Short and incomplete, but interesting

The game consists of four 'episodes' which should take you about 30 minutes to complete and if I remember correctly every episode uses a 'scary walk through a haunted house' sequence. That combined with the very simple puzzles means that there really isn't all that much gameplay, all the gameplay basically boils down to going back to a room you've been to to use an item you got in a new room in order to open the door to yet another new room. Graphically.. well you've seen the screenshots, it's not great. It's barely functional. There are good looking games with 'pixel art', this is not one of them IMO. The music in the game is decent and sets the mood for the 'Lovecraftian' story. A few points that might be interesting: I don't think you can die in the game, the story is not complete and the developer is working on the next expisodes, there is very little interactivity except for those things in the world you have to manipulate in order to advance the story and there is no manual saving. I also had a few Adobe Air crashes in the third episode, but since the game automatically saves your position in the episode this is not a huge deal. Although you will have to watch the unskippable logo movies again.

good story but too experimental

It's a pretty good game that indeed reminds you of those classic Lovecraft stories. However, it's simply a bit too much retro...They simply overdo it. It may be an interesting idea to use such extreme pixel graphics but it ruins much of the otherwise creepy and gloomy atmosphere. The story is excellent and original, however.

Short but really really good!

Very interesting story with a horror-esque theme, gave some Lovecraftian vibes. The point and click is quite easy to figure out, and the game looks really good even though it's low-pixel so to speak. The game is quite short (four episodes which takes about 2-3 hours to complete all together) but still holds up.

We need more stories like this

Honestly, I've never was a point&click games fan, but since I started to play this I had the need to continue the story as much as the protagonist himself, and that feel was an incredible experience. And constantly atmosphere of being around the horror but can't really see it is amazing. Of course I recommend this game, maybe a little bit short for me (due to my "voracity" to play it), but totally worth it.

Great atmosphere, simple puzzles

I was sceptical about the lo-fi graphics, but in the end they weren't much of an issue. The great soundtrack helps a lot in building a menacing atmosphere without needing much visual detail. An interesting side-effect of the lo-fi graphics is that the game can be comfortably played with a controller from a distance, without having to squint your eyes. I did enjoy that. My biggest gripes with the game were that: (a) The puzzles are simple. If you are not a newcomer to the genre and you pay a minimum attention to the text, you should have zero issues finishing the game, (b) The game ends rather abruptly and provides no closure. You need to purchase Season 2 to see the end of the story.
