Pretty good, if you can stomach that old-game jankiness. Personally, I thrive on it. Just google and download the absolutely CRITICAL patch to fix game breaking bugs . Gameplay: 7/10 - a fun shooter with long stretches of walking. Story: 7/10 - what can I say, one of the rare games based on the Cthulhu-mythos. Graphics: ... - They have not aged well but that's to be expected.

It is enjoyable, but get ready to jump through some patch-hoops to make it run on modern systems.

I enjoyed playing some sections of this game, but other parts are arse. The game is unbearably buggy. I can't tell if it is because its Bethesda or because its an old game that does not fit with new versions of Windows. Likely a combination of both. The game looks like it had really good potential, but this bugs completely ruin it. I have had crashes, invisible enemies, randomly dying in the final chase scene for no reason, loosing the ability to jump properly, a really shite bug where the inventory takes a decade to load in, dialogue cutting off and much more. A good game completely ruined by bugs. Tbf, there are some good fixes out there. I am just too paranoid about dodgy URLs or whatever. Don't judge. If you want to play and you are not as paranoid as me, the game is probably really good if you download a community patch.

The game exudes a captivating Lovecraftian vibe, immersing you in Jack's story, which is full of intriguing threads and never dull. Each chapter brings you closer to the Great Cthulhu, unveiling increasingly abstract monsters and surreal locations. The creators have cleverly incorporated numerous riddles. While some can be quite challenging and occasionally frustrating, the sense of satisfaction upon solving them is immensely rewarding. Despite its age, the game remains a worthwhile purchase and experience.

By far the best lovecraftian game I have ever played. The atompshere is perfect, story is great based on a rpg scenario thats based on shadow over innsmouth. Chase scene is still the most sense of dread I have ever had in a video game. Though the shooting and controls can be very ass and there are some crashes and a couple bugs that soft lock you from completing the game. This can be remided by either downloading the unoffical patch or just buying it on GOG. Basically if you have some patients and can handle the rough gunplay its a must play for anyone lovecraft fan. And buy on GOG
