### 5/5 — Beeindruckend

*2025-08-17*

Ich habe mir das Adventurebuch gerade geladen und die ersten Kapitel gespielt. 
Das ist richtig gut geschrieben und ich bin gespannt wie sich die Geschichte entwickelt.

Der Kauf hat sich jetzt schon gelohnt.

### 4/5 — Tolles Abenteuerbuch

*2025-07-06*

Dieses Textadventure bzw Abenteuerbuch fesselt einem richtig. Es gibt zig verschiedene enden und es macht Spaß alles auszuprobieren. Dies muss man auch, denn mit Logik kommt man nicht weit. Zu verschoben sind die Realitäten bei Lovecraft.

### 4/5 — Richtig gut!

*2025-04-14*

Toll geschrieben und mit dezentem, gutem Humor gespickt! Nur diese politisch korrekte Anmerkung zu Lovecrafts Person am Anfang erinnert mich doch sehr an Warnungen von ARD und ZDF zu „problematischen“ Inhalten oder Personen. Mich stört so etwas sehr. Das Spiel selbst jedoch ist top. Deswegen 4 von 5.

### 2/5 — Eye roll

*2025-03-29*

First off, the disclaimer about not being racist, because Lovecraft was a product of his time, wasn’t really necessary. Then the candy crush reference was another eye roll. It’s pretty cringe fora Lovecraft adventure…

### 1/5 — Too PC

*2023-04-05*

I love H. P. Lovecraft by why change something because ‘we want to be inclusive. Well you aren’t including people who love a good classic. In fact, you have actively excluded us. No thanks.

### 5/5 — This is a certified Third Oath of Dagon moment

*2022-01-11*

Went to a beach party at night and had some fish—very filling— and they give it to you raw right on the water. 10/10, would come again. 

PS: If you’re thirsty, ask for Hydra, she makes a great sex on the beach. Make sure you give her the tip— I mean a tip. *A tip.*

—Obed Marsh

### 1/5 — Extremely short game for such a money

*2021-06-17*

I’ve finished it in around an hour, too bad.

### 4/5 — Все ок, но...

*2021-03-27*

Игра хорошая. А русский язык для русскоязычных игроков планируется?

### 5/5 — Bravi

*2020-11-02*

Primo, si spera di una lunga serie, gioco degli sviluppatori tedeschi Robot Pumpkin Games. È un’avventura testuale a bivi (come j librogame, per i più vecchi!), ovviamente ispirata a HPL. Anche se l’impianto è spassosamente parodistico, dalle brillanti righe del gioco traspare chiaramente amore e conoscenza della materia originale. Ci sono un sacco di finali da scoprire, quindi il livello di rigiocabilità è elevato. Io mi ci sto divertendo un sacco!

### 1/5 — So disappointed

*2020-07-23*

I really wanted to like this game as a Lovecraft fan. It’s almost a kids game. The art is just plain silly. The writing is bad. If you’ve ever actually read The Shadow over Innsmouth you’ll hate this game. I didn’t even mind it was a text game. I’m not sure who this was made for. Honestly it seems like it’s aimed at 12 year olds. You can’t combine lovecraft with with the silly character art like that. Like it’s a Disney movie. I tried but I couldn’t get through it.

**Developer response:** Hello!
Too bad you didn't like the game. We are big fans of the "Shadow over Innsmouth" story ourselves, but we wanted to do something completely different with it. We were hoping that the screenshots would give a good overview of what the players can expect. If you change your mind, we can assure you that there are many story paths that take a more serious tone.
