    Indie reveals a great passion for Lovecraftian imagery, but unfortunately fails to pay homage to it to its full potential.

    For a game which is essentially a book, it had too many typographical errors. I could not go on playing.

I swear, the way these people talk you'd think Lovecraft had slaves in the basement which he whipped every day while wearing a klan mask. Developers, SHUT THE FK UP.
