    The story is an engaging and well-written interactive narrative set in a Lovecraftian universe, featuring a compelling teenage protagonist and multiple endings. While player choices have limited impact on the overall plot, the narrative remains intriguing and atmospheric, drawing players into its eerie adventure. However, some players have noted frustrations with progression and the limited influence of their decisions in the early chapters.

    • “Awesome interactive Lovecraftian story based on decision making with several endings and a lot of thought about mysticism or rather occultism.”
    • “It's an intriguing story, well written and offers multiple endings (though I've only experienced the bad ending as of writing this review).”
    • “Not so much a game as an interactive story, this text-based Lovecraftian tale has a compelling narrative and great atmosphere, complemented quite nicely by the art design.”
    • “Although only a minor portion of the 'choices' you make actually have an impact on how the story plays out (and not a single decision in the first few chapters at all as far as I can tell!), this interactive ~300 page story is nevertheless interesting and quite well written.”
    • “The reference to Lovecraft is rather subtle and the story is not necessarily in line with Lovecraftian lore.”
    • “Although the player is really more of an accessory to Elena's story, their advice and guidance will still have great influence in determining her fate.”

  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
