Lovecraftian Adventure Game Dagon for Free on Steam

Bit Golem has released Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft, a horror adventure game inspired by the Cthulhu mythos, for free.

Project Dagon: by H. P. Lovecraft, a free horror game based on the works H. P. Lovecraft, has been made available on Steam. The project was developed by Bit Golem, a Polish studio known for Ultimate Fishing Simulator.

The title was very warmly received. as many as 97% of user reviews on Steam are positive, which the service categorizes as "overwhelmingly positive" reception.

This is a completely free production. Those who want to support the devs, however, can purchase an optional package called The Eldritch Box DLC for around $4. It does not expand the game itself in any way. It is only a set of digital extras, such as two audio versions of the short story Dagon (one traditional, and the other enhanced with in-game sound effects), or several ebooks.

Dagon is a narrative adventure game, so while playing we mainly deal with exploration. We play as a morphine-addicted former sea captain and face the nightmares from the Cthulhu mythos. The game presents a short interactive story, which takes about half an hour to complete. You can play on a traditional monitor or in VR goggles.

Before downloading the game, you should familiarize yourself with its system requirements.
