Description
I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more.

Dagon is a 3D narrative experience in madness based on the cult short story of the same title by the master of cosmic horror and weird fiction, H. P. Lovecraft himself. It’s an interactive portal into the world of the controversial genius and his highly acclaimed Cthulhu Mythos, open to both newcomers and long-time devotees.


The change happened whilst I slept.

Step into the shoes of a former ship officer and morphine fiend, and dive into the Stygian Abyss of a drug-addled mind. Uncover the unspeakable, long-drowned horrors on a distant eldritch island and wallow in Lovecraftian dread.


I think I went mad then.

So make yourself comfortable in front of the screen and experience cosmic horror first-hand in this 100% faithful adaptation of the original story. It will only take about 30 minutes, but you may never look at the ocean the same way.

Features:

  • immerse yourself in a fully-voiced narrative experience in real-time 3D
  • discover the origin of the Cthulhu Mythos and the twisted world of H. P. Lovecraft
  • treat yourself to a short, free horror that can be experienced in 30 minutes
  • learn about the original story, its author and their impact on culture etc. while playing
  • buy an optional DLC to support our future projects and get additional goodies (including an audiobook and a screenshot-filled e-book)

Warning: side effects may include insomnia, delirium and acute cosmic horror.

Great Lovecraft Game

This is a great introduction to Lovecraft's writing. It's a super atmospheric game with brilliant narration provided by the voice actor "WarmVoice" (Last Epoch, Dinner With An Owl). When you first load the game, you need to slightly lower the background sounds, so you can properly hear the voice, but once you've done that, everything else works perfectly. The visuals are very rich and really add to the atmosphere. It doesn't take long to experience the whole game, so it's great for when you have an hour to spare. The best part ... It's FREE!

Excelent retelling of a Classic

Atmosphere is great. The graphics, music, and voice acting blend very well to create an enviroment that brings the story to life. Controls are minimal but work well. This is an interactive story, so there is no need for a lot of customization or fine tuning, but they still give it to you. This keeps the controls from distracting you from the experience. Trivia is a good touch. There is a lot of H.P.L. trivia scatered about the game for you to find. This feeds the "interactive" ich for those who might get bored of just looking around and clicking a button. Some of them are easy to find, others diabolicly hidden. All of them give good information on the story and/or the author that help you feel closer to both when you are finished. And it's free. So I don't think you can go wrong with this one. Plus, the DLC gives two new experiences (one DLC is just extras. Good, but nothing playable) and a wider view of H.P.L. in general. 10/10

Try it for the heck of it

The experience is very akin to that of a visual novel, which the game is, with an addition of high end graphics, the visual representation of the original short story from HP Lovecraft is good, but all in all there is nothing special about this game, it's a good 30 minute experience that can serve as a reference for horror writing. So just try it, it's better than wasting time on social media or something else

Dagon

Loved it! Very atmospheric, and the crawling, nameless things were perfect.
