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!
Based on the short story "The Dreams in the Witch House" by H.P. Lovecraft.

A primer cop d'ull pot semblar una aventura gràfica típica, però en realitat es tracta d'un simulador estudiantil lovecraftià.
Recomano aquest joc a tothom que li agradi les aventures no lineals i el terror. No és gaire llarg ni té mil escenaris, però es nota que està fet amb passió i coneixement del material original.
Una petita sorpresa molt recomanable!

I definitely recommend this game. I came into it with no expectations, but for me, it has become a benchmark for the genre. One of the best games I’ve played based on the Lovecraft universe, and I’ve played a lot. But I’m a fan of graphic adventures and narrative-driven genres, not so much into FPS or action games, and unfortunately, many Lovecraft-inspired games lean heavily into action (though I’d be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones).
I don’t understand why this game isn’t referenced in Lovecraft-themed game forums, it’s not even mentioned.
If you like Lovecraft, you have to play this game.

I loved this game. This is one of the best Lovecraftian games I have ever played. No other captured the essence of the myths like this one.
I only wish they release something similar soon.

Con perdón de "Dagon" y "Lovecraft's Untold Stories"(el 1, porque bajo este techo no hablamos del 2) , este es el videojuego que con mayor eficacia refleja la creciente paranoia y la sensación de incertidumbre del relato en el que se basa. Cociéndose a fuego lento (como toda buena historia de terror) y explotando en un potente clímax con múltiples finales en la temida víspera del 1 de Mayo, la Noche de Walpurgis, este juego lo tiene todo para hacer babear como un bebé a un fan de Lovecraft: estudiar los tomos prohibidos, aprender a mezclar pociones, investigar los juicios de Salem y conectarlos con rituales actuales....de todo para una diversión family friendly.
Absolutamente todos los elementos del relato están aquí, no se han dejado ni una miga en el plato.
10/10 por esta infamia violácea.
Pepinillos dixit. No toméis drogas. Ni siquiera cuando una bruja jorobada y su rata de cara humanoide os vigilan mientras dormís.

Impresionante point&click, adictivo desde principio a fin. Con mucha rejugabilidad, porque no es nada fácil llegar la final "bueno" y te obliga a probar caminos distintos.

Lo más parecido a una partida de rol de verdad.
