Loved it! After playing Dredge I wanted to play another Lovecrafty-ish game. It gave me more than I asked for: The atmosphere, the typical "is it all happening or is it only in my mind...? am I dreaming?" Gameplaywise: You have your typical horror survial features with sanity, sleep, hunger, you have to manage your money and I adivise playing the game at least twice because trust me, the first time you will f* up everything. However, this way it's way more intense and spooky. The second run I would advise playing on easy since that way you can focus on exploring all that the game has to offer. It does have multiple endings so you get a nice reward for playing it another time. On a spook level from 1-10 I would say it's a solid 6-7. I like the spook but I'm too scared to play like real hardcore horror games. So if you are like me, searching for a mild adrenalin rush while still enjoying story and gameplay, this is a game I can really recommend.<3

The hybridization of RPG, point and click, and not having to pixel hunt for everything makes this a fantastic game if you like any of the elements it offers and the emphasis on learning in your first playthrough and taking that knowledge back to a new game to do it better next time is a great touch for replayability.

This is such a unique experience, I don't even know what to call it: A resource and time management point&click adventure game? You play as first-year student Walter Gilman who's cramming for his next exam while living on a small allowance in a rickety lodging house. Things are not easy, the wiring is faulty, the weather is terrible, and you get only three logs of firewood for the whole week. And then there are these unexplainable noises from the attic, and has that rat a human face?! As Walter, you have to manage your health and sanity, allow time for sleep and studying, you have to borrow the right books, and speak with your professor about your theory that you are hopefully also working on. Every hour of every day you have to make decisions how to best spend your time: Do you do some odd jobs for your landlady for a couple bucks? Or should you rather spend a few more hours on your maths skills? Do you visit your neighbor in the evening and ask for a board to cover the rat hole in your room, or do you visit the event you read about in the newspaper, and that promises some distraction? The game is surprisingly complex, and there is not just one optimal way to play it. In my first try I died through an unfortunate series of events, and was surprised how different many details in my next attempt were. The weather, items that you find and where you find them, when certain things happen - all that is randomized to some extent. I had a lot of fun uncovering the story, how to make it to the end, and then how to not doom the world to some Lovecraftian horror and achieve the best ending. The game makes an autosave each morning, and you can make your own saves whenever you want, which makes it easy to experiment, and you don't have to start at the beginning each time if you want to try for a different ending. I had a great time with Dreams in the Witch House. If you like a challenge and don't mind jotting down some notes, you should definitely try this one out.

This is one of the best point-and-click adventure Lovecraftian horror games I've ever played. You play as Walter Gilman, a new student at Miskatonic University, who is fascinated with the occult. You'll have to study your normal subjects like math, physics, chemistry, astronomy while writing a thesis on the occult and dodging the mysterious occult dealings of Witch Keziah Mason and the entity Nyarlathotep. This game can be challenging as you have to juggle studies, food, rest, time management, injuries, writing your thesis and more! Any Lovecraftian enthusiast would be delighted to play this game. With multiple endings, this game provides hours of entertainment and lots of replayability. Note: Right mouse click lets you inspect items and surroundings more without asking Walter to pick the item up. PROS: * Amazing pixel art * Engaging story * Exciting characters and locations from the grater Lovecraftian universe * Multiple endings (even the "bad" endings are really cool!) * Lots of achievements to collect (with varying difficulty) * Can save anywhere with multiple saves. Has an autosave feature too * Easy UI and Inventory system CONS: * The test questions can be difficult (write notes!) * Juggling you finances can be challenging (I recommend buying rations, sleeping pills, ear plugs, and pain relievers) * You will have to do multiple playthroughs in order to get all achievements (not really a con, but a FYI) * No controller support (that I'm aware of) * Some of the puzzles are quite challenging and may require you to look at a walkthrough (There are not too many created for ease, I suggest looking at the Steam Achievements discussion for assistance; and Google for test questions) https://www.seravium.com https://twitch.tv/seravium

A compelling, delightful, and horrifying spin on classic point and click adventure games. You have to balance studying for exams, writing a paper, making money to get by as a student, and, oh yeah, surviving the surreal horrors that haunt you during the night from the walls of your crummy rented room. I found myself totally invested in each story line and pressed for time and resources to complete any of them. This is such a fun, creepy, strange, and unique game.
