I am writing this under an appreciable mental strain, since by tonight I shall be no more.

The change happened whilst I slept.
Step into the shoes of a former ship officer and morphine fiend, and dive into the Stygian Abyss of a drug-addled mind. Uncover the unspeakable, long-drowned horrors on a distant eldritch island and wallow in Lovecraftian dread.

I think I went mad then.

画面很好很有氛围,虽然感觉还是不能表达出不可名状的压迫,但这种题材确实少,给到一个顶级。
A FANTASTIC short story for anyone wanting to get into, or simply experience Lovecraft in a faithful digital format. One of the best I've seen in a long time.
For fans of Lovecraft, sure. I mean, its VERY short (thats what she said) but its kinda nice ngl.

Very cool narrative experience if you have a genuine love of Lovecraft and cosmic horror, short and sweet with some genuinely unsettling moments and packed with trivia. A nice package especially for free, but if you're looking for something with player agency or any kind of gameplay other than looking for secrets you may be disappointed.
好玩
Es ist ein sehr schönes Erkundungsspiel mit Erzählung.
no agency at all here
很精细的场景演出,自由度不高,就是一部可视化的克系小说,会提供背景信息和解读,赞
Dagon — это интерактивный рассказ, который лучше всего воспринимается как атмосферная адаптация литературы. Если хочется быстро погрузиться в классический лавкрафтовский ужас без сложных механик — это один из лучших вариантов.
Muy entretenido
