Description

Put on your headphones, close your eyes and watch the story in your imagination. What seems like a game may be something more. Is it a story waiting to be told or... felt? Enter the universe of Edgar A. Poe, where reason, like the devil, says "Goodnight".


Put on your headphones, close your eyes and watch the story in your imagination...

One Game Mode: We’ve merged the original Story and Explore modes into a single, seamless experience. Just boot up the game and dive right into the adventure—no unnecessary choices needed. 

The wisdom that we get from the “already told” stories makes us deeply feel that we cannot hide from the inevitable (*).

⠀

Be an active participant in a story true to the original.

Play the role intended for you by the master Edgar Allan Poe. and uncover the dark secret behind the portrait of a muse.

The show must go on... in the right way.

Make choices and follow the illustrative sounds and music.

Images arise and disappear in the fumes of the gothic atmosphere.

Experience the story as realistically as your imagination allows you to.
