Siliconera: Here’s something you don’t see every day. The Miskatonic is a side-scrolling, horror comedy visual novel. It follows young witch Charlotte LeStrange as she attends the odd Miskatonic university while hatching plans to summon Shub-Niggurath. Yep, this is a game inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft. It also has plenty of nods to horror games.
Serena Nelson writes: "Horror adventures are popular, and several have gone through crowdfunding, but some are still being developed. We look at five great unreleased titles."
Some promising games on the list, hopefully there isn't too much drama getting them finished.
Adventure visual novel The Miskatonic continues to see some delays but work continues and tester level backers might be getting something for the wait.
Serena Nelson writes: "As the name suggests, our heroine starts working for the (in)famous university located in the fictional Lovecraft town of Arkham, Massachusetts. In addition to being quite quirky she's also a witch that worships the Goat With a Thousand Young, Shub-Niggurath. For the uninitiated she's a twisted fertility goddess. Anyway, just in the opening sequences that have been revealed we also are treated with several references to the famous author's works. And along with it plenty of dark comedy. Fans of the genre with a wicked sense of humor will love the story I believe."
