In the genre of pixel puzzle point & click cosmic horror games set in Victorian/Edwardian Britain, this one is pretty good but still not as good as Thomasina Bateman's attempt to excavate Hob's Barrow, in my opinion. The story is definitely creepy and had moments where my hair stood on end but its let down somewhat by being so surreal that the horror feels less present. Also, as pixel games go, this one is pretty heavily pixelated for a 2014 game.

It worked well on my Deck. It did crash twice but not in the same place.

It's certainly worth picking up if you want a creepy horror puzzle story.

Just did another replay, and… it’s decent. Honestly on a second playthrough the story doesn’t hit as hard and the gameplay especially is pretty mediocre. Not any amazing puzzles or anything. Kind of sparse as far as gameplay goes. Still a decent and unique point and click with a haunting story - just not as good as games like Nightmare Frames.

Just replayed this, and it is so impressive how this game sets up a brooding atmosphere with genuine scares using pixel art. It is a very cozy game to play with many moments of surprise and an intriguing story.

I did get a bit lost on the story in the second half, but after playing Blasphemous, I was already expecting vague thematic writing from the developers. That would be my only criticism, because the story was so captivating at the beginning, I really wanted to see where it was going rather than getting lost in Lynchian abstraction.

Still, it retained great puzzles, with only a couple moon logic moments. The art is amazing, only overshadowed by Blasphemous. And the atmosphere is expertly crafted, from beginning to end.
