The Temple

You play as an unidentified person journeying with a man called Charles, in a nightmarish world of strange eclectic gods. A very linear game, with intended routes and such in order. I like that there’s hints, great system.

It's very Lovecraftian- got the normal things, cults, screaming eldritch demons, alchemy, so definitely fits there.

Overall, very short, but it’s fantastic. You can die, but it’s polite. Great introduction and commands. Could do with a little more context and variety, parsers are good. Another thing it could use is more worldbuilding. The atmosphere wasn’t tense at all (apart from That One Part), but still made sense.

Because of the length, I’ll be rating it a 3.5, because it’s… Y’know. It could’ve been expanded on, and for a hook, it’s not great. Writing ran a little weak at times, but still, pretty good!
