Charts
Each storefront's own chart, in its own country — the closest public signal to sales where none is published. A country missing from a list is one we don't collect there, not one where the game doesn't chart.

Not bad for 40 hour game, a bit repetitive, clunky gameplay, but i liked the originality i saw, good story as well.
This was a big surprise, and in all the right ways. After seeing some of the reviews for the original version, I expected a mediocre experience but boy oh boy this game turned out to be one of the best detective games I have played so far. Let's start with the best part, the writing. It's really great and while I wish the characters you meet were more fleshed out, some of them really stand out with exceptional VA and writing. Add to this, the story is really interesting although a bit padded out in my opinion. It feels like the game could have been a few hours shorter, but still, every mission, side or main, was really well done. Now onto the combat. In general, it's good but a little repetitive. It's also on the hard side, at least initially, so it's best to avoid it as much as possible until you unlock better weapons. You also get to level up and unlock skills to make you stronger so there is always the sense that every combat or mission is rewarding. Resources management is also a thing here, but you can always find a lot of loot everywhere so it's really not a problem, and frankly, I actually love scavenging! Performance of the game was good in my experience but the game does crash sometimes. However, it only happened either when I was starting the game or when I fast traveled. The latter always saved right before the crash so I never lost any progress. It's just a little frustrating to have to restart the game again. TLDR : A great detective game with a little horror element to it. Overstays a bit but the journey is worth taking. Final score : 8/10

14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Sep 19: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 76.75/day in the week to Jul 15 → 3.57/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Poland over the last 30 days: the 21 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 12 places towards #1, and the 2,501 moves with no price cut behind them went 1 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

This game is such a mixed bag for me, if I was able to I'd give it a neutral review, but I really can't solidly recommend it to someone. The movement feels floaty and simultaneously clunky. The gunplay is just not satisfying, it works, but there's no real meat to it. The actual detective elements which are the main part of this game are interesting at first, but quickly become repetitive as it never really changes. Piecing clues together is simple and even a moron could do it. The game also has to have some 'special vision' that highlights things, because of course it does. I found the ending to be unsatisfying. There's a claim of branching story paths and that your choices have consequences, but the choices are really contained to the Story Acts they're present in, they rarely go beyond it. And none of these have any impact on the ending itself, you're free to reload a save and see the different endings. Some of the character models just look awful as well and at times you get this terrible lighting/fog effects when you're exploring the city which makes it near impossible to see anything. Despite that, the game ran perfectly for me and I had zero issues with performance. Considering this is a UE5 title and I was playing this on Linux, that's impressive I guess. Some of the side cases that you do were actually really good, many of them are simple fetch quests but there were a few standout missions that had some backstory to some significant characters in the game. If you're a fan of Lovecraft stuff, I'd recommend you pick this up on sale. You're more than likely used to mid/garbage games. Otherwise just avoid it. Maybe the sequel will be better? We'll have to see.
Tremendamente bueno, lo amé de principio a fin. Tengo que probar más juegos como este.
i tried so hard to give this game my time and it shows (literally tried with a total of 15hrs) but its IMPOSSIBLE to play. the story sounded so nice and i really wanted to know what happens and i liked the detective parts but the fighting is so bad. the melee attacks don't do anything and resources to craft are scarce but that's no even the worst part of this whole game. when i say impossible to play i mf MEAN IMPOSSIBLE. this game kept crashing for the VERY BEGINNING!!! THE MOMENT U STEP FOOT AND START WALKING IT CRASHES there are so many bugs in this ♥♥♥♥ its actually disgusting (and no its not my computer yall i CHECKED) I SPENT 15 HRS ON THIS ♥♥♥♥ MAINLY CRASHING AND OPENING AGAIN TRYING TO CLEAR ONE FREAKING QUEST. i gave up i tried to get a refund but no one answered me literraly a waste of my time, sanity, patience, and money.
bonne ambiance mais c'est tout. le gameplay est desasteux, pas tres beaux et tres mal opti
Непогана гра, як з своїми сильними так і слабкими сторонами Спочатку гра виглядає доволі химерно і дивно, особливо для не дуже знайомих з творчістю Лавкрафта. Але після вступної місії уже загалом втягуєшся і до декорацій і до атмосфери, і все виглядає на своїх місцях По геймлею це все ж в першу чергу детектив (по типу інших ігр студії про Шерлока Холмса) але без міні-ігор і головоломок. Тут більше про збір доказів і формування висновків Основна сюжетна лінія цікава. Також є кілька непоганих побічних справ. Але інша частина другорядних місій одноманітні. Враховуючи що і моделі будинків (розташування кімнат і т.д.) перевикористовувались, деякі місії виглядають як пройти до одного будинку, перебити монстрів, знайти доказ і потім перейти в інший такий самий будинок і по кругу. Крім детективної частини, тут є боївка з монстрами. Є різні типи вогнепальної зброї і рукопашний удар. Також кілька різних типів ворогів. Загалом все стандартно. Правда спочатку кількість набоїв дуже обмежена, що може не сподобатись, але по мірі проходження загалом ситуація покращується і дефіцит не відчуваєтьсяю. Також комусь може не сподобатись що ці набої треба постійно заходити в меню і крафтити, але загалом я б не сказав що боївка тут погана. +- звичайна
deep story . limited ammo. , little disturbing content
Probably one of the best and most authentic game set in the Cthulhu mythos world. Recommended if you enjoy the works of Lovecraft. Upside: the small stories you find as missions are intriguing, nice (and very dark) atmosphere, good graphics, light detective/puzzle elements. Downside: very basic crafting, passable combat, game is kinda padded open world is quite empty.
A fun Lovecraftian Adventure that certainly has some tricks up its sleeve for getting you to almost feel the madness. One warning: They name all the boats Cyclops 2, as a reference that never pays off. Don't spend your time worrying if it's a hint that it's all a dream. It's not, just a bad design/programming choice. That minor thing aside, it's a great experience that maybe runs a little too long given the specific kind of playstyle they designed, but overall with 20 hours and 20 bucks on seasonal sale.
