So this is a game about falling into pits. All you will ever do is fall into pits. Once you make a little progress, you immediately fall into a pit. There is no way to avoid this. If you like falling into pits over and over again, then this is the game for you. For every other human being on planet Earth, this game is trash.

Pay no heed to reviews saying it's "utterly randomized".

This is a game about mapping out your environment and process of elimination.
Having paper and a pencil on hand helps drastically, as this game can sometimes be quite challenging.

I certainly wish it were longer, but the brief entertainment I got from this game far surpasses the £1.99 price tag.

At this price, it's a steal, a little treat your your brain.

The "Endings" it offers are nothing more than how many ways you can fail, vs the one way you can win.
It's a cute little puzzle game, and I would absolutely LOVE if there were more to this, it's a shame it was so quick to go through, even when taking my time.

Basically an interactive graphic novel, uses a lot of Lovecraft stuff because that's what the story is based on. Choose your own adventure, and delve into madness, also solve madness puzzles...

Don't waste your money on this. Stay away from this game. This game is so utterly randomized that there is nothing to learn except when it comes to puzzle solving, and running from creatures. Any progress made can be wiped out by the randomness, and sudden death of the protagonist. There is no sense of accomplishment playing this game, except only where luck prevails. The game decides when to kill your hero. That is absolute trash.

A fun atmospheric puzzle game.

Not a bad little game. I enjoyed it a lot, and love the unique art style. I enjoyed that there were multiple endings. Finding all the artifacts was a bit of a struggle, but it at least doesn't take that much time to find them all! A complete run is also very quick once you know what you're doing and what you need to dodge. The price of the game is also pretty spot on, but I would def recommend getting it on sale if you're not into achievements as it doesn't take very long to get all endings and beat the game.

Competent art, absolutely brain dead gameplay. Basically, you stumble in a maze full of insta-death traps, and everything is decided randomly. There is not much more to say, since there is really not much the game offers.

I loved the game. Sure, it gave me hell until i understand the mechanics but once i did, i enjoyed it very much and falling into the bottomless pit over and over again finally ended! Just hang in there until you figure what the game wants. A wonderful ride is ahead of you.

Comics and Lovecraft go together like… Lovecraft and anything else, really. Cosmic horror in the unspeakable, tentacled vein can work in any medium, but it’s not easy to capture that sense of despair and terror that made Lovecraft such a household name. Lovecraft Quest is a prime example of those troubles, a short adventure into a dungeon of mazes and familiar puzzles gussied up in the trappings of deep ones and elder gods. Told with faithfully purple prose and passable comic book art, your unfortunate character is tossed about on a shipwreck and deposited at the entrance of a mysterious dungeon, which he of course must explore.

The next 30 to 40 minutes will be spent navigating mazes of rooms peppered with ridiculous instant-kills like bottomless pits and shoggoths. Clicking randomly will surely result in death, so prepare for plenty of backtracking as you use Minesweeper logic to navigate to the stairs ever downward. You’ll need to solve some banal sliding block puzzle or rotating switch thing to open the door, of course, and you may pick up some of the game’s few collectibles if you’re diligent in searching rooms. There’s a neat escape sequence but other than that it’s bog standard puzzles all the way down, along with absolutely bizarre encounters like killing Dagon, great lord of the deep ones, with two pistol shots. That should tell you everything you need to know about how Lovecraft is applied here, and between that and the boring gameplay, there’s no reason to bother.
