Terrible interface
Intro is kind of cool and the story kind of holds up until halfway through the game. The interface though makes it a lot more painful than it should have been.

A Cthulhu Classic
This retro point and click adventure isn't particularly scary but it really digs into the Lovecraftian mythos in an interesting way, and though the game could use some updates for modern hardware, it's an enjoyable experience for fans of classic point and click games.

OOF
Cool art, music and atmosphere, more campy than creepy. But my GOD the presentation is all over the place. This is the worst UI I've ever seen in an adventure game. And it seems like there is just no ideal way to run this game? Either the animations are spastic, but you don't die of old age waiting for the next line, or the animations are fluid but the text takes 20 minutes to get though. Yes, I've messed with the DOSBOX settings, this is just kinda how the game is. The CD audio actually makes this worse because not only is the VO work abysmal, it's not synced at all. As far as I can tell, this is yet ANOTHER Shadow Over Innsmouth adaptation -- excuse me -- ILLsmouth. Also why are all the characters 3.5 feet tall??

Of it's time
I like the storyline ( yeah!), I like the dialogue( yeah!), I like the retro graphics ( yeah!), I really can't stand the music and the user interface left me with a sense of impatience and frustration that to be honest ruined the game for me. If you are a Cthulhu nut give it a go, if you're a p n' c nut and want to see something historic give it a go. But again to be honest the free copy of flight of the amazon is way better. Pity I do love reading Lovecraft and I was really looking forward to this.

Didactic Portrait of Lady 90s
Shadow of the Comet is a good example of the adventure genre in the 90s, with its merits and flaws shining like the stars over Illsmouth on Halley’s passage. However, what the game does wrong may require your patience and goodwill more often than not. Therefore, its appeal is a bit more narrow than other titles, even from that period. On the upside, first things first: it’s Infogrames, it’s Cthulhu. That alone could take you through. This version contains decent voice acting. Nothing extraordinary, but still giving a serviceable personality and flavor to almost all characters. The overall plot is charming, par for the course for Cthulhu lovers. Art direction is stylish, especially the scenery and building design. Other than that, you’ll probably find out for yourself that Shadow of the Comet’s best quality is a certain ‘je ne sais quoi’, a mysterious style that guarantees its place in the gaming cosmos. On the downside, I’d start with sound design. I always chuckle when reading the official line about this: “Bone chilling sound effects that hurtle you into the depths of chaos!”. Uh… no. Sound effects are lacking when compared to similar titles from its time (even other Infogrames’ titles), sometimes just plain weird and funny and also very sparse. Many a scene will feel bland precisely because of this shortcoming of “silent” events. Some puzzles hinder the game’s progression, locking your progress if you make “wrong” choices. Save, save and save, my friend. Dialogue choice structure is linear and also blemished by the 'game-over mechanic' problem. Plot progression felt weird and sometimes nonsensical, tarnishing the story. Not the plot itself, which I quite enjoyed it, but the transitions between the main scenes (the diary helps to bring rythm to the story, but not as much as one would think). In the end, I'd still recommend Shadow of the Comet without hesitation. It’s very didactic of its time if nothing else. Game history par excellence.
