Interactive visual novel

This short interactive novel is a great attempt to capture the atmosphere of Lovecraft's Dagon. And I think it managed it just fine. Don't expect a point&click adventure game. You don't collect items, you don't solve puzzles, you don't actively participate in story. You click to progress the plot and the game will sometimes give you an interesting piece of trivia. That's all. What you get is Lovecraft's short story in motion. It will cost you nothing in terms of money and very little in terms of time. If you dare to stare into depths of the unfathomable abyss, give it a try.

Enjoyable

An enjoyable, well animated and well narrated quick delve into the wonders of H.P. Lovecraft. Plus it is free. No reason not to give it a go. Would love to see more of this.

Graphic Novel, simple point & click

Well done, I really enjoyed it, it intrieged me enough to consider the DLCs yet the price point seem high considering the value. The naration is good, the graphics are good, the little factual bits are informative. I learned more about the area H.P. Lovecraft lived in. However, the game has no replay value and I feel like that's a requirement for a 5 star review. It was very immersive and I would call the indivdual portraits as animated, with a 1 click option to the next scene. Nothing to even scratch a gaming need. I liked it but it doesn't qualify as a "game", my word processor's more interactive. I feel generous with my 4 stars because I actually enjoyed myself for 20 minutes but I could easily see others users give it less. Some other reviews call it a pixel-hunting game, they are right, it's the easier pixel hunt I've ever played. It was a pleasant experience but even other pixel hunting games I've played are more interactive.

great reading/interpretation

This was a great reading/interpretation of a Lovecraftian short story. I really enjoyed this graphic interpretation of Dagon. The reader of the tale had a wonderful and appropriate voice for the content. It was easy to imagine oneself in the role of the protagonist and to feel the horror Lovecraft wanted to invoke. The minimalist backgrounds and the restricted movement seemed to immerse the player into the events since it was impossible to wander too far from the next phrase. Highly recommended.
