MazM, the studio behind Growing Seeds, has unveiled a chilling new visual novel on 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 delivers a captivating experience filled with guilt, madness, and terrifying realities (or are they?).
Fans of Poe will recognize the signature style: a world where death is not merely an ending, but a palpable presence, woven into the very fabric of life. The game masterfully captures this essence, focusing on creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and the confrontation of inner demons. The horror is predominantly psychological, exploring themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable consequences of buried truths.
MazM's signature storytelling shines through. The Black Cat boasts a compelling narrative, dark visuals, and haunting music perfectly complementing the game's atmosphere. See it in action:
