What players say
Players describe this as an interactive audiobook rather than a traditional game, with minimal player agency. It faithfully adapts Lovecraft's short story with great narration and visuals, takes about 30 minutes, and includes trivia about the author. Some find the lack of gameplay boring, while others appreciate the free, faithful horror experience.
