To get things clear – this is not a typical game. It's some kind of 3D game and audiobook hybrid, which is basically a word by word H. P. Lovecraft's "Dagon". You won't get too much gameplay out of it, as you can only look around and click triggers to push the story forward. I think that audio is very good but I can't say anything about graphics because I was playing on my retro laptop. If you like writing of HPL and/or you like horror stories, make sure to check out this game. If you're neither, still check it out as it is totally free
tl;dr The game is almost the same as the original with improved graphics, music soundtrack, bonus episode and some extra stuff (level editor and leaderboard) but it plays waaay smother which makes playing it more enjoyable. Good quality for not much money. In general I am not a huge fan of remasters. Most of the time I think of them as not very subtle way to get money from fans. But playing this one - I am really suprised by how this remaster gets it's job done. I bought it after seeing an actual gameplay and frankly I got everything I wanted. The gameplay is as close to the original as it can be, with only a few tweaks that make it more enjoyable. First of all the graphics is upgraded, but you can see it on screenshots so there is no need to describe what you can see, but I must say that it looks almost like original. The textures are more polished and look better, but the spirit of the original stays intact. Secondly everything works much smoother than original and it actually improves gameplay a lot. Kudos for leaving the original sound effects of PC speaker which makes nostalgia hit you much harder than expected. The only downside to me is the music. Not because it is bad, because the tunes are quite catchy, but because they sound a little bit gameboyish to me. Some nice MIDI music would be more in line with a remake of DOS game Regarding the bonus content: - Lever Editor is really functional so you get used to it quite fast (after checking help messages) - Leaderbord is quite empty at the moment. I am in top 100 after completing 5 levels of first episode - There is no community content atthe moment, but since the game was published a few days ago that's understandable - No opinion on bonus episode - will get that after completing it.
