MazM, the studio behind Growing Seeds, has released a chilling new short-form visual novel on Android: The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy. This game plunges players into the unsettling world of Edgar Allan Poe, drawing inspiration from his iconic tales.
Familiar with Edgar Allan Poe's Works?
The Black Cat masterfully blends elements from Poe's short stories, notably "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and hints of "The Tell-Tale Heart." Prepare for a journey steeped in guilt, madness, and terrifying ambiguities—a world where the line between reality and nightmare blurs. If you're familiar with Poe's writing, you'll recognize the signature style: death isn't merely an ending, but a palpable presence woven into the fabric of daily life.
Expect creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and a confrontation with the darkest corners of the human psyche. The horror is primarily psychological, exploring profound themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable consequences of buried secrets.
MazM's signature storytelling shines through. The Black Cat features a compelling narrative, dark visuals, and haunting music perfectly complementing the game's unsettling atmosphere. See for yourself:
