How it feels
A deliberately paced, hand-drawn investigation into Lovecraftian mysteries, where you manage a party and craft tools in a gothic, top-down world that feels like a waking nightmare.

What players say
Players compare it to Cultist Simulator but find it easier, shorter, and more linear, often finishing in 10 to 20 hours. Many say the game has no replay value, and opinions split on the writing. Several reviewers call it overpriced at $19.99.
