only play if you're a lovecraft fan

If you read the other reviews, they're quite positive, but seem to come from lovecraft fans. I never read a lovecraft book, but bought the game anyway to give it a try. This review reflects this point of view. I finished the game, it's short. The graphics, setting and atmosphere are nice and all, but the story doesn't make a lot of sense. When the game ends, all is left unanswered, perhaps because I didn't read lovecraft stories. In this game, there's very little to do and not a lot to explore. The few puzzles are not very good. Not having read the original stories, I missed all the references, and the game per se, without them, is quite shallow. So, I can't say I enjoyed the game a lot. (don't misunderstand me: I'm not judging lovecraft stories, they're known to be at the very least quite influential and often praised) TL;DR: If you're not a lovecraft fan: there are a way better walking simulators, you can skip this one.
