So many people are using words like "Lovecraft", "Cthulhu" and "Dagon" in their games in the hope of appealing to an already existing fan base. Fans of Lovecraft's writing may purchase this game for a rich narrative experience in the form of a comic with a few interesting narrative based puzzles or decisions. Watch, as your preconceived expectations are strangled to death in front of you by the hands of a smiling developer oblivious (or perhaps not) of their own wrong doing. I didn't know what to expect for a couple of bucks, but Dev's, don't think for a SECOND that two bullets will down Dagon or that having Cthulhu show up in your game makes it a "Lovecraftian experience". Like a scared anime girl with a short skirt and no knickers I expected to enter into a room filled with hundreds of pulsating flailing tendrils, which I did at first... I then later realised the tendrils were all blushing and turning away from me shyly. I got hot, angry, flustered and could have easily stormed out i...

About This Game

Lovecraft Quest is a special mix of a game and interactive comics based on stories by Howard Phillips Lovecraft - a recognized master of the horror genre. You are to investigate and reveal the mystery of the Temple of Nameless Cults that was built at the dawn of time for worshiping Other Gods. You have to avoid traps, solve puzzles and react very fast fleeing from Lovecraftian horrors which fill the labyrinth of that Temple. You’ll meet the lord of the Deep Ones - Dagon, the servant of the Ancients - Shoggoth and, perhaps, Cthulhu himself! The plot twists, life and common sense of the main character depend completely on your decisions.
🐙A UNIQUE COMICS STYLE
Imagine that you are reading exciting colorful comics. Yet, unlike typical comics, there are a lot of interactive elements in the game - puzzles, alternative endings and inbuilt mini-games. Every scene is drawn by hand with great attention to details and respect to H.P. Lovecraft's works in order to convey the original style of his stories in the best possible way. Minimalistic interface, also in comics style, lets you dive into mysterious atmosphere of ancient dungeons and fully enjoy the story told in the game.🐙EXCITING ADVENTURE
After a shipwreck you find yourself on an island, lost in the endless ocean. The only passage from the bay where you came to your senses, looks extremely ancient and full of hidden threat. This is an entrance to the dungeons of the Temple of Nameless Cults. What terrible secrets and beasts are hidden in the labyrinths of this Temple and where careless curiosity can lead - you are to find it all in a captivating comics story.🐙AMAZING MINI-GAMES
In Lovecraft Quest there are both classic puzzles in style of the good old 2D point-and-click quests and reaction mini-games. Real adrenaline rush is waiting for you in the dynamic scenes where you should decide quickly and choose the appropriate variant of your actions. For example, when you meet one of the beasts dwelling in the dungeons of the Temple, you may try to escape it, choosing the correct door in limited time.🐙MULTIPLE ENDINGS
The game includes six different ending variants. In best Lovecraft's traditions almost all of them are this or that variant of the main character's death. Be careful with your decisions as the Temple of Nameless Cults is full of deathly traps! Each careless step may become the last one. Still, you can try to find out all the variants of your hero's doom - everything is in your hands!🐙RANDOM ELEMENT
To make your game experience unique, Lovecraft Quest widely uses random events and procedural generation - while creating labyrinths, for example.🐙COLLECTION OBJECTS
In some rooms of the Temple you may find artifacts - things from the Lovecraft's stories, such as Necronomicon, a legendary book written by a crazy alchemist and necromancer Abdul Alhazred. This book describes the story of the Ancients - extremely powerful creatures, dwelling beyond the borders of our dimension - and the magical rituals that can invoke them. The legend tells that the original book was irretrievably lost, and that the last of the remaining copies is kept in the library of Miskatonic University, located in the town of Arkham. You may try to find all artifacts and to learn the story of the each.Screenshots
User Reviews
Short, but refreshingly unique. Very Lovecraftian. Due to cheap price there's very little reasons to skip this game. If you are looking for Lovecraftian games, give this a moment. If you are looking for puzzles games, give this a try. If you are interested in comics, this is an interesting interactive comics. It has very little replay value or depth, but so does have a cup of coffee.
Competent art, absolutely brain dead gameplay. Basically, you stumble in a maze full of insta-death traps, and everything is decided randomly. There is not much more to say, since there is really not much the game offers.

Choose your own adventure style comic. HP Lovecraft inspired. Some of the deaths seem fairly arbitrary but are in line with other CYOA games. Well priced for what it is. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at-M7F_ORh8
Not a bad little game. I enjoyed it a lot, and love the unique art style. I enjoyed that there were multiple endings. Finding all the artifacts was a bit of a struggle, but it at least doesn't take that much time to find them all! A complete run is also very quick once you know what you're doing and what you need to dodge. The price of the game is also pretty spot on, but I would def recommend getting it on sale if you're not into achievements as it doesn't take very long to get all endings and beat the game.
Super short game (took less than 1 hour to finish it) which doesn't have enough content (story or gameplay). Nice art but that's not enough to be a game. Looks more like a demo/pitch
[h1]follow my curator page [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/33882793/]GenXPlayers[/url] for more retro and indie reviews[/h1] Really short game, it's just a handful of logical puzzles. Most of which are not really fun. The map navigation can be fun, but why on earth don't they give you the map from the start? you have to find it by luck, which is not very fair. Once you got the map the maze navigation becomes interesting. Unfortunately, once you've solved two levels and a half the game is already over. The last puzzle is just annoying. It's a pity as some of the graphic animations looked nice.
Becomes quickly repetitive and boring.

First we thought it was WAY too difficult, but once the elements started to come together, we found it really rewarding. Interesting navigation, neat randomization, and puzzles that are far from hard but don't feel too tedious. We're looking at you, slide puzzle! Would recommend as a PC or mobile game.
