Chronicle of Innsmouth

There's some puzzles in this that just broke me. The lighthouse being the most obvious one. Keep telling me it's timing, it just won't work. I really wanted to like this game, believe me.

A great point-and-click adventure, especially if you're a fan of the old-school genre. I loved all the nods to classic games like Monkey Island—the protagonist even bears a striking resemblance to Guybrush. The team behind the game did an excellent job crafting a richly atmospheric world that pulls you right in. The voice acting and music are also great. That said, it's a bit on the short side. There are areas in the game—like the church—that seemed ripe for exploration but were sadly left unused. It felt like there was potential for much more. Still, I loved the many ways you could die, especially toward the end. It brought back memories of Shadow of the Comet in the best way. As a Lovecraft enthusiast, I really recommend this gem. Looking forward to play the sequel.
