MazM, the studio behind Growing Seeds, has unveiled a chilling new visual novel for Android: The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy. This short-form game plunges players into the unsettling world of Edgar Allan Poe.
Familiar Poetic Horror
Drawing inspiration from Poe's iconic tales, particularly "The Black Cat" and "The Fall of the House of Usher", with a touch of "The Tell-Tale Heart", The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy delivers a potent cocktail of guilt, madness, and terrifying ambiguity. Fans of Poe will recognize the signature blend of psychological horror and inescapable dread. Death isn't merely an ending; it's a pervasive presence woven into the very fabric of the game's world.
Expect creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and confrontations with the darkest corners of the human psyche. The horror is primarily psychological, exploring themes of evil, fate, and the consequences of buried secrets.
MazM's signature storytelling style shines through, with a narrative-driven experience complemented by dark visuals and a haunting soundtrack perfectly capturing the game's atmosphere. See for yourself:
