Rated 4 out of 5 stars
It's horrible... which is what it was going for.
The environment is dark, wet, and unpleasant. The people are all repulsive and hateful. The themes are existential dread and the inconsequentialness of human endeavors. It's definitely a Lovecraftian game. If you can get onboard with that, you'll like it. If cosmic horror ain't your thing, you probably won't. If you like the "Call of Cthulhu" tabletop roleplaying game, this is a pretty faithful adaptation systems-wise. The hero is unlikable. The setting is uncomfortable. The outlook is bleak. It's perfect. I knocked a star off for technical reasons. This really wants to run on something with better hardware. It's not unplayable, but their are things like effect inconsistencies or the animation rigs being inexpressive.

Interesting game with some jank.
Overall, I’m really enjoying this game. It’s a solid adventure game, though I’m not sure how it stacks up to th board game it’s based on. The game is slightly janky, but not so much that it hinders the game. The game isn’t much of a looker, its strengths lie more in its story and atmosphere.

Atmospheric and Interesting
Good Lovecraft influenced game focused more on atmosphere and narrative rather than action. If you are a fan of H.P. Lovecraft, this is a nice ‘Cosmic Horror’ game to experience before the upcoming game ‘The Sunken City’.
