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

Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft
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.
Warning: side effects may include insomnia, delirium and acute cosmic horror.

Nice visual novel
I really enjoyed the experience, the narrator is good and art style perfect (especially the sea creatures). The atmosphere is sufficiently eerie and disturbing. I did not find even half of the collectables, so I will go back. I found them quite interesting.

cool visual novel
A nice visual novel, this one is based on the short story "Dagon" by HP Lovecraft. I have never read his works, but this was interesting, and I guess that this is my introduction into that universe. The prose and writing style took a little bit for me to get used to and I had to re-read some of the lines. Lovecraft seems to have had a very descriptive and verbose writing style that was a little dense at times for me but it was also really atmospheric and imaginative. As a video game, this is very barebones and just consists on you clicking on either an icon to advance the story, or special hidden icons that will give you more tidbits of information on Lovecraft and his era. The 3D environments look pretty good, and I'm glad that they are rendered graphics rather than a flat artwork and text screen. This is free and should take you less than an hour to complete, maybe more than that if you are looking for all of the hidden bits of information.

I Love it!
It was amazing! It reminded me of Dear Esther which I enjoyed also. Love this type of story telling.
