The end is near. I hear a noise at the door, as of some immense slippery body lumbering against it. It shall not find me.
If you were looking for something to play and get into the Spooktober mood, well, you may just be covered. Indie devs Bit Golem have released, for free, a game adaptation of H. P. Lovecraft’s Dagon. Prepare yourself for the cosmic horrors of what lay in the deep, and read their description of the game.
Dagon is a free 3D narrative experience in madness (you could also call it a daemonic visual novel) based on the cult short story of the same title by the master of cosmic horror, H. P. Lovecraft himself. It’s an interactive portal into the world of the controversial genius and his highly acclaimed Cthulhu Mythos, open to both newcomers and long-time devotees. Step into the shoes of a former ship officer and morphine fiend, and dive into the Stygian Abyss of a drug-addled mind. Uncover the unspeakable, long-drowned horrors on a distant eldritch island and wallow in Lovecraftian dread.
Bit Golem claims the game can be completed in as little as 30 minutes, that of course being if you want to rush things. There are also some paid expansion packs for the game. Other than that, Dagon is free to play. You can grab it over on Steam right now, if you so wish. And you probably should; the reviews there are overwhelmingly positive.
