REVIEW: Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft

Review by GamingCouchPotato.co.uk Staff
Are you a fan of H.P. Lovecraft? If yes, then you should check out Dagon, it is a 3D narrative experience based on the short story book of the same name. Best played in VR, it is a new way of experiencing the written work of Dagon by H.P. Lovecraft.

Gameplay elements are limited, so think of this more of an experience than a game, you play as a former ship officer, a drug addict, and you experience his delusions and experiences.



This is a short experience, maybe 30 minutes on first playthrough, although made for VR headsets, it can be played on a normal screen. Each scene is fully narrated, and you can look around, zoom in etc, you will see points that you can click on to further the story, which gives the origin of the Cthulhu Mythos.

The game is free, so if you have a VR headset and want to try something different, then there is nothing to lose. Other than your sanity perhaps!


The Good
Beautifully animated, everything looks great, the narration is also top notch, and however you decide to experience this, one thing you must do is put on headphones.

The Bad
It's very short and only replay value is for any missed achievements.

Overall
Do you have a VR headset? If yes, get this, it is free. If not, get this it is free.
Simple as that, for a short experience you have nothing to lose but your mind.
I score Dagon a simple 8/10
