It breaks my heart to review this game so badly, but i cannot recommend this to anyone, even at a discount (unless it eventually gets crazy cheap). As the story progresses, you feel like you´re watching it unfold more than participating in it, and in some games, that works well because the story captures you in such a way that it doesn't matter. Unfortunatelly, this game is the equivalent of using street view on Google Maps, but the streets are a shady Lovecraftian town... And that's it, that's all it's got for you. Some prompts pop up eerly informing you that what you just did will "affect your destiny", but there's like 4 endings. It feels so underwhelming, despite having some great visuals and some good ideas. There's this section where you solve a puzzle inside this weird dream state and they use some perspective tricks that you have to figure out and it looks so good and abstract, really made me feel like i was in an alien lovecraftian world of deep greens and slimy floors. But that's the thing: there was ONE part like that, ONE puzzle. The rest of the game consists of rubbing your mouse against everything until you find the object that progresses the plot. The characters talk to eachother like they're close and personally invested in one another, but it falls completly flat because you don't feel like that, you meet these people and then spend so little time with them that you any impact of something happening to them is lost. The RPG elemnets are also so unecessary and basically only open a few dialog options. Do not buy this game expecting something memorable or thrilling, I love Lovecraft, his mythos, and i enjoyed somewhat the Bethesda CoC game. I liked this game's visuals and some aspects of the sound design, unfortunatelly, that's not nearly enough for a recommendation.
