A hooded figure approached the damsel, offering her a mysterious gift. This guy wears a robe - sanity check. Your pants keep ripping in the rear area from all the stuff you keep herding about? Sanity check. You're in a public place and someone farts loudly nearby. You know it, sanity check. That being said this is one of my favourite mythos game.

I'm an avid reader of Lovecraft, and a player of Fantasy Flight's "Mansions of Madness" and Arkham Horror LCG, so I'm very much the target audience for this video game. This is largely an on-rails story engine interspersed with turn-based combat, and it's great fun. Progression through each leve requires you to walk through the environment, clicking on highlighted objects. Through this, you gain clues about the story, unlock side quests, and gather useful items. Sometimes you stumble into a monster and have to fight. As you play, you collect different investigators willing to help you out. Your party size maxes out at 3, but you get more investigators than that, so you get to choose which investigators you want to bring along for each chapter. There's a roguelike-like element to this, because sometimes you don't know which investigators are best until you've played through at least part of a chapter, so you can return to the Office, re-spec your party, and start the chapter over. Your Office also serves as storage. You have limited carrying capacity, so you have to choose what gear you bring along. There are items that provide buffs, there are weapons, bandages, and spell books. You'll want to take them all, but then you'll find stuff during the chapter and won't have room to carry it. There are lots of tough choices throughout. Still, the game is very much a linear story. It's the farthest thing from an open world game you can get, and it only lasts 20 hours, but these are its virtues. This game plays a little like a tabletop game, in a way: You can take your time taking in and processing the environment and the story, and occasionally you get the adrenaline rush of combat. You can pretty much always see the end in site, because there are only 9 chapters. It's one of those relaxing horror stories you can get through in a week (or even a weekend if you've got all day). Low on commitment but highly addictive. I don't want all games to be like this, but I do wish there were more like this.

Very well thought out. Nice expansion from the table top Arkham Horror. To bad it's not multiplayer.
