Feb. 2025
Not the typical ARG, I found myself being drawn, addicted to this game. Spent hours on another account and I felt like a special agent during my sessions. Each case is very well made, loved every compaign and the whole Lovecraft universe was so entertaining (Rosenberg, when I catch you). I've made it until the DLC "Alone in the Dark Web", so I'm quite proud of my rank :D ("Mother of Russia" made me want to plug every hair I had on my big head). I want to thank you Alice&Smith Studio for making this game, it has been an incredible journey even if I sacrificed evey last neurons cells I had on it, it was all worth it. Plus I acquired so much knowledge and skills thanks to this game, truly I can't recommend it enough. (PS : The soundtrack is still creeping me out to this day, it's haunting my nights. AND I STILL WAIT FOR SOMEONE TO CONTACT ME OMG). It's kinda sad this game and its community are not that active anymore, again thank you so much A&S ♥

An interesting and unique game with lots of ways to research and obtain info. It does give you the option to have higher levels of gameplay but they require more of your personal info so not for me. Still there is lots to do and sometimes can be a bit difficult. Overall a fun game which makes you sort of feel like your an agent.
