How it feels

A witty, black-and-white comedy adventure where you poke around a goofy Lovecraftian world, solving mysteries with turn-based fights and deadpan humor.

What players say

Players praise the silly, well-written comedy and note it has even more secrets and side quests than its predecessor, though some find the absurd atmosphere slightly less dense. The game is a small download that can still eat up dozens of hours.
