Mar 9, 2026If you’re a fan of classic old-school point-and-click adventures, and especially if you enjoy Lovecraftian lore, stories, and settings, this is a game you should absolutely pick up this year. It isn’t perfect and lacks many of the quality-of-life features modern games tend to offer, but it more than makes up for it with atmosphere and charm, delivering a memorable and delightfully spooky ride.

Feb 10, 2026Of course, if the only critique I have about an indie game is "it's very good, but the developer's other works might be better," then we're in a nice position. The Dark Rites of Arkham is Call of Cthulhu in swell point and click form, and it's a solid weekend play for any fan of weird fiction. But perhaps for Postmodern Adventures' next effort, we can push the envelope farther. A tweaked engine, a different graphical style, a non-Eurocentric setting, maybe even a female protagonist? C'mon, let's make old Howard Phillips roll in his grave!
