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 classics, including The Black Cat, The Fall of the House of Usher, and elements of The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy delivers a potent cocktail of guilt, madness, and unsettling realities. Fans of Poe's work will recognize the signature blend of psychological horror and inescapable dread. Death isn't merely an ending; it's a constant presence woven into the fabric of the narrative, mirroring Poe's signature style.
The game explores themes of creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and the confrontation of inner demons. The horror is primarily psychological, delving into the depths of evil, fate, and the things we try – and fail – to bury.
MazM's signature storytelling shines through. The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy features a compelling narrative, dark visuals, and haunting music that perfectly capture the game's atmosphere. See for yourself:
