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 gripping narrative filled with guilt, madness, and unsettling realities. If you're familiar with Poe's work, you'll recognize the signature blend of psychological horror and inescapable dread. Death isn't merely an ending; it's a pervasive presence woven into the 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 burdens people try, and fail, to escape.
MazM's signature storytelling shines through. The Black Cat boasts a narrative-driven experience, enhanced by dark visuals and a haunting soundtrack perfectly complementing the game's atmosphere. See for yourself:
