Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft

Immersion in a story is so very important. The use of the imagination in scenes in books can only rarely be matched by movies. Dagon is something quite different than a movie or a book. It puts you in the story in such a way that is as good and sometimes better than what the imagination can offer, so that you're left with the impression that you've experience something quite special. I feel fortunate that I have a computer and ran across Dagon. This changes things and I will be looking forward to the additions (DLC) to Dagon and other stories presented in this manner in the future. Great project!

As a big fan of the works of Lovecraft, I found Dagon to be a fantastic, immersive and faithful interactive retelling of the short story. The voice acting was excellent and the audio ambiance framed the narration very well. In terms of gameplay, there isn't much. And Dagon did not set out to be more than being, as written before, an interactive story which takes about an hour to finish. You click to proceed through the events - there are no puzzles, no action scenes, no decisions. However there are tidbits of trivia hidden in many of the scenes, which sometimes take a keen eye to uncover. And for fans of Lovecrafts work, these are really, really cool. All in all, I thoroughly recommend Dagon for fans and those who might want to become one themselves. For the asking price of FREE, you can't do anything wrong here.

For a short 30-minute story it was great! Graphics and audio created an immersive experience for a first-time Lovecraft reader. The trivia was an added bonus to get to know more about the author. Only problem was that the view rotation got clunky at times and it would be difficult to click on small hotspots. As it is, the 3D world felt more for immersion than actual gameplay.

To get things clear – this is not a typical game. It's some kind of 3D game and audiobook hybrid, which is basically a word by word H. P. Lovecraft's "Dagon". You won't get too much gameplay out of it, as you can only look around and click triggers to push the story forward. I think that audio is very good but I can't say anything about graphics because I was playing on my retro laptop. If you like writing of HPL and/or you like horror stories, make sure to check out this game. If you're neither, still check it out as it is totally free

It is a short story where half of the time you have to read but every single second is worth. The only downside can be your PC. Graphics are pretty but it can be intense. I would definitely buy the next DLCs and probably also some books.
