Description
The Innsmouth Case is a text adventure game inspired by H.P. Lovecraft and the very first text-based adventure to combine horror and comedy in a fit and proper way.
A desperate mother, a missing girl and a mystical place - a case could hardly be more challenging. To solve the enigmatic disappearance of little Tabitha Marsh, however, the toughest and cleverest detective of all is wanted... but he does not have the time - and so the job goes to you. This mysterious assignment takes you to the remote fishing village of Innsmouth, where nothing is what it seems…
Save the girl, solve the case, survive Innsmouth!
The Innsmouth Case is a detective adventure in the style of an interactive book inspired by the fantastical works of horror legend H.P. Lovecraft. The unique mixture of horror and humor makes The Innsmouth Case the first scary-comedy-text-adventure of its kind. A game in which every decision counts, and there is far more than one way to successfully solve the case ... or fail miserably!

Ratings and Reviews
Well made and entertaining but...
It’s my fault for being disappointed. I enjoy the works of Lovecraft and was expecting something more dark and serious from this game. I must have missed the part about comedy in the description when I purchased.
That’s not to say the game isn’t good and funny... it is! But for me it tries too hard to be funny and ends up being a bit silly in places when I wanted a more serious story. As I said, my fault for my expectations and subsequent disappointment.
The idea of achievements based on what ending you get is great and replay value is up there. Unlocking areas on the map is also a nice touch. I will definitely play some more to take other paths and see what outcomes I can find.
It is well written (apart from the overly silly bits that don’t appeal to me) and has some good eerie music. Gameplay is easy to handle as it’s just tapping to make choices. Seemingly safe and sensible choices tend to go in completely the opposite direction of what you intended, which is both infuriating and hilarious at the same time.
All in all, it’s definitely a game I’d recommend for fans of interactive stories, just don’t expect darkness on the level of the Lovecraft stories or the Call of Cthulhu games.
