My favorite game of 2025, it was a real surprise, I started it because the mystery theme in a Lovecraft-type city caught my attention but I didn't expect that I would like it so much. Let's start with the least cool thing, which is clearly the combat section, although I must say that I personally didn't dislike it that much, but you can tell that it's not as well polished as the rest of the game, it's a little slow and leaves you feeling quite sold out so I would put in some way to dodge. On the other hand, I loved the story, with each mission completed I just wanted to know what happened in the next one, even the secondary ones and the most repetitive cases have their interest in completing them all. The investigation, on the other hand, is also very good with the possibility of finding clues and evidence in the scenario and being able to put them together and draw conclusions in your palace, make important decisions and achieve the ending that you have been given even if you can later achieve them all.
It has good potential but the mechanics are very bad. The graphics look old. The travelling part is long and boring. In this game, only the detective parts and atmosphere are good, others not so much. Do yourself a favor and save your money or get Call of Cthulhu DCotE instead.
