Gamebook H. P. Lovecraft: The Haunter of the Dark

Play, no game. Put on your headphones, listen and imagine what exists in the dark. Did Lovecraft expose the most insidious Outer in his last story? Plunge into the Dormitory of Horror for answers. Oh, not sure if it's a one-way path…

About the Game

I have seen the dark universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim,
Where they roll in their horror unheeded,
Without knowledge or lustre or name.


Nemesis


Gamebook: The Haunter Of The Dark
Beyond Games and Audiobooks

Robert Blake, the main human character of The Haunter Of The Dark, died under unexplained circumstances.
Do you have the nerve to play his role as written down by the master Lovecraft?

Gamebook: The Haunter Of The Dark is an audio-active horror where less is more.
You'll see less, hear (fear) more.
Images will appear and disappear similar to the flashes of a night storm.
Music and sounds will indicate you the right direction in the darkness.
Use sound orientation and explore the winding streets of the haunted settlement to find and then escape the cursed temple.
Well, adventurer, you have a small chance called... hope.


In detail:
