This is literally one of the best HPL based games to date. It has some artistic deviations compared to what is HPL novel canon but they are minor and not problematic in the big picture of things as they seem to have been done due to the game's artistic direction. What is absolutely ridiculous is that some people are very suspiciously trying to negative review this hidden gem of a game claiming completely FALSE things and locking their reviews against comments so they can't be called out. One is a user named "psychotron" with 0.4 hours claiming the game "constantly breaks the 4th wall", which is something VERY COMMON to the point and click adventure genre, since the inception of the genre, and this game barely does if at all. The second, the most ridiculous of all is by a person called "Nighthawk" with 4.1 hours played, claiming the game has "very little to do with the Lovecraftian verse" which is 20000% false and that, quoting word for word, "Its mostly long-winded sections that try to create moral lessons in racism or that make sport of Jesus while all the while spewing "modern audience" talking points, slang and marxist dialectic. Its one of those games where you are just pointing and clicking through someone's bias and hate. The amount of Lovecraftian things in this game are about 5 minutes total combined. The rest is slop." This, dear readers, is 10000000% BS. The game is Lovecraftian to the core, inspired by and referencing a LOT of different novels and characters. It is, like I already said, one of the best HPL based games to date. Apparently what that person doesn't like, is the very sparse anti-racist and anti-KKK commentary, which is present in like 2-3 object examine descriptions and a couple of references to the Mayor who is rumored to be a KKK leader. So this person decided to review bomb this great game claiming complete nonsense, because apparently they're a hardcore racist as that's what they focused on. Their reviews locked from comments too so that no one can call them out, is why I felt the need to call them out on my review instead, as the game is simply very good. A lot of love for the source material and the genre is evident. Trying to lure people away from the game with absolute lies, is horrible. Ignore these people, the overwelmingly positive rating is well deserved.

The size of the game and large amount of beautiful spritework is extremely impressive. The theming of the game was also handled well. The blending of magic, science fiction, and cosmic horror worked well as a pulp detective point-and-click story. I'm not a Lovecraft myethos expert so I'm grateful the game gave explanations for a lot of references to it. The adventure the duo detectives go on goes to some really cool places, one of which was a real surprise. The puzzles are very straightforward and not super challenging but there were a good amount of them and some were quite creative. I would love to play another adventure game by this dev because they amount of work put into this game really stands out.

I fell in love with this game —and I’m going to play it again. I’m a huge fan of graphic adventures, pixel art, and H. P. Lovecraft, and this game shines in all three dimensions (and in others that should probably remain unnamed). I’ve played about 99% of the point-and-click adventures out there. Some of them lost me halfway through. That’s definitely not the case with The Dark Rites of Arkham, which easily earned a place among the favorites in my little gamer heart. It’s genuinely fun, cleverly designed, and it flows beautifully —the puzzles make sense. The dialogue never drags on forever, and the music and sound design fit perfectly. More than once I caught myself laughing out loud. I also loved the way it pays a perfect tribute to H. P. Lovecraft —something many games attempt but rarely pull off (sometimes they end up feeling more like bad offerings to the Great Cthulhu than actual tributes). Cons: there aren’t many games like this. I’ll gladly buy anything these developers make. Thank you, thank you, thank you

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 game has heart and soul. It transported me back to the early 00s, when point and click adventures were thriving and every new release carried that quiet fear of what comes next. The same feeling lives here and their mesmerizing soundtrack helps with that. The jazzy saxophone makes you want to pour a whiskey and sink into the mature dialogue of this thoughtfully crafted story.
