Chronicle of Innsmouth: Mountains of Madness

Neither story nor gameplay are particularly interesting. Too many infodumps and all the interesting parts are happening in the cutscenes. Also the dialogues which take a large part of the game are not the best.

I, like most of the other players of this game, was unable to continue playing as I could only hear audio near the beginning of the same, while seeing a black screen. Three years after the release of this game, and the developer still has not fixed the issue. I have uninstalled the game and will want a refund.

This is the first game that I've ever decided to refund here. Thankfully, the steam support approved my refund request really quick. I am a big Lovecraft fan and I am really into Point-and-Click games. However, this game is unplayable for me since right after finishing the tutorial [spoiler] and getting into that cave [/spoiler] the screen just turns black. The sound is still on and I can hear characters talking, so the game is still running. But I can't do anything due to the black screen and I had to use the task manager to close it. I've tried twice and it was the same result. As it turns out, this issue has been encountered by many other players as shown in the Bugs & Tech issues thread in the steam discussion section. It looks like the Developer was aware of this issue but it never got fixed after all these years. I guess this game doesn't run well with AMD or something. In addition, I just wanted to point out the voice acting was kinda awful and robotic, which really took me out of it during the short time that I was able to play the game (i.e. the tutorial).

I also have the black screen issue. Unplayable.

Прошел во второй раз. Конечно же, во второй раз эффект слабее , но игра все равно хорошая. Рекомендую всем. Достоинства: +Сюжет +Атмосфера +музыка +графон приятный, будто бы в игры от поздних Sierra играю. Из минусов: - Перегруженность. Будто бы слишком много всего. Постарались вбухать все возможное ,что касается Лавкрафта. Это не плохо само по себе , но первая часть ощущалась целостнее , т.к. была основана только по "Тени над Инсмутом". (-Пилить игру всегда тяжело , особенно в 1 лицо , поэтому про качество анимаций не спрашиваем, но выйди такое сейчас- словил бы обвинение в ИИ. )

This is bad. Far worse than its predecessor. It is technically glitchy (trying to run the game in full-screen forced me to restart my system a couple of times), the art is bad, the animations and perspective are bad. The story is bad, leaping you around between characters willy-nilly with no payoff, and there is a tremendous amount of straight info-dumping. The voice-acting is bad, with actors messing up the inflection of basic idioms, mispronouncing names of places, and no characters ever seem to be credibly speaking to each other. Dull, nonsensical, and it might bork your video card.

Отличное завершение истории получившей начало в[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/420180/Chronicle_of_Innsmouth/] Chronicle of Innsmouth [/url]! Игра приобрела в динамике повествования и в визуальном исполнении (хотя это просто разные визуальные стили, но всё равно важно подметить что в этой части визуальный стиль более богатый на детали) и малость потеряла в логичности задачек (в 1 части "затупов" было в разы меньше) и отполированности. В игре присутствуют вылеты при любых манипуляциях со сворачиванием игры, а так же не исправляемый курсор мыши, который висит по центру экрана, но это недостатки с которыми МОЖНО мириться учитывая качество наполнения и бюджетность игры, так что смело могу рекомендовать любителям квестов и лавкрафтианского сеттинга, игра более чем следует канонам! Итог - 7.5/10

Technically speaking, a significant improvement over the previous title: polished visuals, exciting new locations, more characters, interesting puzzles, deeper diving into the Lovecraftian mythos. Definitely a decent and enjoyable adventure game, with some lovely story moments and memorable art. However, the game falls a bit short when it comes to exposition and pacing. Slow dialogs here and there, unnecessary character interactions often burdened by inconsistent voice acting. The story tries to fit everything Lovecraftian into a common narrative and sometimes lacks in substance. Overall, happily recommended for Lovecraft fans out there and definitely for hardcore point-and-click enthusiasts.
