About this game

As a private detective in the backwater town of Logslow, you are no stranger to unexplained occurrences. However, when you wake up to discover that your wife has vanished off the face of the earth, you must embark on your most personal investigation to date.

You quickly discover that your wife’s mysterious disappearance may go much deeper than a simple abduction. Against a black winter night, you venture across Logslow’s bleak and desolate landscape in search of answers.

Through defiled cemeteries and abandoned buildings, downtrodden streets and prison cells, you uncover sights horrific enough to disturb even the most hardened detective. Bodies fall into your lap, all of which hint at a reality too harrowing to comprehend.

As you find yourself drawn into a world of occult rites and esoteric underground cults, bizarre visions and hallucinations blur the line between reality and illusion. You must question everything and everyone on your journey towards the truth.

Ratings and reviews

Really enjoying this so far, happy to pay just a dollar. I've played all of this developers previous games too and this is a really nice turn to see the sound and the choices presented and the sanity meter, just the right touch. gorgeous art, too, and lascivious descriptions of gore.... I love these simple text-based horror games. I find the choices a little limited and miss environment interaction and objects, though I appreciate this dive into a different style.

Though the look of this game is an improvement on previous releases, I prefer the mechanics of the earlier games - this one feels more like those old 'choose your own adventure' books, whereas the others feel more like old text adventures, and I find the greater freedom of movement offers a more enjoyable experience, regardless of the aesthetics. If the new look were to be applied to the more interactive mechanics, that would be great.

Had a good time playing although not quite on the excellent level of the old series. Certainly a solid Gothic detective story although I did miss the underlying humour that punctuated the earlier games. Probably the one thing missing was that it often felt like the player's choices didn't meaningfully affect the outcome (e.g. Choose option A, or choose B and get directed back to A) which detracted a bit from the replay value. Would love to see future releases with more varied storylines!
