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 gothic horror of Edgar Allan Poe's literary world.
Familiar Poetic Dread
Drawing inspiration from Poe's iconic tales, 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 blend of guilt, madness, and unsettling ambiguity. Fans of Poe's work will recognize the signature atmosphere of creeping dread and inescapable death woven into the fabric of everyday life.
The game explores psychological horror, delving into themes of evil, fate, and the enduring consequences of buried secrets. Expect a narrative focused on hidden tragedies and the unsettling things that haunt the recesses of the mind.
MazM's signature storytelling style is on full display, with dark visuals and a haunting soundtrack perfectly complementing the game's grim atmosphere. View the trailer below:
