How it feels

A slow, atmospheric point-and-click puzzle adventure with retro pixel graphics, evoking a creepy, mysterious exploration of a cursed town.

What players say

Players praise the faithful Lovecraft adaptation and retro point-and-click style, though many are sharply divided over the sudden quick-time events late in the game. The moody pixel art and voice acting win plaudits, but the clumsy interface and maze puzzles frustrate as much as the controversial ending sequence.
