I'm really lost in it as before! I always enjoy playing retro games and admire developers who insist on creating retro games, always reminding me of old games I played in the past with simple graphics but unique mechanics or stories. There's no doubt that Hagrode II is one of these kinds of retro games with sense of nostalgia which brings me back to past.
Compared to Hagrode, Hagrode II has the more creepy environment design, and I especially love the scary humanoid statues along the way; and with the same weird atmosphere as the Hagrode, it has made extremely obvious progress in transitions and FX, and a very typical Lovecraftian boss is shown in the end. Wandering into a grave and losing himself by the indescribable sounds, I couldn't help thinking of Lovecraft's The Temple. Unfortunately, due to time limit, it seems that Luke didn't have enough time to create a direct link between these two stories, but I definitely look forward to future works in this series, which may be able to form a huge and hauntingly creepy world!
