About

Greatmaw Island. A mysterious place miles off the shore of an old city, where new minds gather to aid Doctor Morose in his experiments for the good of mankind. Aspiring young scientists Howard and Philip were as close as friends could be...until the Doctor rejected Howard's application, and accepted Philip's. As the days without Philip go by, rumors circulate that something really bad is happening on Greatmaw Island, and that Doctor Morose is behind it. Desperate for answers and looking to reconcile with his former friend, Howard must go alone to the island of Doctor Morose in search of Philip, but is he ready for what he'll find there?
More importantly, will Howard be able to rescue his friend from the mad doctor's clutches before it's too late?

Great game with an interesting story and wonderful visuals! Can't wait for the next update!
it was peak
Game is a very cool horror point and click adventure with a great art style that puts a dark twist on the work of Doctor Seuss, or... is it a more cartoony twist on the dark world of H.P. Lovecraft? The gameplay is very solid though takes a bit of getting used to. Characters are all some form of mysterious and interesting or charming and fun. The continuous rhymes and dialogue are an impressive and very well done aspect of the game as well. The world of Seussian-Eldritch beings and mad science monsters is so incredibly fascinating that I hunger for more from this universe and hope to see more from it in the future in one way or another. Functionally there is the occasional glitch but the developers have been doing a very good job of touching things up, fixing things, and adding to the game after release. So if it's not to your personal liking as it is right now I'd say consider coming back later and giving it another shot then. Game is not at all system intensive so you don't need an expensive gaming PC to play which is always good. Menus are also easy and clear to navigate though things like the collectable text entries could use a "New"/"Unread" icon next to them when you first add them to your inventory. The instrument based text voices are very charming, and the voice acting as very well done. Especially the guy who plays Doctor Morose himself, I bet that guy is so cool and really hot in real life. I have absolutely 0 bias when it comes to this specific opinion... Definitely an amazing labor of love by some passionate people, and pretty solid for their studio's first published game. Would definitely recommend it for any horror gaming fan, especially any looking for something that really deviates from what you tend to see dominate the market these days.

I need Phillip so bad it's insane GOD Anyways I really like this game, haven't beaten it a single time yet but, I really enjoy it! Recommend it to anyone who likes screaming over getting killed by the same monster 20 times in a row, or for people who have a few bucks to spare and want to try a new game!!
just bought this game to try it out and you try it without a doubt. I'm having a great time with it charming art, its obvious it came from the heart. Though as you may see that's not all that be. As this game has a grim twist you may of missed. From horrors and gore to things unknown and many more. oh look at the time it seems I should end this rhyme. As this bit is making my brain quit
i been loving everything of this game for the few hours i had played so far,though i have noticed that 85% of the areas render or run for me with very little issues and certain spots like the statue room or samantha's space only load in halfway or not at all with howard's ui/oil supply unaffected regardless of this.i definitely recommend that everyone check out this game at least once even if not a huge horror fan and suggest it to others
I love this game!!! I recommend playing this game it was fun and I love everything about it!!! ^^
Despite not being much of a horror or puzzle game fan, I tried this game out after watching a bit of a play-through on it. This is by far one of the best games I've played and enjoyed, and it's so easy to tell how much effort and creativity was put into the project. If you're looking at the reviews and wondering if you should get it, I absolutely recommend you do, especially for the price it's at-the game is more than worth its price.
me like :3
It's just absolutely peak in some of the greatest ways possible.
