Nor should it be thought that the world of gaming is as it seems to the casual player; for there are pixels behind it which the unwary cannot surmise, and whose hidden logic lures the mind ever deeper into its exceptional labyrinth of cosmic terror.

The Dark Rites of Arkham is a very good indie point-and-click adventure. Perfect length for the genre, with well-balanced puzzles that make you think without becoming frustrating. Strong, atmospheric pixel art and solid writing, the Lovecraftian theme paired with point-and-click gameplay is a great match. Highly recommended for fans of classic point-and-click games.

It's not news to anybody who's read my previous reviews that I'm a big fan of Postmodern Adventures' particular brand of gritty storytelling. But with each release by the studio come higher expectations: will he be able to keep up the high standards he's gotten us used to? Well, that's a question for the next game, because right now the answer is a resounding YES. The atmosphere, the animations, the lighting, the MUSIC! are all top tier. I can't wait to see how the rest of the story plays out, but so far this feels like a classic already.

As is tradition with Postmodern Adventures, the game offers a tightly written, atmospheric mystery that draws you in quickly and never lets go. Set aside a generous amount of time, because once you start, you'll want to finish it in one sitting. What begins as a straightforward crime investigation soon escalates into something much more complex, involving witches, cosmic gods, and cults. Jack and Harvey have great chemistry, and Harvey especially stands out as a sidekick who genuinely helps when you get stuck. The puzzles strike an excellent balance in difficulty, never too easy or too hard, making it possible to finish the game without a walkthrough. Careful exploration and conversations with your sidekick are more than enough to solve the case on your own. Edit: Forgot to mention that the game works great on Steam Deck. All you ever need is the right trackpad to move the pointer and the R2 button to interact. I played it from start to finish on the Deck.
