So...an American Haunting, anyone?

This looks great! And the best part is that I suspect that as impressive as this video is, the story and writing will be the best part of the package. Looking forward to this already.

This looks amazing, I've been dying for another new Lovecraft point and click since Dreams In The Witch House came out, I can't wait to play this.

Fantastic work! The mood you've captured is incredible. And what a great trailer... That old lady gave me the chills!

Absolutely amazing. I'll take pixel art like this over any other type of graphics. Can't wait to play this.

Postmodern Adventures is an unstoppable game-making machine!

The backgrounds are very atmospheric, with a lot of cool details in them -- I love the water reflections and the lights in some of the scenes. The talking close-up is really cool.

The quizzes in previous games were a lot of fun and one of the highlights for me, glad they made a comeback!
