Great game and IMO a good take on Lovecraft!

2-27-26 game was better when I was younger.. time changes things. Interesting game for sure.

mehhh, first game was infinitely better. Wasn't a fan of the direction this game went, also not a fan of the 3d they use in this vs the 2d almost myst like movement in the last game.
