The exact failures of other adaptions is a story for another time. Suffice to say that after searching through the existing works I have found few that lived up to my enjoyment of the original works. After playing 'The Whisperer in Darkness' I'm sad to say, my search continues.If you have read the original story, this is not the game for you. It adds little to what is already there, save a few interesting visuals, which would have had more impact if not for the strange mesh of styles throughout the game. I hesitate to even call it a game, really. With the exception of a few short episodes there is hardly an interactive element, and those elements mostly consist of walking from one room to another. That's not to say that this was an entire waste of time. The music was well done (definitely wear headphones, should you choose to play this), and like I said some of the visuals were good. Had the artist stuck with one style, perhaps closer to the one originally advertised (not that I'm BITTER) then I would have been more satisfied. If you've not read the original story and perhaps, for whatever reason, tend to prefer visual novels to others, then this might be good for you. Bear in mind there is still a helluva lot of reading so if your patience wears thin easily you might not enjoy it. But then if you don't like reading you probably haven't read through this horrendous review... Oh well.In short, potential players should be aware that there is not a lot to this game except reading and mood-setting. If you are looking for an interactive horror game you'd be better of taking your business elsewhere.. I've been a fan of the works of H.P. Lovecraft for many years, and this game is a worthy tribute to the eponymic short story. The developer has very handily captured the tense atmosphere and sense of dread that are the hallmarks of Lovecrafts' works.It's worth mentioning that this product is much more of a visual novel than a game. You are essentally scrolling through a modernized version of the original story with the accompaniment of a creepy sound track and artwork.I recommend this game for any fan of classic horror fiction, and of course it's a "must own" for Lovecraft fans.. Interesting story. While it was very short, only an hour, it was well told. I was however, very disappointed that the full screen mode consisted of a black screen with a small 4 1\/2 in by 7 in rectangle in which the story was shown. This is not one to sit back and read. I had to sit forward and put my nose to the monitor in order to read it. Not one for people with less than perfect eyesight.Before you buy it, please be aware it is a story, not a game. There is only a small amount of time that you must move yourself with arrow keys. (Which did not add to the game or story and could have been left out, in my opinion.) With that in mind, it is worth your time, just for the folklore and the mystery.If they put trading cards or achievs on it I just might re-read it.. As a man who is still yet to read the short story in which the game is based, I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and look forward to what the developer will do next. I also had the pleasure of interviewing the developer for a project I was conducting at the time and he was very helpful indeed.I fully recommend this game to anyone who has an interest in Lovecraft\u2019s stories or those who will enjoy a strange tale of the macabre.. Before buying make sure to look closely at the screen shots. That 8-bit text is the majority of this product. It teletypes onto the screen. The soundtrack is great, moody, sets a good Lovecraft-like atmosphere. The artwork is interesting to look at and I like the style of it. Sadly however I can not suggest buying this, even on sale. I found the text hard to read, the 8-bit font is very jarring and does not fit the mood of the piece at all. I find it a bizarre choice. A hand-writing font would have been better. Heck, anything would have been better that the high-contrast blocky text displayed here. I also found the teletyping (one letter put onto the screen at a time) very distracting and way too slow. In the short time I spent with this (I never got to the end), I found myself catching up with the text and having to wait for it to finish "typing.". I enjoyed it a lot! Read the original short story a few years ago and really like the modernizing of the setting and characters for this game. Lovecraft's stories often take advantage of the increndible advancements and inherent unknowns of the early 20th century, and a lot of those themes are still relevant today. This would have been already great as a simple Twine story, but the interactive parts and (awesome!) audio really transform it into a super atmospheric piece of fiction.Recommended to everybody who likes a good weird tale!
