Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
51 of 142 sampled reviews raised it
PsychoDev creates a convincing marriage between investigation-driven gameplay and a narrative where uncovering the truth becomes increasingly dangerous, while AtomicHorde's published release preserves the unapologetically retro character of the project.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 142 sampled reviews raised it
I really liked the look of the game, the voice-acting was fun, the atmosphere of Innsmouth disturbing, and the puzzles were almost never too hard - I say almost because of the lighthouse section, that one infuriated me...
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
25 of 142 sampled reviews raised it
This setup is particularly well suited to a point-and-click adventure because discovering information becomes the central source of progression.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
22 of 142 sampled reviews raised it
Visually, one cannot help but think that this could actually be an original LucasArts game, featuring the exact same pixelated art style like many of the classics and a UI that most closely resembles that of Monkey Island 1&2 and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
15 of 142 sampled reviews raised it
The initial 90% of the game features some clever if easy to follow puzzles, leading up to a rousing, tension-filled escape scene.
