A text-heavy, choice-driven narrative RPG that plunges you into a bleak Lovecraftian nightmare, with a focus on psychological tension and atmospheric dread.

What players say

Players praise the Lovecraft atmosphere and the way each character offers a distinct perspective on the same events, but many report that a December 2024 update broke the game, replacing much of the text with code strings. Reviews split on the meaningfulness of choices and the value for money, with some calling the plot generic and others finding the decisions impactful.
