How it feels
A point-and-click adventure that feels like a tense, eerie pulp fiction story with cosmic dread and darkly funny moments.

What players say
Players appreciate the authentic 90s point-and-click feel and Lovecraftian atmosphere, but opinions split on the puzzles: some find them logical, while others call them absurd and illogical. The game is short, has two endings, and those who played the free prequel say this one improves on it across the board.
