About Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft
Follow and Wishlist our collection of weird fiction and cosmic horror stories:I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more.
Dagon is a 3D narrative experience in madness based on the cult short story of the same title by the master of cosmic horror and weird fiction, H. P. Lovecraft himself. It’s an interactive portal into the world of the controversial genius and his highly acclaimed Cthulhu Mythos, open to both newcomers and long-time devotees.

The change happened whilst I slept.
Step into the shoes of a former ship officer and morphine fiend, and dive into the Stygian Abyss of a drug-addled mind. Uncover the unspeakable, long-drowned horrors on a distant eldritch island and wallow in Lovecraftian dread.
I think I went mad then.
So make yourself comfortable in front of the screen or put on your VR headset, and experience cosmic horror first-hand in this 100% faithful adaptation of the original story. It will only take about 30 minutes, but you may never look at the ocean the same way.

Knowing little about Lovecraft, this was a enjoyable and informative 30-minute horror story. The story itself is interspersed with interesting information about Lovecraft, including several quote on a variety of topics. For low price of free, you can't go wrong. If you hate jump scares, you won't find them here. Just existential terror.1 found this helpful
I was super disappointed on this game. It tells a story, meant to capture the amazing atmosphere of H.P. Lovecraft's stories, but fails gravely at this. The story telling is boring, the visuals are not appealing and the story is super short. Only thing this game has going for it, is an easy 100%
I like this form of interactive audiobook for short stories. The narration was great, and the visuals were quite well-done. I feel like a story based on unimaginable horror being... imaginable... kind of takes away from it, though. Still, being able to visualize the madness-inducing scenery and events is a cool experience.
Very cool narrative experience if you have a genuine love of Lovecraft and cosmic horror, short and sweet with some genuinely unsettling moments and packed with trivia. A nice package especially for free, but if you're looking for something with player agency or any kind of gameplay other than looking for secrets you may be disappointed.
no agency at all here
These types of games are not games. They are strange ways to tell a story without any interaction. Just make short films. Don't make a game that someone might expect to be able to play.
