Great atmosphere, dodgy controls
Great horror game inspired by Lovecraft's "Shadow of Innsmouth". The overall atmosphere is consistently creepy and unsettling throughout the game. For the best effect I recommend playing it in the middle of the night. :) The graphics are mostly very nice if you grew up with and can appreciate the pixellated beauty of '90s games. The game is very hard though, even if you are familiar with the Cthulhu mythos, and its knowledge doesn't really help with solving the various puzzles, so I recommend having a walkthrough handy to save yourself some frustration. Sometimes the in-game clues do not make it clear enough where to go next, sometimes you just miss a tiny detail, and sometimes you feel stuck even if you are doing the right thing but the cursor is off by a few pixels and you wonder why you can't get something working, or why you can't find and object despite you have clicked on every inch of the screen. Also save often, because there are many ways you can die unexpectedly. As I already mentioned the controls are the biggest flaw of the game, takes a while to get used to and up to the very end of the game I wasn't always sure how to use them properly -- sometimes to 'use' an object you have to 'look' at something rather than click the 'use' icon, and so forth... it's not very intuitive, hence only 4 stars.
