A good eldritch horror game

I’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

So fun

It’s really fun and spooky! I screen share and play together with my partner

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 don’t leave a lot of game reviews but this was worth it good game

This game is not given enough credit

Nice Adventure

Very nice old school text based adventure game. Not easy at the beginning, but was great to play.

One of the best text-based stories

I don’t write reviews and I’m mai Lu doing this because I’m bored but this games I actually really good. I’m a bit slow so I had to use hints but this games was really fun overall :) The story is really good and the gameplay was fun 🙏

Great game and inspiring

I really enjoyed this game and reminds me so much of Zork, the lovecraftian storytelling is riveting. I was playing this and didn’t notice the time fly by. Being a game developer myself , I have a plan for my own horror game and this is very inspiring on that front. I liked this so much that I downloaded the whole series.

Dude!!!

This game was awesome! Love these type of games. Really makes you think with the ability to open, push, pull, use everything. Etc. it really gets your mind going! Please make more of these. Great story. Super addicting. Loved it!

Lovecraft would have approved!

Really enjoyed this. I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the language and the accompanying music. I got stuck forever trying to find the trophy room. The only reason I knew it existed was the hint. Had there not been this hint I would have never finished this lol. I was so frustrated. The map did not show an adjoining room for the first floor landing and so for a long time I didn’t realize I could go north rather than up. When I finally got into the trophy room, it was a couple of clicks and I was done (I had already done everything else). But overall I really loved this game. I know I’m a big late to the party but couldn’t resist writing a review. Will be playing your other games. :) Thanks for this.

Great game

The game itself was super fun though very confusing at times. Like with the fertilizer, really my only other complaint was extra items. I had no idea what the piano line was for or what the mirror was for. It could just be my ignorance but I couldn't find anywhere to use them

Schönes oldschool adventure

Und wirklich kostenlos.

Marvellous

With the minimalist means the developers manage to immerse the player fully in the game and the journey leaves a lasting impression. A must-play.
Thank you!

Love it!

So relaxing, I recommend it I love the simplicity but still challenging

Boring

Boring

Great for fans of lovecraft

I a huge fan of Lovecraft and the genre of Lovecraftian horror. It is hard to find something with true Lovecraftian feel without being cliché fan service. This game delivers wonderfully and balances perfect difficulty, puzzle solving and narrative. Best of all there are no adds to break the immersion of the experience.

Great mystery

I loved this game. Nice simple interface that evoked the text adventures of old. Much more engaging than many of the flashily bright adventures out there.

Nice Game

Thank you

Fun

It’s like the text adventure games of my youth but with a map!
