When the game came to gog, it used to support linux, but now they just dropped support for it, what a delicate attention. So the windows version? It keeps telling me my machine doesn't meet the minimal requirements, even though my machine far above the recommended requirements, and then the game exits without any way to merely try. "But it's an early access game, of course you should expect bugs!" Sure, but it's been more than 10 years this game is in early access, so let's be real, it will never be released, and probably won't get fixed either. "Why not contacting them instead of whining in a gog review?", because their "support" redirects you to steam forums. Sure, I'm gonna buy this crap again on a DRM-full store, good idea!
If you read the other reviews, they're quite positive, but seem to come from lovecraft fans. I never read a lovecraft book, but bought the game anyway to give it a try. This review reflects this point of view. I finished the game, it's short. The graphics, setting and atmosphere are nice and all, but the story doesn't make a lot of sense. When the game ends, all is left unanswered, perhaps because I didn't read lovecraft stories. In this game, there's very little to do and not a lot to explore. The few puzzles are not very good. Not having read the original stories, I missed all the references, and the game per se, without them, is quite shallow. So, I can't say I enjoyed the game a lot. (don't misunderstand me: I'm not judging lovecraft stories, they're known to be at the very least quite influential and often praised) TL;DR: If you're not a lovecraft fan: there are a way better walking simulators, you can skip this one.
