Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
34 of 66 sampled reviews raised it
The mythology gradually becomes denser as the investigation progresses, and the connections among Carter, Alhazred, Lovecraft, mysterious bloodlines, forbidden knowledge, and events occurring across different eras create a surprisingly substantial narrative framework.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
17 of 66 sampled reviews raised it
Awesome sequel to the first game, with significantly improved graphics and much more detailed animations.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
12 of 66 sampled reviews raised it
"Mountains of Madness" is an atmospheric, compact and overall polished point and click adventure, who gives its own due homage to the source material and its gameplay-wise inspirations (Lucas Arts adventure games, especially "Fate of Atlantis"), while keeping its own strong autonomy and dignity.
Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
6 of 66 sampled reviews raised it
English includes full audio alongside interface and subtitle support, while Italian, German, Spanish from Spain, and French are available for interface text and subtitles.
