I don't like to say anything bad about indie games, but this was kinda bad.

It's a point-and-click game with very Lovecraftian influence. So Lovecraftian, that effectively nothing happens in the story until the very end, which is predictable and disappointing, albeit the best scene in the game.
It reminds me of Darkseed somewhat - a fairly middling-looking game intersperced with close-up animations, which, unfotunately, were mostly spoiled in the trailer. And of course H. R. Giger didn't design anything here, unlike with Darkseed.

About a third of the game is a fetchquest that could be cut with no issue and is clearly there to pad out the game.

Despite the fact that your protagonist appears smart no amount of choices will save them from fumbling down the dumbest path by the end.

The puzzles are either dumb or require outside knowledge, which is baffling. None of it is incredibly niche, but the game expects you to know some greek alphabet and a few latin words.

Truly a Lovecraftian game in that it's boring as hell. At least the black man wasn't demonic.
