Amazing Game! Would love to play sequel!
I love this game aesthetics, settings, the inventory management, the combat. I sure hope there will be similar game down the line with polished system and bug fix.

Things to keep:
1. The consequences: The option you make that affect the future. example: Option to kill/not-kill the husband in 2nd-to-last chapter and if you didn't kill him, he transform and fight you later in the chapter
2. Mysterious Story: Don't have to be Lovecraftian again, but keep it mysterious
3. The voice-acting: good
4. Overwatch Option: this is the best thing ever, very satisfying, it feels like setting a trap
5.

A few things to improve upon:
1. Game-Freeze Bug: sometimes, switch weapon = game froze, need to restart from checkpoint
2. Radithor is kinda useless in my opinion, never use them the entire game
3. Dialogue Bug: sometimes, the dialogue said by characters are super delayed or skipped entirely
4. Charactor animation during interaction with objects: character still in walk animation when interact with objects.
5. Tutorial: a prologue chapter to teach player how to play a little bit before letting them choose character would be nice.
6. Stronger Final Boss: i don't know about other people, but i beat it 1st try with too much ease. Do not feel the tension from fighting BIG GOOEY TENTACLE MONSTER FROM OUTER SPACE
7. Map: It just shown what area you are in the map, not where you are in that area, making it hard to pinpoint where you are when the area shape is a symmetrical

The whole game was too easy, not just the final boss. I had a character down in a combat only once.

As a fan of the Arkham Horror suite of games, I loved it. It captures the feel of an Arkham Horror game experience while not being a perfect replica of any other Arkham Horror game. Loved the ambiance and sound work, which were top notch, and I enjoyed seeing the investigators in action. I would hands-down purchase more of these, especially if they widen the pool of investigators and add more interactions.

I would like to see a sequel too. Would like to see some RPG elements - character building.

I'm a fan of the hole arkham horror\ lovecraft franchise . and I like this game.
If you are considering expantions , than please ad other investigators like Amanda Sharpe or Mandy Thomson

To be honest, I think this game serves as a great core! Sure there are things that can be improved upon, but isn't that always the case? If they just make a sequel to this and just improve upon a few things AND make it expandable, so that new story campaigns could be added- I think it would become the best and most recommended PC experience for Arkham Horror fans. I myself am collecting the LCG and really enjoyed actually playing and investigating the actual scenarios :)

For the future, though, have more choices and consequences like OP said. It sure felt like a lot of the points of interest weren't meaningful at all, and if you just knew where to go and what to inspect you can skip like 70% of the game.

This game needs workshop, many mods with campaigns made by players. Otherwise, it's too short and the final monster is disappointing. That was the great plan? Really?

Totally this. Watching the bts how they built the rooms etc. to be modular looks like there is huge potential for expansions and or modding. Sure there is lots of work in set design, script writing etc. but the core game is stable and built for exploring. The Arkham Horror range has tons of investigators, plot lines and beasties to pull from so fingers crossed we can get more.

Really loved this game. Cant agree more about a workshop where players can create content for it. Hope we see new expansions

if you liked the combat, youll like most turn based tactical games like wasteland series, shadowrun series, ect
