    This game has a lot of rough edges, I'll be the
    first to admit. But it's also one of the best
    Lovecraftian games H3F8Eout there (although that may be
    saying more about the poor quality of Cthulhu games
    in general than boosting "Dark Corners", I admit).
    Still, I rather enjoyed this game, warts and all.
    It's a re-telling of Lovecraft's "Shadow Over
    Insmouth", andWA8IQ its grainy visuals only play into
    the feeling of unease and corruption that has taken
    over that town. Only X3N6Athe end sequence is
    disappointing; the rest of the game is a guilty
    pleasure. Give it a try and see if you agree.

    I don't like the graphics and I am not a fan of horror. The reviews
    are not great either. I will pass.

    Still more to come!

    Looking forward to them.

    I have tried this one (but not finished). It's deserving of a remake to modernize those rough edges on modern hardware, but as is, the atmosphere in the opening stages is suitably unsettling and worth experiencing!

    Well, someone got it, ho-ho-ho. I tried and got "already activated."

    I posted 20 minutes after Spalls posted this. It is possible that
    particular someone got to it even before I had a chance to turn it
    down.
