There are minor animations on screen and once in a while a startling sound may jump out depending on your action, but it is quite reading intensive with little in the way of stimulating the other senses. Having said that, it is a shame the game does not feature voice acting. The writing for the game is quite superb, thankfully not attempting to emulate the style of Lovecraft himself who was rather advanced in his prose, but instead makes for an easy and manageable read that lets the story flow nicely.

Each time I died I found myself excited to try a different narrative branch in the hopes of a less lethal outcome. This interspersed use of humor takes some of the tension out of the horror but it also keeps you surprisingly engaged. After dying a few times you start to grasp the scope of how vast the game actually is, as arriving in Innsmouth gives you three possible locations to start exploring and each one branches to an incredible degree.ĭespite being based on the iconic Cosmic Horror genre, the game offers plenty of humor in the protagonists actions and internal monologue.

I would love to discuss some of the more elaborate and humorous ends I met in the game, but I wouldn’t want to spoil the fun and insanity this game offers. The Innsmouth Case features 27 possible endings to come across and loads of ways to meet each grizzly end. It’s a simple point-and-click text adventure that leaves you with little to do but read the tale and make your choice, yet more often than not these choices will lead to a strange and unfortunate demise. The protagonist himself notes that meeting with the mysterious woman feels like something out of an old noir film, yet he frequently mentions some of the pleasures of modern life which – should you find your mindset stuck in the roaring 20s – will snap you back to reality.
