This actually scared me somehow, it was amazing

United StatesLovecraftian Noir
Great mixture of cosmic horror and hard boiled noir the brings out the best in both. Beautiful yet haunting prose that sticks with you. Well-done research into Scottish Gaelic language and mythology. Strongly recommend.
United StatesEnjoyed it
The story did a really good job making me feel like a character in an Lovecraftian horror story. To the point that I was trying to think ahead. Alot of things here surprised me.
United StatesVery Deep
I enjoyed this game very much, and personally finished it the second time I played it. I’ve noticed that the only reviews from people who didn’t like it kept on mentioning how they would repeatedly die at the same spot. That is what made me stop playing the first time I downloaded. This time, however, I kept playing after that part and found the entire story to be thrilling. I wish people would take a deep breath and realize that it’s only part of the story. I can imagine how frustrating those reviews are. Anyway, it was fantastic, and I expect to find myself playing through it a few more times.
United Statesa wonderful, compelling cosmic horror story
This story was so well-written. And dark. It's for anyone who wants to imagine themselves within a Lovecraft storyline. The story touches something deep within you and I feel like your choices really make an impact. Waiting for the sequel, where hopefully the character I customized can be reloaded!!
United StatesThe Truth Will Set You Free
Fantastic game. 10/10. The storyline is linear at points - granted, this is because the end goal is to solve the case - but this works extremely well. There are enough little yet meaningful variations within the storyline to - right up to the very end - that strengthen the game's replayability. The deduction work can be just a little bit frustrating at times, but I'm giving that a break. We just so happen to be in for a pound instead of a penny for this particular "case". Technically speaking, sometimes you'll accidentally repeat actions over again - if you aren't paying attention - because they aren't removed from your options after you've performed them. It's a small annoyance but it just means you have to pay attention, not just skim. There are no "penalties" if you repeat an action over again, as far as I know. In a nutshell, A+ game if you're looking to scratch that itch for some disturbingly well written Cthulhu horror.
