I played the demo last night, and I can already feel the tension building in every choice I make. I love how the game doesn’t just throw monsters at you—it makes you feel like you’re slowly becoming one. The dialogue is very well written, and I really appreciate how my choices seem to matter. I convinced one character to join me with words alone, and it felt satisfying. The 18th-century Italian setting also adds a new flavor that I haven’t seen before in games like this. I hope the full version expands on the political side of things too, not just magic and horror.

I don’t usually like turn-based combat, but I like that this game has an auto-resolve mode. That way I can just enjoy the story. The necromancer theme interests me because I’m tired of being the hero in every game. Sometimes I want to play someone who’s in the gray area. I think the setting and the Gothic look of it make it more interesting than just another fantasy RPG.

This reminds me of the tabletop campaigns I used to play with my group, but now it's in game form. I already pre-ordered it because I trust Psychic Software. The trailer had this slow, creepy pace that fits the Lovecraft theme perfectly. I like how they didn’t overdo the horror with jumpscares. It’s more about the feeling of something wrong hiding behind your daily life. The idea of building alliances and manipulating people makes it more than just a monster game. It becomes personal. I hope the branching dialogues go deep enough to support replaying it multiple times.

I think Lovecraft is overused in games, but this one seems like it understands the source better. It’s not just tentacles and madness. It’s about losing your identity while gaining power. I respect that. The noble background for the main character adds a layer I didn’t expect. There’s something poetic about a wealthy person choosing darkness. It makes you think about what people are willing to trade for control.
