Creepy, OK story, works well on Steam Deck
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 …
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.
