A slow, deliberate point-and-click investigation that immerses you in a gloomy, occult-tinged world where every clue deepens the unease.

What players say

Players praise the oppressive Lovecraftian atmosphere and sound design, but warn that the story is disjointed and the ending is abrupt and unsatisfying. The puzzles are often described as obtuse, forcing many to use a guide, and the controls feel clunky and dated.
