Need help
I love this game it’s amazing but on 4 attempts I keep dying at the same spot either when the cult people take me or I’m hit over the head and killed
Interesting
It's really cool with the lovecraftian and thankfully they have fixed it did have a save system but there was just a bug not allowing you to reload it
Spectacular!
Absolutely amazing! Although I’m furious I died right at the very end after playing for like 5-6 hours... And I didn’t solve the quest! There really should be some kind of a save system implemented. Nevertheless, what a game! Loved it!
Good writing, bad game
Really wanted to like this game. I haven’t seen a good horror game done in ChoiceScript yet, and this story was clearly a labor of love by7 someone who knows how to write....
....unfortunately, writing, by itself, does not a good game make.
The problem with this story is that the main character gets to a decision point where the player has to make the right choice otherwise end up with a permanent game over. There’s no save point, there’s no going back, it’s replay the entire game to get to this point again, and hope you make the right choice.
I’ve played it through three times and, apparently, have not made the right choice (or series of choices?) to make it through to an optimal ending. As it is, restarting every single time is draining my patience....
If this game had the ability to restore to a previous save point (as other ChoiceScript games do,) this would be far less of an issue. As it is, unfortunately, this isn’t even a three star game.
I guess the developers tried to get around this issue by making the entire first part of the story skippable....okay, great, but what does that mean? The choices made in the first half of the game don’t matter?
In other games, I enjoy replaying/rereading stuff because I can see that my decisions have an impact on how the story progresses. Here, other than changing a few words here and there, they really don’t.
I hate to be so critical, because I really did enjoy the writing. In fact, I would pay to read a horror story by this team...because it feels like this work would’ve been more successful as a story than an interactive game.

Interesting, engaging, and different
I’ve played many CoG/Hosted Games. It was a treat to play one which had a very different feel to it compared with others I’ve played. I don’t want to give anything away, but the act of investigating the mystery changes your character’s nature. Your choices influence what happens, but there is less emphasis on building stats and more emphasis on consequences of your decisions.
There are many endings. I’ve only done one play-through so far, so I don’t know how different the “forks” in the story will be.
It’s a long game. This was fun in that I got many hours of enjoyable play. It may be a hindrance if I want to get all the endings.

Refreshing and Different
Amongst the other choice games, this one stands out for its focus on investigation and narrative. The horror elements in this story are top notch, and is arguably the best horror mystery title that Choice Games has to offer.
The characters all have their own personalities, which make them memorable. If you like playing the role of the detective/occult expert, then this game is made for you.

Lovecraftian Mystery
What a wonderful game. Playing this game was a very visceral experience for me. As my character slowly unraveled the mystery and sank further into madness, I found myself getting more and more paranoid in real life. I would highly recommend this game.
Very good
This was a very pleasant surprise, well written and very lengthy. I very much enjoyed this. It’s good that there are still good games coming out of hg because so far this year most of the games weren’t that great.
One of the Best
I have played nearly every title released for both Choice of Games and Hosted Games and this has quickly become one of my favorites. It is incredibly interesting from beginning to end, well written, and entirely unique. I couldn't put down my phone from the time I began it until the conclusion. I would definitely recommend this game.

Engrossing
Been locked into this for hours now. It's brilliant. Reminds me of the adventure books I read when I was a kid. Never review stuff but this deserves it. Excellent
