Following "The Land of Pain", this game continues the same eerie world and atmosphere, building on it in all the right ways. The fact that this game was made by just one developer is pretty crazy. The visuals are beautiful, the atmosphere immersive, and it really feels like a passion project full of great Lovecraftian horror elements. I liked the horror parts, they are not super intense, but they set a nice creepy mood. Most of the time is spent exploring the world, getting a few good scares, and trying not to accidentally walk off a cliff to your death, which I definitely came close to more than once. There is plenty of walking and exploration, balanced with solid puzzles that are clever without being frustrating. It kept me engaged without ever feeling stuck. A great pick for those who enjoy atmospheric exploration mixed with horror elements and cosmic mystery.

Pretty good lovecraftian walking simulator with some survival elements. The gameplay is nothing special (take item x, go to place y to use it and the occasional running away from undescribable horrors etc.) but the graphics and atmosphere are pretty good. The puzzles are fairly simple throughout. The only thing that slightly bothered me is the fact that the player character ist a complete moron who seeks out the most dangerous situations, including immediately activating every sinister looking strange contraption he encounters without having a clue of the consequences. But I guess that is a classic type of protagonist for a cosmic horror story. Anyway, I felt very entertained the whole game through.

Well this was an interesting game! Great atmosphere, a few jumpscares, some gross goo and a bunch of dead people which kept it creepy. However, it has a few kinks in the game that make it awfully hard to play. Anytime I was near water (which is often) my frame rate would drop significantly to around 3-5 fps. It made the game slightly tedious to get through and I have excellent internet and a brand new 4070 nvidia chip so its not that. It literally only dropped in scenes near water (in caves, ponds, the river, a creek, a lake, etc.) and there there's a lot of water in the game. I noticed others mentioning their games would crash or stall randomly in the game so I wonder if its related to my experience. Rendering near water was just no bueno and I changed my graphics settings too. Besides that, there really isn't much to do beyond walking around though. No real puzzles or fight scenes or even talking to anyone really. Just reading journal notes, so that could be tedious for some as well. That said, I completed the entire thing and I didn't mind. I would play if you have patience to get through the frame drops.

You can say i is something from Lovecraft's world. And I would say it is some kind of parody on his ideas. I felt some kind of vibe, I saw something similar to games like Chtulhu, I was intrigued from the start.. and disappointed at the ending. Mostly, the outcome was very predictable. No scary moments. Nothing truly impressive. Sometimes you cannot even understand what is going on, what are these creatures, what should you expect, what should you find. Maybe.. if the graphic was a liiiitle better.. not so vague.. maybe I could've been interested. This game is for you only if you have nothing better to play.

A very nice game. Just like "The Land of Pain" and also playing in the same timeline. A bit short though and there is little to no explanation on what is going on. But since the game is connected to "The Land of Pain" I have some hope that the upcoming "Cosmic Fear" might shed some light into the dark. Played the game entirely on Steam Deck and the experience was okayish. There where areas the game had a hard time to maintain at least 30fps. But it manageable imho. What bothered me a bit was the controller support which kinda is 99% there. You can play the whole game with ease no doubt but there are hard coded keyboards and mouse controls. Not sure why the compatibility notes so not mentioning it though. With some trial and error some will eventually find out how to navigate the journal, to exit the game without force quitting it via the overlay or how to apply any game settings. Hint: it's "X", "B" for the journal and "A" for applying options and "B" in the main menu to quit the game. Anyway looking forward to the 3rd part of the series.
