If you are fan of cosmic horror or strange tales in general, The Miskatonic is worth the small investment. This isn't really a point against it, it reminds me of the "Interactive Storybooks" I played as a child, only much weirder and with boobs. There are no dialogue options, and outside of "investigation" segments where you can click on different NPCs to talk to them, you are simply clicking through the dialogue segments. In terms of gameplay, The Miskatonic is pretty heavy on the "novel" part of "Visual Novel". Lovecraft’s monsters are not only real but accepted as a fact of life. Charlotte LeStrange is a witch from Maine who lives in a world where all H. Not related to the Miskatonic University of Demonbane. She very quickly finds herself in over her head in occult tomfoolery. The Miskatonic is an English-language Horror Comedy written and illustrated by Jack Cayless through Rapscallion Games. A bubbly and friendly witch by the name of Charlotte LaStrange has just been employed as a security guard at none other then Miskatonic University- which, if you are not familiar with the source material, is pretty much ground zero for weird crap. England is overun with cannibals, Australia got half-eaten by Shuggoths, a team of icebreaker ships works daily to keep Cthulhu in remission, and people in North America are rapidly and visibly mutating. It's 1936, in a world where the tales of HP Lovecraft are true and mostly public knowledge. The Miskatonic is a fun little 2 hour visual novel that's light on interactivity but amusing, creepy and full of weird imagery and the distinctive big-eyed, clean-lined artwork of one Jack Cayless. ![]()
