Before I played this game, I had never read anything by Lovecraft. Now I have digested 13 Lovecraft novels, and this game is the sole reason. The mechanics are quite simplistics, but the tension that the game builds made me want to play the next episode. And the next, and the next, and the next. The key element is the sound design, which might be the best I have encountered in any game I have played. The sound effects are perfect for creating an eerie setting, and the music is perfect too. The pixel art graphics work very well to obscure just enough to let the player imagine the rest, sort of when reading a book. Playing this game was a great experience. I truely enjoyed it. The first four episodes are available for free on Kongregate. If you are not trapped after playing two, you might as well stop. But I doubt you will want to stop.
