The feeling of dread of his stories has left an impact on many works, and The Necromancer’s Tale is no exception.

Psychic Software took the tone and style seen in Lovecraft’s works, enhances the overarching story of forbidden knowledge and crumbling sanity. Furthering this tone with an impressive Gothic style. This tone meshes well with the overarching story, coming together into a dark tale of meddling with forbidden forces.
