijarse en su corta duración, vale la pena adentrarse en él.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
I haven't read Lovecraft stories for a long time, I did it in my youth and I used to get lost in them, this game has achieved the same. Do not look at its short duration, it is worth delving into it.
The story is narrated by "Warm Voice". They speak clearly, in a deep voice and do convey emotion in the reading. They are not monotone, and do not sound like a computer. They only Narrate Dagon, not Fishhead. The sound effects are mostly walking, rain, and some background music/wind. The background audio does get silent at moments. The foot steps are usually between sentences not over the narrator. Unfortunately, the roar of the creature and the roll of thunder do seem to drown out the narrator for a moment each, but each for only part of a sentence. Overall I think the sound effects do add somewhat to the narrator who is good on their own, I just wish those two points had been mixed properly to still leave the narrator hearable. Luckily with the clean audio included, I may fix my only complaint with audacity.
Fishhead is only available in English, and is 11 pages as a pdf, where as Dagon was 14. Neither of these are long stories, even though Dagon(the story, not game) was made to a full length movie. This is not a complaint, only an observation. If you need Fishhead in another language besides English, or were looking for several days worth of reading, you won't find it here.
It would have been nice if Fishhead had been narrated even without sound effects. This isn't the source of the lost star, that is solely for the narrator being over powered by the sound effects at two points, making me look up wat was said.
Wallpapers consist of various high resolutions of the games logo with or without the title offset, in either green or blue variations.
Over all this is about what I would have expected. I just wish the Narrator's voice could be heard over all the sound effects, and that Fishhead had been narrated. It would also have been nice if the Ebooks listed the original publishing date of the stories, as the Narrator does. Considering that they released the Game free, I'd say the price was reasonable.
The "game" is actually very well done, with atmosphere and narration believable and engaging. Recommended for lovecraftian and psychological horror lovers.
