Simple game

The graphics and story is alright. The gameplay however is straight forward. It's like reading a book or watching episodes of a mini TV serie. Simple game, it's not an immersive sim and, to it's defense, does not describe itself so either. I am glad that I tried it. I have also tried Sinking City. These two games share some similarities like the investigation scenes. Both games have their up and downsides. Still a worthwhile try. Call of Cthulhu Dark Corners of the Earth is still the best Lovecraft game that I have tried. If you haven't already you should definately try that one out. If you're really interested in trying out more Lovecraft games I would say this one doesn't hurt to complete at least once.

Excelent Lovecraftian Horror Game

One of the few games that gets lovecraftian horror done well. Story moved a little slow at points and a few points were a little non intuitive from the game play standpoint, but otherwise very nicely done. Very immersive story and you really feel the decent into madness that comes with the genre. I hope this studio makes more games like this in the future!

Dare to look into the abyss....

As I say in a lot of games I review this is far from a perfect game. However, it is a damn good one with a couple rough spots around stealth sections (one particularly brutal one that will get a lot of people to stop playing). If you can stick with it through those, however there is a truly awesome Lovecraftian horror experience here that many fans of cosmic horror will absolutely love and have been waiting a long time for.

Well within the ballpark

I've played this game 2 times and preparing to do a next run in a while so it does offer a sort of replayability but not right after you finish the game. The voice of Edward Pierce is the same with Jonathan Reid from Vampyr. It is nice to hear him in a good Lovecraftian story. The game offers a fairly wide approach in character role playing. You do have some branches to choose from to aid you in your investigation and how the story proceeds but they are not explored that much, it does not dive too deep but it is well within the budget and lenght of the game. Maybe in the second title? They seem experimental but well put. The story is interesting, characters play well, sound design is a bit off but you get used to it, the soundtrack has its great moments and the overal tone and atmosphere is quite creepy. Voice acting is mostly well done, there are lots of things to discover (read, collect, investigate), the skill tree does a good job influencing heavy on your play style as you move through the story. The atmosphere the graphics offer through those greenish "sick" tones do a great job with the overal theme. At the end of the day you have a great adventure horror game with more than 5 hours to play if you do not rush things and take your time to dive into the universe.

Better story than gameplay

Lets get the bad out of the way first - the RPG system skills are kinda useless and only affect dialogue options. You get so no indication WHICH dialogue option ends the conversation, so keep that in mind. There is no combat whatsover and the sneak segments are not that good. What the games DOES good is the atmosphere - the characters, the terror of the unknown, the madness, the slow realisation of the hopelessness of manking. If you want more combat oriented game - The Sinking City or Dark Corners of the Earth are a better choise.
