This game is probably one of the best simulations of student life ever released. You have to cope with hunger, tiredness, the cold, exams, studying, money, academic rituals and prayers to the Elder Gods… As I’ve already mentioned, it’s one of the best games depicting a student’s everyday life. Joking aside, “The Dream in the Witch House” is one of the most faithful adaptations of Lovecraft’s prose I’ve ever seen. Because the original story was quite short, the developers managed to adapt it into a game and recreate it almost on a 1:1 scale. As for the gameplay itself, it’s a blend of a classic point-and-click RPG with light survival elements. I don’t have a clear opinion on the difficulty level of the survival mechanics in this game. In my opinion, they haven’t been properly balanced across the different difficulty levels. You’re more likely to lose a life due to an untreated cold than at the hands (tentacles?) of the local pantheon or bestiary. I definitely have to count this tutorial among the game’s drawbacks. It’s poorly put together and isn’t particularly helpful at all. The same goes for the lack of a proper in-game clock (the game only uses vague terms like “morning,” “dusk,” etc.); because instead of helping the player, this mechanic actively hinders them. Instead of forcing the player to buy a raincoat, the developers should have given them the option to purchase a decent wristwatch. Would I recommend it? Yes Game is superbly executed in terms of its story and adaptation, its mechanics, its graphics and sound design. Its biggest drawback (for me) is the fact that, on higher difficulty levels, the survival elements take center stage a bit too much, and also that it has a relatively poorly designed tutorial. ✅ [*] Pixel art combined with an 8-bit style. It's a bit like the classic adventure games from the '90s. [*] Unsettling and spine-tingling soundtrack. It was composed by Troy Sterling Nies. [*] UI typical of adventure games from the 1990s or the early 2000s. A classic, universal standard. [*] Story is great. Developers have skillfully adapted and tailored H.P. Lovecraft’s story of the same title to the new format. [*] Endings. The developers added their own endings to the standard, textbook-style ones, allowing you to take the reins and steer the story in a slightly different direction. [*] A mechanism for learning new, necessary skills and expanding your knowledge. This way, certain aspects of survival are made a bit easier; e.g. instead of buying rat poison, you can make it yourself. [*] I like that the in-game exams test real, intermediate-level knowledge in subjects like physics or chemistry. If you know the answers, you can choose them yourself instead of relying 100% on what you’ve (or haven’t) unlocked in the game. [*] From a mechanical standpoint, the survival aspects have been well designed. [*] Game features an authentic account of the Salem witch trials. [*] An interesting puzzle mechanism in which the correct answer changes with every playthrough. In practice, this means that most walkthroughs and guides for the game become pointless. [*] Player visits locations and meets characters who also appear in other Lovecraft stories. 😐 [*] I can’t believe anyone would come to Massachusetts in March (according to lore, that’s where Arkham is) without a raincoat. It would be better to explain that the main character’s raincoat had worn out or that it had been stolen whilst he was at lectures. [*] Unfortunately, when it comes to the difficulty level, I get the impression that the developers have gone a bit overboard and haven’t balanced the survival-related elements very well. The game can be a real ordeal even on the easy setting, let alone on normal or hard. [*] Every book should clearly show its progress level (e.g. you’ve read 3/5). At the moment, some of them display this information, whilst others do not. ❌ [*] The tutorial is poorly executed. It’s simply a collection of static screens with instructions that essentially throw the player in at the deep end. A better approach would be to present the tutorial as a prologue preceding the main part of the game. [*] Lack of proper in-game clock, which makes time-management unnecessarily difficult. [*] Sometimes longer texts are difficult to read, especially in poorly lit areas or when we’re under time pressure. [*] Lack of VA.
Does a wonderful job of bringing the atmosphere of the short story to life, and simulating what attending Miskatonic must be like. A fun mix of RPG and adventure game elements, with charming retro graphics. Personally, voice acting would push this over the edge into "perfect game" territory for me, but I understand why something like that can be rather difficult for an indie developer.
I rated this as a recommend, but I do have mixed feelings about it. I have been a huge point and click adventure game lover, since the first Monkey Island released ages ago. I also love the Lovecraftian horror themes. In the sense that this game is where those two things meet, for that alone I recommend it. The issues I had with the game were a lot of the time gated puzzles that you can miss out on if you don’t time it right within the day of the week or sequence it right before a certain point in the game. That, I am not a fan of. Overall though, it’s definitely worth playing. The game clocked in for me at around 7.5 hours, you can easily get more out of it if you replay to complete everything. Hopefully that gives you a sense of the price point that is best for you. If you would like to watch a play through, for whatever reason, please consider watching mine here: https://youtu.be/Xje0Bfdisn0 If you don’t mind subscribing to my channel (it’s free), please do. I am always trying to grow support, and yours would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Lovecraft is hard to adapt, especially into movies or videogames, but this game completely nails it. It might be one of the best Lovecraft adaptations there are. I'm really not a Point&Click-Adventure-guy - I never played that genre much, back in the day - so I have to admit that it can be a rather hard game and can be very stressful (which is a good thing at the same time). Any Lovecraft-Fan oughta play this!
