Your estranged Uncle has always been obsessed with uncovering the secrets of the world, and his recent expeditions seem to have taken a toll on him. You’ve always kept a correspondence with him, but the letters he’s sent as of late have become increasingly erratic, paranoid, and nonsensical. Fearing for your Uncle’s sanity, you decide to pay him a visit. What you find in his mansion when you arrive contains horrors that defy comprehension.

A very fun, atmospheric room with weak puzzles minus a few gems. The ending is worth playing for all by itself, and one of the most memorable I can recall over 70 games.

Gameplay

Interesting puzzles, meh flow.

Atmosphere

The highlight of the room.

Though the game IS meant to be cosmic horror/C’thulu themed, this is not easily sensible nor followable.

Fantastic, cohesive room with strong themes. Several non-linear puzzles which are good for larger groups. A real showstopper ending!

8.5/10 Decent game with a great ending (though a few more effects could make it AMAZING). The puzzles were a little odd and some stuff didn’t work. Quite a few manual triggers were were waiting on after solving things. One of the puzzle just didn’t make sense. We often found ourselves going “what did we do to solve that?”.

Overall 10/10 experience just wish we were a little smarter. Really well designed room. We did end up asking for like 5 hints and I did scream a little when things opened up. The puzzles don’t flow very well into the next one so keep that in mind.

6.9/10 Shadow of Cthulhu was a fun game with a very surprising, but fun ending! The set and props of the first 2 rooms really did a good job of immersing us in this world, but we felt the lack of puzzles really left us searching for more throughout the game. This was the biggest flaw in our opinion. We spent a good portion of our time trying to find things to do or creating puzzles that didn’t exist. The final puzzle(s) in the experience were a bit of a let down, we did enjoy the payoff at the end and thought it was very fun!

  • The ending sequence was incredibly unique. This game is worth playing for the final moment alone.
