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.

A Short and Faithful Lovecraftian Story

The game is inspired by one of the first tales by H.P. Lovecraft: Dagon. Before starting the game, I reached for my old copy of his works to re-read Dagon and embark into the game with a fresh memory of the tale. The game is exactly the 3D version of the world created there, and it takes the same time as one would take to read it. It's an interactive novel which you play only with the mouse, clicking your way through the scenes. There is a focus mechanic that enables you to reach for clues about the author himself, and discover a little more about his personal life. The story is fully narrated accompanied with good sound effects. Totally recommed for any Lovecraft fan here.

Great Story Game with Search-and-Find

Kept true to what I remember of Dagon years ago, and the Trivia finding was fun, although I struggled on the last ~4 of them and had to go through the game very slow to locate. Overall very fun, great graphics and a good Lovecraft experience!

Short and Sweet game/demo!

The VA was perfect, the plot was neat to include real life details and story-motivated details. Scenary was fun, creepy, typical of Lovecraft horror! I quite enjoyed this little playthrough, and would definitly play it again to find anything I missed the first time!

Interactive short story

Very true to the feel of a Lovecraft story in terms of atmospher and pacing. I especially loved the trivia. This isn't jump-scary, so if that's what you're into I'd turn away. But if you are a fan of Lovecraft, this is for you.

Decent mini horror experience

Dagaon is essentially a interactive video game adaptation of HP Lovecraft's story and it does a good job of capturing the atmosphere of the story.
