The developers publicly apologized for the the unfinished state of the game. An article said it's a software accident. Haven't played it and prolly never will. It would seem like buying a car that has no engine.
I've played this for a couple of hours, up until the end of level 3 (map 3). The graphics are perfect imo (some great retro pixel art), as is the sound and the whole sound fx. Additionally, the game creates a nice horror atmosphere and lets you really dive into the whole Cthulhu setting, i.e. universe. It does effectively live up to its literary origins. Moreover and most importantly, the whole time through, it wasn't any boring or frustrating playing but instead a lot of fun and a real time killer. So what's the problem? First of all, you find/get way too many seemingly useless items that never actually come in handy. This quickly creates confusion and, in the end, a cluttered inventory. Secondly, you can't go back to previous levels once you've left them, i.e. never enter the yellow light if you haven't completed the whole map yet. Furthermore, the controls are extremely clumsy and complicated if you play this on PC with a mouse and a keyboard. It's much, much easier and simply better to play with a controller (dunno if this is possible with the pc version though). I played it on a Switch, too, and the controls weren't hard or complicated at all but rather intuitive. Moreover, you can't save the game whenever you want or need to. Can be frustrating at times when you have to play the whole map all over again and all your previous progress is somewhat lost. Finally, the difficulty level starts getting quite challenging, starting with the third map. Tons of traps in the ground, numerous monsters and lots of dot-damage. That's actually a problem, too: The dots last way too long and often drain 50% of your health, even if you use enough medi packs. In the end, I still want to go on with this game coz it's simply a lot of fun. It's gonna take some time finishing it, but it's worth that time in my opinion.
Great game and an all-time classic. However, combat encounters are nearly impossible to deal with using a mouse pad/touchpad due to the sloppy reaction time.
It's a pretty good game that indeed reminds you of those classic Lovecraft stories. However, it's simply a bit too much retro...They simply overdo it. It may be an interesting idea to use such extreme pixel graphics but it ruins much of the otherwise creepy and gloomy atmosphere. The story is excellent and original, however.
Nice game but not quite worth the money and sightly overpriced
Good game. But just as Kris has stated, the game crashes immediately as soon as you try to save...thus not playable.
