MazM, the studio behind Growing Seeds, has unveiled a new short visual novel on Android: The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy. This chilling game immerses players in 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 terrifying, ambiguous 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, woven into the very fabric of the game's unsettling atmosphere.
Expect creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and a confrontation with the darkest corners of the human psyche. The horror is primarily psychological, exploring themes of evil, fate, and the consequences of buried secrets.
MazM's signature storytelling shines through, with dark visuals and a haunting soundtrack perfectly complementing the game's gothic atmosphere. See for yourself:
