Description
Detective Jack Foster rejoins the police department after a traumatic incident to take over the investigation of what appears to be mere political blackmail. Soon, however, he's faced with the discovery of a gruesome ritual murder that took place in a sealed room, from which no one could have gotten in or out without being seen. Along with his new partner, Harvey Whitman, an expert on cults, Foster dives deep into the shadows of the city of Arkham. The case will get even darker when they find out it is related to three witches that escaped the Salem trials in 1693, and a conspiracy that could put an end to the world as we know it. Pulp & Click adventure based on dialogue and inventory puzzles. More than 90 detailed pixel art backgrounds to explore. A story inspired by the works by H.P. Lovecraft, where we will meet well-known characters such as Herbert West, Keziah Mason, Doctor Eric Moreland, and Henry Armitage. Jazzy ambient music composed by Matías J. Olmedo ( An English Haunting ). Visit the Arkham Museum of the Unusual and lose yourself in its chambers, the biggest attraction of which is the artwork of the sensation of the moment: painter Richard Upton Pickman.
