A good eldritch horror game

Iโ€™ve spent far too much time playing this. The player has to genuinely think through the situation in a realistic way. This game is also free with no ads, which is high praise in a modern gaming industry.

Fun game, challenging

I enjoyed this game but the puzzles can be maddening at times. Thankfully, I finally finished it. I played the second one first not knowing it was a series. So, onto the third game!

Only problem

Loved this game honestly amazing expected it to be longer though after all i did pay what could be done though to improve is allow the player to find markers so he can mark places of importance or ones hes already checked to help organize and not get overwhelmed also wish it was longer or more chapters otherwise it ok to buy the upgrade its cheap but still its short

Love the game

In this game I love the fact that you can play through the whole base game without having to make any payments usually games of this quality require you to make money transactions also the premium content is cheap for some good fun honestly I donโ€™t leave a lot of game reviews but this was worth it good game
