  • The game features astonishing visuals, impressive art style, and atmospheric music and sound effects that enhance the horror-themed storytelling.
  • The story is captivating, well-written with references to Edgar Allan Poe's works, and emotionally engaging for fans of dark narratives.
  • The interface is intuitive and includes chapter points with the option to pause, providing a smooth visual novel experience.
  • The game lacks meaningful interactivity and branching choices, feeling more like a linear visual novel or interactive story rather than a true game.
  • The progression system is hindered by long wait times between episodes and intrusive ads, which frustrate players and disrupt immersion.
  • Some players find the story's pacing abrupt or confusing with loose plot threads, and the absence of a more varied language support limits accessibility.
  • story
    43 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally praised for its dark, eerie, and captivating narrative true to Poe's style, with compelling horror elements and immersive sound effects enhancing the experience. However, critics note that the storytelling can feel rushed or disjointed, with minimal player choice and occasional plot loose ends, making it more of a passive visual novel than an interactive game. Some users find the pacing and wait times frustrating, though the story remains the main draw that keeps players engaged.

    • “Another incredible Mazm book with a compelling, lengthy story about the fall of the House of Usher with elements of Poe's other works.”
    • “I love this so muchhhhh—the storytelling, the backstory, the horror—everything is so perfect.”
    • “Honestly, it was a really decent story that captured my attention and I didn't want it to end.”
    • “Cons: it's a bland visual novel with options that are the same thing said in a different way. The fact that I have to wait 3 to 17 minutes for one episode is insane, and the ending was rushed (typical of MazM games). It didn't explain what happened to Roddy and Nevin that night. Overall bad game and seeing their recent games, they're not worth it.”
    • “I did not like the way the story was written, as there was a lack of sequence of events, random dialogues, and illogical escalation, but it was a good story experience and an enjoyable visual experience with amazing sound effects.”
    • “The art style has become so much more generic and boring, the "game" has no actual game mechanics, the story writing is bland - I'm honestly really disappointed.”
  • graphics
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • monetization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users express strong frustration with the monetization model, feeling misled by free access that quickly requires payments to progress and is compounded by intrusive ads, resulting in a negative perception of the game's value.

    • “I feel cheated after I worked hard to download it for free and then found out that I have to pay to move from one level to another and even the ads option is annoying.”

    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Users find the game emotionally impactful, appreciating its nostalgic setting and touching storyline about illness and loss. The art style and atmosphere evoke a sense of sadness and curiosity, creating a memorable and heartfelt experience.

    • “Hallo hehe I'm the first one to download this and this game's cool. I like the art style. Seeing them, the only ushers left is sad :( I love how this takes place back then when people couldn't find a cure to their sickness. I was curious about this game and finding out I was the first one to download it made me feel happy :)”
    • “Amazing and touching the nerves game.”
