I really enjoyed this game! The music and sound effects really added to the atmosphere and did a fantastic job at creating immersion. The swamp was especially well done.
I liked the art style as well.
In general, I really liked the writing. The ending was executed very well, but I'm not entirely sure I love how Randolph and Warren were written out? I originally thought their tapes were recorded as a personal journal, but then I realized some tapes were conversations or interogations. The very last tape was written out really well, but the interogation tapes felt like they needed a different direction. I've worked around booking halls and other places where real life people in crisis might talk to themselves, and even someone who isn't quite in their right mind doesn't talk like a narrator. They speak more like they believe in what they see, versus just describing what they see. The use of descriptive language in each of the tapes was excellent though. I'd definitely recommend that people play this game and check it out!

Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed the game. The dialogue of Randolph Carter and Harley Warren in the tapes are actually lines from the short story of H.P Lovecraft. I thought it would be fun to have these exact lines turned into tapes. We'll definitely look into how interrogation tapes should be like. Really appreciate it
