A Lovecraftian comedy, this is quite original !
I've played 1h30 and I'm liking it quite much.
Puzzles are simple so far but I can't help noticing an excellent use of music.

Bonus, because Lovecraft+music : good unrelated surf song by The Arkhams, an american psychobilly band https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qRSWcyfXlNU

What didn't you bear ? It's very cheap, so I tend to be quite forgiving.
I'm quite fed up with Lovecraft ill-inspired dark teenage angst and non-euclidean bullshit, so I found this refreshing.

i am really enjoying this so far. not bad for the price. it is charming, and feels creepy, but it's not without humor too. some moments made me chuckle and the atmosphere is really good. the puzzles are albeit a bit on the easy side most of the time, but still fun to play and some are pretty clever and few annoying ones. the bus to arkham just left and i am taking a short break and will continue playing while eating lunch later.

finished it. it's pretty short and the end is pretty meh to me. bunch of QTE sequences, and mck up stealth sequences. the one where you escape from the hotel is an interesting puzzle, but everything after that are just lame, even the final lock puzzle doesn't really make sense as a puzzle. you just input what you can see on the paper to the panel.

shame, because i found the beginning trough near end was comfy. it's good for what it is and considering the production value, that kind of limitation is understandable. could be more though if the dev had proper budget.

As backer I got a Steam key for this, but I have the game already (which is why I backed the sequel to begin with) and no monocled real-life friends to gift my extra key to.
Any esteemed codexer interested ?

If no one else steps forward, I am always up for a decent point and click adventure.

Got it for 5$ on the last sale. It is very comfy 90s adventure style. Seems like the sequel will be delayed until summer thanks to COVID.
