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.

Good Illustrated(3d) +Narrated story

Personally, I don't think "game" quite fits, but then I'm not one to play point and click adventure/detective games. Very nice rendering of an HP Lovecraft story. It was not hard to find the informative extras, and they were a welcome addition as I enjoy learning more about the background and context. There were a few times that the voice actor/narrator guy doesn't get the words right, but nothing major.

Nice Lovecraftian game!

Overall a great experience though I would love to move more freely in the story. So beautiful landscapes but I couldn't lose myself in them! Great story of cosmic horror. The only thing that was a little bit alien to me was the art on the monolith that in my opinion needed fewer details on fishes etc. due to they seemed to me a bit modern. I have some ideas for implementation if interested

Neat

This was pretty cool! It was awesome to be able to look around inside a Lovecraft story. If only it allowed for a little bit of on foot exploration I think I could have felt much more immersed. The colour out of space would be amazing.

A potential future medium of stories

As VR and video games comes to an all time high in terms of the new generation of consoles and technology creating ever better graphics, this could be a brilliant tool in bringing stories to life. Imagine Alice in Wonderland in VR? Or other horror short stories come to life before your very eyes. It's all too often to find yourself "not scared" when reading horror, or even watching horror, but there is a certain personalisation when you are behind the driving seat. When you are making the decisions for the character, it takes a personal flavour. I see a future in this medium, it would be interesting to see promotions and instalments of games like these to coincide along horror short stories. I say horror specifically, because horror has the potential to do well in this industry.
