cool visual novel

A nice visual novel, this one is based on the short story "Dagon" by HP Lovecraft. I have never read his works, but this was interesting, and I guess that this is my introduction into that universe. The prose and writing style took a little bit for me to get used to and I had to re-read some of the lines. Lovecraft seems to have had a very descriptive and verbose writing style that was a little dense at times for me but it was also really atmospheric and imaginative. As a video game, this is very barebones and just consists on you clicking on either an icon to advance the story, or special hidden icons that will give you more tidbits of information on Lovecraft and his era. The 3D environments look pretty good, and I'm glad that they are rendered graphics rather than a flat artwork and text screen. This is free and should take you less than an hour to complete, maybe more than that if you are looking for all of the hidden bits of information.

I Love it!

It was amazing! It reminded me of Dear Esther which I enjoyed also. Love this type of story telling.

Trick of the light (novel)

Great visual Novel, terrible walking sim where you don't even walk. Anyway, when it shines, it shines bright. The visuals & the narrator voice are the main point of this short novel retranscription. Do not expect something like "The Shore". Here , you won't move, you bearely click on things 2 POI maximum per paragraphs. For the ones not familiar with HP Lovecraft life, there's some little informations about him. The project is cool but I wouldn't dare call this a "game".

Visual experience of the short story

Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft is basically a retelling of the short story of the same name by the same author. The words are exactly the same, so in a way it's just like reading the story, but with visuals and a bit of interaction. It's not a walking sim, you cannot move your character, but you can look around the Lovecraftian landscapes and find some interesting Lovecraft trivia by finding hidden Elder Signs. Because it is based on a short story, it should come to no surprise that the game is short as well, it took me around half an hour to finish. But it's free, so don't worry about it. If the developers would make more of these visual, Lovecraft-retelling short games, I would definitely play them.

Very good visual novel

4.5* rounded up because I had so much more fun than I expected from a free game. . Every scene has so many amazing details I was as interested in taking it all in as I was in progressing the story. The ambient sounds, music and narrator's voice made the immersion into the story almost complete. It's not without issues: on my screen the tinypointer pixel was almost invisible at times, and thank creators for subtitles, because there were few screens where the narration disappeared in the background music, but none of that ruined my fun. Even though we're railroaded through the story, the trivia hunt keeps the player engaged. I first got my hands on Lovecraft's stories in middle school, and the team still managed to find some trivia that would be new to me. And it's all for free!
