To solve the enigmatic disappearance of little Tabitha Marsh, however, the toughest and cleverest detective of all is wanted... but he does not have the time - and so the job goes to you. This mysterious assignment takes you to the remote fishing village of Innsmouth, where nothing is what it seems…

This isn't really a game. It's a chose your own adventure story. It takes about 30 minutes to read it. There's nothing really imaginative about it. You'd be better off just reading the original story by H.P. Lovecraft.

Far too short for me to really enjoy and I don't really want to go through the story a dozen times doing weird or silly stuff to unlock every ending.

[h2]Review after 100% :[/h2] Innsmouth Case is pretty interesting short comedic choose-your-adventure story with lovecraft theme, with more emphasise on comedy and less on lovecraft horror stuff (that many would assume to be the case, considering the game title). The actual game is pretty short per run, but it took awhile if you want to see every ending just like me. Especially due to how the chapter are designed and how you are only able to reload from handful of checkpoint. Despite several weird things (not horror kind of weird), its still enjoyable and fun overall, as long as you dont come expecting an actual lovecraftian lvl of horror experience. [spoiler] Its kinda funny that the actual best ending (imo, at least) is the one where we switch soul with a yith for 6 years and got our career carried in life by it. [/spoiler]

I really wanted to like this game as it checks all the boxes for the styles I normally like, but the dialogue was just so silly and did not work with the theme for me.
