Enter the world of Necronomicon- where quiet scholar William H. Stanton is suddenly thrust into the dark and enigmatic world of the occult.
The year is 1927. Stanton is in the drawing room of his Providence, Rhode Island home when his childhood friend, Edgar, appears at his door.
Edgar, seems distraught and delirious and gives Stanton a metallic pyramid, telling him not to give it to anyone- especially himself.
Still reeling from Edgar’s appearance, Stanton is visited by a doctor who tells him that Edgar has lost his mind and must be institutionalized. William knows there is more to the story and decides to find Edgar, but on his way discovers a horrifying secret that threatens all of mankind.
In this thrilling point-and-click adventure based on the works of H.P Lovecraft, you’ll traverse the haunting world of Gothic New England, solving puzzles and acquiring information to help Stanton solve the mystery of the Necronomicon.
Can you help Stanton save humanity as we know it?

Strange and Interesting
This game has good atmosphere, giving an unsettling and slightly creepy vibe as you explore around the town at looking for clues. The graphics and music really fit the mood, and the Lovcraft inspiration is well done.

Mouse Looking is Broken
There's probably a janky-but-still-enjoyable game here ... but I guess I'll never find out because the mouse looking is completely broken. You'll be trying to position your cursor over, say, a door, but then the slightest mouse movement will launch itself like 45-degrees or more in the direction you're moving ... and then when you try to readjust yourself, it'll shoot back another 45-degrees. But then, it seems like in certain areas trying to look around is rediculously sluggish (and the sudden launching of where you're trying to look doesn't happen) it's like mouse sensitivity is turned off and looking around is a sluggish chore. I went to look for a mouse sensitivity option, but lo and behold, the game doesn't have an options menu. I can handle the dated graphics, the mediocre voice acting, and the really janky animations - Hell, that's part of the charm with games like this! But when you can't even control looking around, to the point where I'm getting mild motion sickness, that's where I draw the line.
