We choose to play as either Matthew Kolth, an occult obsessed paranormal investigator, into nightmarish scenes to fight several different terrifying monsters from ghastly Lovecraftian-inspired realms, or as Della Hartfort, as she slithers her way stealthy to avoid the same monsters Matthew is emptying his bullets upon.
Join either Mr. Kolth or Mrs.Hartfort as they both try to make sense of a hellish adventure that leads them into the depths of their own psyche and back again.
Live through their difference of reality-gaze which merges fiction and ethereal dream sequences and go on to fight against evil in this dimension…and the next.
Matthew Kolth is a paranormal investigator at the turn of the century that takes on a new case at Hartford Mansion. There he meets Della, the wife of a rich businessman that believes her house to be haunted. She sees visions of demons and beasts of other dimensions.
As a player, we have two deliberate choices: We either pick Matthew or Della, and both alternatives offer completely different play styles and adventures.
Matthew must journey through the dream-like yet horror filled halls of the Hartford mansion before heading to Carcosa Asylum in pursuit of Della and the answers she holds. You must guide him from the bone chilling depths of his own psyche and back into stability all the while fighting terrifying monsters and trying to solve mind bending puzzles to progress through the game.
Matthew must fight with enemies from outer space, other dimensions, and from the depths of his own soul to avail victorious from this mysterious and blood curdling case. Matthew must overcome his inner demons in a story that twists and turns as you must follow your instincts to find evidence – whether this evidence tells more about the case or about Matthew himself, is to be found out.
Alternatively, you can play as Della and befriend with shadows. She will embark on the same path Matthew has ventured, however she would only have her stealth-wise skills to confront or avoid those monsters. Inevitably, her version of this dangerous undertaking will also trigger her soul to face her own inner demons as well, but perhaps she has a different spectrum of opinions on the same worldly matters of which Matthew has a “male-gaze” upon, her own interpretation, as an audacious Victorian-lady…

ラヴクラフトを支離滅裂の言い訳に使うな
廉価ホラゲとしてはまあまあ水準の高い方に入るかと思います。フルプライスのものほどのクオリティをもとから期待しなければそれなりに楽しめるでしょう。
バグらしいものにもあまり遭遇せず、途中で投げ出すほどの理不尽ポイントもなく、クリアまで遊べました。セールで購入したぶんお得感があります。
とは言え文句をつけたくなった部分も多々あります。
・文字がデカすぎる上に改行も文章区切りもガン無視した、ブツ切りで読む気が失せる字幕
・全員他人の言ってる事を否定するので状況を掴む助けにならない登場人物達
・背景が全く察せられない戯言だらけのドキュメント
・目の前の光景が夢なのか現実なのか狂気の見せている幻なのか、常に判然としない世界観
・誰の視点で喋ってるかわからないモノローグ
・翻訳が微妙
というあわせ技でストーリーが全然理解できません。
ラヴクラフトって言っとけば適当に滅茶苦茶な事言ってるだけのシナリオでも許される、みたいな免罪符に使われてる感があります。
各ステージの冒頭で三人称視点で武器攻撃でステージを突破するマシューと、一人称視点でステルスしかできないデラを選択してどちらで攻略してもいいというシステムですが、ガンアクションむきのステージのほうが多いのでデラはかなりキツそうです(私は数回試しただけでほとんど使ってません)
銃のかわりにランタンをつけたり消したりできるんですが、それで何がどう変わるのが体感で全然わかりませんし、回避ポイントもないので発見されたら殴られて死ぬしかありません。
ステージによっては敵がでなくなるのでデラのほうが楽な場合もありますが、マシューで全員射殺したほうがゲームとしては面白いです。敵の攻撃を一発くらったらのけぞり中の追撃でハメ殺されるのでそっちもたいがいクソゲーですが。
パズル要素は基本的にオマケです。ちょっとめんどくさいだけであんまり頭を使う事もありません。
