Conarium is a chilling Lovecraftian game, which follows a gripping story involving four scientists and their endeavor to challenge what we normally consider to be the ‘absolute’ limits of nature. Inspired by H.P. Lovecraft’s novella "At the Mountains of Madness", but largely set after the original story. You, as Frank Gilman, open your eyes inside a room filled with strange, pulsating noises. Patterns of lights executing a Danse Macabre on the walls is presented by a queer device on the table. Having recalled nothing other than that you’re in Upuaut, an Antarctic base located near south pole, you find the place deserted and have a distinct feeling of something being terribly wrong. Somehow knowing that your memories cannot guide you enforces a strange feeling of vulnerability, a familiar yet alien sensation of being a part of a peculiar whole... Soon you will discover that having used the device during the expedition, you have died but then returned subtly changed, speaking of strange memories and of strange places. You have lost something important or gained something sinister... Explore the antarctic base, as well as dreams and visions. Study clues, unlock secrets but avoid macabre beings at all cost.

Extremely forgettable, and doesn't do much with the Lovecraft formula. Writing is amateurish and the voice acting is...OK? It's a walking simulator with some light puzzles, but sometimes the sequencing gets in the way. Got stuck a couple times because it just wasn't clear, and there's not enough to explore to make the downtime interesting. There's also a super frustrating …

It's a walking simulator with some light puzzles, but sometimes the sequencing gets in the way. Got stuck a couple times because it just wasn't clear, and there's not enough to explore to make the downtime interesting. There's also a super frustrating chase scene later in the game that was a real bummer.

I managed to finish it, the puzzles were a bit difficult for me. I enjoyed the game. It felt OK, kind of like a really awesome low budget Indie game which I imagine it was. I got it for free from the Epic store.
