About
Working as a paranormal investigator means you have never had a shortage of strange clientele. But this letter and the page accompanying it have begun to erode your sanity and you have been possessed with a desperate need to investigate its origin.
Eldritch Archives is a short horror game where you take the role of an investigator that has answered the call of a concerned client. You arrive at their home and must attempt to ward against the forces that inhabit it.
You can interact with, pick up and throw a variety of items and use them to help you ward against the evil forces.
You have a trusty detector that will help you find and deal with objects that emit dark energies.
There are mystical pages in hidden places that will unravel the true nature of the events that unfold. Collecting them all may lead you to discover something of real supernatural significance.
During your investigations there are a number of stories to tell... some have more grisly fates than others.
Good luck.

Spooky =)
Really cool and spooky lovecraftian horror game :)
Приключенческая RPG с элементами хоррора в духе лавкрафтовских мифов: игрок исследует таинственную библиотеку с древними текстами, разгадывает загадки, сталкивается с потусторонними сущностями и пытается сохранить рассудок. Акцент на атмосфере, нарративе и постепенном раскрытии тайн. Плюсы: Атмосферность и сеттинг — мрачная библиотека с древними фолиантами, скрипучими лестницами и тенями создаёт гнетущее настроение, погружая в мир мистики и неизвестности; Глубокий нарратив — история раскрывается через записи, книги и обрывки знаний; каждое открытие влияет на понимание происходящего и усиливает интригу; Механика рассудка — взаимодействие с запретными знаниями постепенно снижает уровень рассудка персонажа, меняя восприятие окружения и геймплей (галлюцинации, искажения интерфейса). Минусы: Сложные головоломки — некоторые загадки требуют не только логики, но и поиска внешних подсказок или многократных проб, что может остановить прогресс на долгое время; Медленный темп — игра намеренно нетороплива: много чтения, исследования и мало экшена, что не подойдёт любителям динамичного геймплея; Ограниченная боевая система — столкновения с сущностями редки, а механика боя упрощена; упор на избегание и скрытность может показаться однообразным тем, кто ждёт активных сражений. Итог: подойдёт поклонникам хорроров, лавкрафтовской эстетики и нарративных RPG — впечатляет атмосферой библиотеки запретных знаний, интригующим сюжетом и оригинальной механикой рассудка. Может разочаровать из‑за сложных головоломок, неспешности и слабой проработки боевой системы.

I really liked the presentation, it was cute, yet still had a sinister feel to it. Honestly, it was a fairly average horror walking simulator, run around a spooky cabin and woods with a flashlight while completing your tasks and collecting pages. Yes, pages, but don't worry, this isn't a slender game. O.k., it sort of is later, briefly, but that's not what this game is all about. One of the endings (Cosmic) made me smile, I do love me some cosmic horror. If you have a half hour to an hour, and want a kind-of-cute-but-not-really spooky scawey time, check this one out.
Непоганий жахастик. Не встигає набриднути, але непогано діє своєю атмосферою
