Whether the dreams brought on the fever or the fever brought on the dreams Walter Gilman
did not know. – H.P. Lovecraft, The Dreams in the Witch House
Arkham, Massachusetts 1929. Walter Gilman, a promising math student, has just moved to the city and is starting his studies at Miskatonic University. The Dombrowski’s boarding house where he resides has a bad reputation, but Walter doesn’t mind the old rumors… Until the dreams start. A hideous scheme is underway, and if Walter is not careful, it could cost him more than his life. It could cost him his soul.
Dreams in the Witch House is a unique mix of classic point and click adventure and open world RPG. The gameplay is nonlinear and many of the elements are generated randomly, making each playthrough different.
You have two months to prepare Walter for the dreaded May-Eve. How you spend the time is completely up to you: concentrate on studies, get friends and stay in good physical and mental state. Or explore the old rumours, read the forbidden books at Miskatonic University, and work on your occult thesis. Or just stay in bed, and hope that it all goes away!

As a fan of H. P. Lovecraft I was really interested in this game.
The elements and characters taken from the short story are true to the plot and feel authentic.
Also the places where the story unfolds are made with care and really feel like the 1930s Arkham.
It´s a pity that there´s no voice acting but I can live with that.
There also is a great replay value as you have quite some choices to make within the story.
Depending on your actions you can make a difference in Arkham for the good or fall for the secret evil lurking in the shadows of the old city.
The mechanics within the game like studying for your exams, eating when your hungry and keeping youself healthy (you can get sick or even die) make the game feel realistic but can sometimes slow down the developement of the story a bit.
You also have to manage when to do certain things, some events only occur on certain times of the day and other people have their own appointments too.
If you like Lovecraft and an old school point and click game mixed with survival elements this game is for you.
I surely learned to enjoy dreams in the witch house.

Cooles Game welches die Spannung im Verlauf immer weiter anhebt. Mach richtig Spaß wenn man auf Action, Horror und das erkunden aller Winkel und Geheimnisse steht. B-)
Ein Muss für alle Lovecraft Fans welche die Abenteuer der Protagonisten aus erster Hand erleben möchten.
