Kult of Ktulu: Olympic

Although only a minor portion of the 'choices' you make actually have an impact on how the story plays out (and not a single decision in the first few chapters at all as far as I can tell!), this interactive ~300 page story is nevertheless interesting and quite well written. I wish it had fewer characters though, most of them have no meaningful role to play at all and it feels like wasted potential to give them elaborate backstories only to then completely ignore most of them in the actual plot.

Developed by Grand Cauldron and published by Morrigan Games, Kult of Ktulu: Olympic is a narrative-driven horror adventure that combines interactive fiction with point-and-click exploration to tell an unsettling tale inspired by cosmic horror. Set aboard the historic RMS Olympic during its transatlantic voyage, the game takes a fascinating historical setting and gradually twists it into a stage for supernatural intrigue.

Se eu quisesse ler, comprava um livro. Lá para o raio do jogo...

This is a really great game... At first I was little offset, but now I have finished one ending (a bad one no doubt) and I was thrilled till the end... actually so thrilled that I hope to reach the other ending somehow... Highly recommendable!

I went into this game blind. I love it! Alt history, time travel, lovecraftian horror! Oh my!

Awesome interactive lovecraftian story based on decision making with several endings and a lot of thought about mysticism or rather occultism. Without spoilers - a truely beautifully written adventure evoking "Call of Cthulhu" settings with all its hints, twists, used sujets (if you recognize them), but without RPG elements. Instead, you can go back in time and reconsider every decision. Making notes (page number for interesting desicion) were useful to me, but unnecessary and for most people probably exaggerated.
