It's a spooky Lovecraftian game, a bit overwritten. ("The vacant church is in a state of great decrepitude" could be "is decrepit.")

Once you find the first body, it's not clear why you'd hang around town rather than fleeing.

The game has mazes, but they're combination locks, where you find directions from point to point; they're not meant to be solved in the traditional way by dropping items. I still don't love that; I'd prefer a "go to happy cow farm" command, where you can only go there once you have directions.

It's a pity that it only works on Windows; I don't see anything about this game that wouldn't work just as well (or better) in Inform.

The music only 45 seconds long, and looping, which gets annoying pretty quickly.

No rating; I haven't finished yet.
