A comedy cosmic horror adventure made in Transylvania.
Darkham, with its crooked gambrel roofs, dark alleys, and a past shrouded in secrecy, never really was a welcoming place, but nowadays? Kooky cults are popping up everywhere, and that most evil book, the Necronomicon, is spoken of in trembling whispers once more.
Detective Don R. Ketype is on the case to retrieve the mysterious evil tome, but unsuspecting librarian Buzz Kerwan stumbles upon it and accidentally transforms his cat, Kitteh, into a walking, talking abomination. Being humanized? Quite a downgrade.

Why buy on GOG.COM?
DRM FREE. No activation or online connection required to play.
This is a real solid old school point & click set in a lighthearted, Cthulhu themed world. Voice acting is also solid all around, graphics are nice and music is good. Really, this game is the very definition of solid.
And it has a cat ....I mean, come on, a cat and cthulhu in the same game, that is pure awesome where I am standing. And did I mention it talks, because it does.
Took me around 7 hours to play through with 100% achievements, so for the price that is fair, especially when on sale.
If you are a point & click fan, this one shouldn't disappoint you.
The art is nice enough but I got bored pretty quickly with the 2 main characters and by chapter 3, I was not at all engaged with the plot, such as it is. The characters are unrelatable and unlikeable and plot is very contrived. Broken Sword, it is not.
I have bought a number of adventure games over the years and recent ones I enjoyed and kept are:
Elroy and the Aliens
Not Another Weekend
Voodoo Detective
The Excavation of Hob's Barrow
Chook & Sosig
Darkside Detective (1&2)
I stupidly left the game running overnight and now GoG refuse to refund so I am stuck with a game that further weighs down my "Hidden" section.
This is an absolute masterpiece. Beautifully drawn game with tremendously fitting soundtrack and clever dialogs. The game is in the best traditions of Lucas Arts adventures (you can't get in the situation where you can't finish the game) which is great.
Can't recommend enough to play it.
