ouch - pass
I thought this might be fun, but the puzzles are impossible without a walkthrough...and some are even difficult WITH a walkthrough. The graphics are pretty good for the era. The voiceovers are alright. The story is just ok, and to me, is lacking a fair bit.. Having played dark corners and then going back to this I guess I had too high of hopes.

Climatic, Hard and Fhtagn
I'm not usually play a point'n click adventures, but now I decided as it's based on Lovecraft. This game is very climatic and gives you 1001 possibilities to die (by cultists, The Old Ones or simple traps). If you are not familiar with this kind of game I recommend a reading partially walkthrough when you stuck (and believe me - it's VERY easy). Despite the game has a great scenario and atmosphere it has a very diffucult controls and sometimes the usage of character skills is not triggering correctly (sometimes I couldn't look on the certain item/object because character stayed the one pixel from the border). I think that this game need to be remastered when the horrible controls will be fixed and music and graphic would be improved - then I could easily give a 5/5.

Shows signs of it's age
The game is rough in it's controls. Some aspects are fine, like how you automatically use equipped items on the right parts. However most interactable spots are not highlighted well. The game gets confusing towards the end. Vital inforamtion on the puzzles don't get written down in your journal. That's bad. You are confronted with the solutions only once and at first they only confuse you. There is no way to remember them at the right time. The atmosphere of the game is pretty nice. I liked most parts of the game. It is sometimes a hazzle to die suddenly. You can't forsee most of your deaths, so save often! Sometimes they come out of the blue. The end of the game is cringeworthy as an H.P. Lovecraft fan. Was that Goodbye-scene really necessary? That was for sure no Lovecraftian ending to a story. I would be happy about an 8bit remake with less clunky controls. That would be great!

Une mécanique de jeu totalement ratée
Lorsqu'on est fan du mythe de Cthulhu, on sera tôt ou tard confronté à "Shadow of the Comet". A sa sortie en 93, ce jeu me faisait de l'oeil : une enquête sur fond d'ésotérisme, des graphismes plutôt bons mais inégaux, des portraits de personnages impressionnants et, + tard avec le cd-rom, des voix digitalisées. Mais bon, en ce temps là, je ne pouvais m'offrir tous les jeux et mes sous allaient d'abord alimenter les caisses de Lucasarts. Des années plus tard, grâce à GOG, je tente l'expérience. Et je me dis que j'avais bien fait de m'abstenir. Si l'enquête est plutôt intéressante, sans être extraordinaire non plus, la mécanique est frustrante. Les déplacements de Parker sont pénibles : il faut laisser la souris appuyée pour faire venir le personnage à l'endroit désiré. On passe vite aux touches du clavier, ce qui est un comble pour un point'n click. Quant à l'interaction avec les objets, il faut être pile à côté d'eux sans quoi ça ne fonctionne pas, et faire un clic droit pour afficher le menu, et ensuite cliquer sur l'icone d'action correspondante. Un calvaire, surtout comparé aux chefs d'oeuvre de l'époque comme Monkey Island. Au bout de plusieurs heures, j'ai fini par abandonner le jeu et regarder la fin sur Youtube. Préférez plutôt "prisoner of ice" si vous souhaitez rester dans l'univers de Lovecraft, ou mieux, les jeux de ces dernières années.

Immersive Atmosphere and Wonderful Style
I've had to look up walkthroughs / strategy guides to comfortably get through parts of this game, but overall I think this is a very intriguing and rare type of game you run into. This is the only Lovecraft game I know of that deserves praise. The developers nailed the atmosphere, characters, setting. You really get a lot of playtime for 6$. This will be remembered by me as one of my favorite games. The music isn't the most impressive, but it fits for this game and there were limitations with the technology. As the plot unfolds the more suspenseful it gets and you become a bit more used to the controls and puzzles. Others mainly complain about the controls because it's an old DOS game... most of those games back then had control schemes that were non-standard or a lot different from today, I found it intuitive enough to understand once I learned it. The game might come with a manual. Wasn't the biggest fan of the dungeon crawling, but it wasn't too bad.
