I can only repeat what Jim Sterling said : i should dislike this game, but I really cant. I enjoy playing it much more than average AA and AAA game despite how much of a failure it is on so many levels.
reminder that if you're going to buy this game on PC, get it DRM-free from Gamesplanet instead of on Steam because Bigben/Nacon can fuck off into oblivion (and the current version they have on Steam is basically pirated)
Better than Call of Cthulhu (2018) by a long shot. The choices are really fleshed out and even though the graphics and textures are not impressive, I dug the design of the world and characters. It feels like Lovecraft and even somehow "gets" what his stories are about. The mid gameplay, however, lets it down quite a bit. It's just not fun to play.
Three cases so far (I'm playing this one with my friends on weekends) and it's definitely underappreciated. It nails the Lovecraftian atmosphere, decisions are interesting and Charles Reed is a cool main character.
