    The Occultist is a great investigate horror game featuring a compelling narrative and well designed puzzles. With some excellent writing and voice acting, I was hooked in to play through its modest runtime in two sittings. With a debut game like this, I’m excited to see what will come next from Daloar.

    The game does a good job of creating a dark and mystical atmosphere. The story is good enough to keep you wanting to continue uncovering the secrets of Goldstone Island. However, the game doesn't really make you feel scared or have to fight for survival.

    The Occultist is a relatively short, but very varied haunted castle ride through almost every horror cliché you can imagine. It enough earnest effort and atmosphere to make the journey worthwhile, even if neither the stealth nor the puzzles really live up to their potential.
