    139 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization model of the game is generally viewed positively, with many players appreciating the optional and unobtrusive nature of ads, which are primarily used for rewards rather than forced interruptions.

Overall, while the game allows for free play, the monetization strategy has drawn mixed reactions, with some players feeling it leans too heavily on microtransactions.

    • “In-game purchases are available, though after 24 hours of play, I haven't felt the pressure to do so yet.”
    • “The game gives you plenty of opportunities for boosts without having to make in-app purchases.”

  • graphics
    132 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game have received widespread praise for their beautiful pixel art and Lovecraftian aesthetic, creating an engaging and atmospheric experience.

    • “The graphics are okay, but the Cthulhu theme is all that really separates this from the next incremental game.”

    • “You'd think an idle game couldn't get any worse but you'd be wrong, after the latest Halloween update, the game freezes, it crashes, it freezes even on idle and it crashes, giving a BSOD, there are glitches, graphic glitches, I never thought that would be possible in a 2-bit game.”
  • gameplay
    72 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with many players appreciating the aesthetic and thematic elements but criticizing the slow progression and lack of depth in mechanics.

  • story
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

Adding quests or lore could significantly improve player investment and enjoyment.

    • “I would also love to see some lore/backstory added for substance, (maybe with progression you get notebooks or scrolls) as this is a Lovecraftian horror-based clicker and without some form of lore aspect it can become rather bland just progressing for the sake of progress alone.”

    • “Fun great ambience plus for any Lovecraft fans; all the minions are from his stories.”
    • “The story is fairly flat, and I wish for more things like the sigils, but more complex.”
