Description
Whether the dreams brought on the fever or the fever brought on the dreams Walter Gilman
did not know. - H.P. Lovecraft, The Dreams in the Witch House




Arkham, Massachusetts 1929. Walter Gilman, a promising math student, has just moved to the city and is starting his studies at Miskatonic University. The Dombrowski’s boarding house where he resides has a bad reputation, but Walter doesn’t mind the old rumors... Until the dreams start. A hideous scheme is underway, and if Walter is not careful, it could cost him more than his life. It could cost him his soul.


Dreams in the Witch House is a unique mix of classic point and click adventure and open world RPG. The gameplay is nonlinear and many of the elements are generated randomly, making each playthrough different.

You have two months to prepare Walter for the dreaded May-Eve. How you spend the time is completely up to you: concentrate on studies, get friends and stay in good physical and mental state. Or explore the old rumours, read the forbidden books at Miskatonic University, and work on your occult thesis. Or just stay in bed, and hope that it all goes away!

Based on the short story "The Dreams in the Witch House" by H.P. Lovecraft.


  • Open world sandbox meets point and click adventure game
  • RPG elements: money, health, sanity, and many character stats
  • Day / evening / night - cycles and changing weather
  • Several endings depending on player’s actions
  • 10 - 20 hours of playtime
  • Original soundtrack by genre favourite Troy Sterling Nies (The Call of Cthulhu, The Whisperer in the Darkness)
  • Creeping tension: otherwordly threats intensify gradually
  • 320 x 180 pixel graphics
  • Plenty of detailed animation and visual effects

A really outstanding Adventure

...and to be honest: the first ever that i played without the need or even thought about using a walkthrough, a hint-system or anything that spoils the tiniest bit of story or gameplay. It sucks you in and don't let you out until you have finished your business. Or be finished by it. The RPG-Elements fit the Game perfectly. What an immersion! And the second run was even more interesting than the first. Not only because some details in the Game have changed - thanks to some random elements - but because it worked out completely else than the first run. I'm not a great fan of adventure-games, so maybe for genrefans it's more of a an storyteller and not very challenging. But in my opinion it's perfectly balanced, very well shaped and gives a really outstanding vibe! Recommended - no matter what. Even if you are not into that type of game normally, or if you are no great Horror-Fan: it's a pretty unique experience and worth to make it!

New kind of point and click

Surprisingly difficult point and click. Not because of "puzzles" in the traditional sense, but because the whole gameplay loop is a kind of unforgiving puzzle in which you have to manage your many and very limited resources (time, money, energy, body heat, hunger etc) and try to maintain buffers for whatever the game will suddenly throw at you to get you off balance. Many of the core gameplay features are rather tedious and dull, like searching through the library or archives using an old fashioned index system and then search through the library or archive to find the exact book or item you are looking for. At first I didn't enjoy it but somehow it grew on me. Kind of stressful and difficult game and I can see why some people will noy enjoy it. It is a bit unforgiving and if you don't act upon an issue before it becomes too big for you to act upon, you'll very quickly end up in a loop where you get less energy which means poorer school results which means worse mental health and less money, which in turn will risk spiraling your trajectory out of control. I recommend it exactly for this reason. Its a tense and i.m.o very immersive game with a good story, great puzzles and setting, high stakes and a loot of room for approaching problems in many different ways. I would definitely give it a try but would recommend approaching the game itself as a kind of higher level puzzle and don't expect "mix this item with this and use it on that"-puzzles, like in traditional point and click-games. A very refreshing approach to the genre.

Liked it very much

Relaxing at first, then more and more stressful and hellish.
