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!

a journey into the uncanny

The most valuable "game" you can have in your library. A tribute to one of the most important horror writers of our time. Great voice acting, great presentation and a lot of valuable secrets and history lessons waiting to be found in your journey as the story unfolds to easily connect the dots of his impressive work.

Awesome! but read the short story first.

I really loved this game! I played it soon after finishing the actual shortstory (which is public domain btw) and found it to be a great companion to digesting what I had just read. Its basically just an audiobook of the actual shortstory with 3d visuals to help you visualize the events better, but its also sprinkled with fun facts and context for a lot of 'Dagon' and H.P. Lovecraft. Even if you read the story beforehand, its novel just to experience it again in this format. The voice acting, audio, and visuals are all great. But there is a reason you should read the short story first... The thing about reading horror stories like Lovecraft is that you will often do a lot of the heavy lifting for the story by imagining what is being described. Lovecraft is very descriptive but how you interpret and think about the description is different for everybody. For the most part I love the visuals in this game, but I was slightly disappointed by the actual climax of the story and how it was depicted. It just didn't match how I visualized it and it made the encounter less scary than it could have been. Is this a bad thing? not really. This game is free, and tells the story so well that I don't really care if it doesn't match my imagination. honestly, I don't think anything that can be made will ever match what your own imagination creates. That's why you should read 'Dagon' before you play this game. Make your own interpretation, then come back and take in another person's persepective. Enjoy the visual diorama and learn a bit about the creation of the story and the history of love craft. Honestly, if they make a version for every major lovecraft story I think that would be really great. I'll definitely check out the DLC

A Short and Faithful Lovecraftian Story

The game is inspired by one of the first tales by H.P. Lovecraft: Dagon. Before starting the game, I reached for my old copy of his works to re-read Dagon and embark into the game with a fresh memory of the tale. The game is exactly the 3D version of the world created there, and it takes the same time as one would take to read it. It's an interactive novel which you play only with the mouse, clicking your way through the scenes. There is a focus mechanic that enables you to reach for clues about the author himself, and discover a little more about his personal life. The story is fully narrated accompanied with good sound effects. Totally recommed for any Lovecraft fan here.

Great Story Game with Search-and-Find

Kept true to what I remember of Dagon years ago, and the Trivia finding was fun, although I struggled on the last ~4 of them and had to go through the game very slow to locate. Overall very fun, great graphics and a good Lovecraft experience!
