    Golly, another Lovecraftian game. I thought adventure
    games were my type, but perhaps it's The Great Old
    Ones that are my thing? A very Indie game, it0MQHA uses
    hand-drawn artwork (which you'll either love or hate
    from the start) and old-school role-playing mechanics.
    Lots0Y6EY of text in this one too, so only the literate
    need apply.* A bit unpolished in areas (movement
    especially is annoyingly slow) but DFRF7overall a fun
    experience for Lovecraft fans... well, as 'fun' as
    meddling in Things Man Was Not Meant To Understand
    can ever be. ;-)

    Ok, I was unsure about this one at first as horror is not really my
    thing but everything else about it I like including the graphics
    style. It seems to be a mix of adventure and RPG. I took this one.

    I think I am going to play this one next. I am really curious about
    this game. I don't think the slow walking speed is going to bother me
    as I am used to playing Sierra games without speeding up character
    movement.

    Thank you for sharing another adventure game here Spalls.

    Thank you for giving this game a loving home. Too many games these
    days are left abandoned and unloved, forced to struggle for a few K of
    RAM or dark corner of some hard-drive in which to live forgotten. But
    for only a few watts per day and a pittance of gigabytes, you too can
    give an unwanted game a new chance at life, to be loved and
    appreciated.

    Won't you please help the unwanted games this holiday season? Don't
    let them go to bots who'll just resell them on the the dark web. Give
    them a chance to shine.
