What Makes The Innsmouth Case Stand Out
A desperate mother, a missing girl and a mystical place – a case could hardly be more challenging. To solve the enigmatic disappearance of little Tabitha Marsh, however, the toughest and cleverest detective of all is wanted… but he does not have the time – and so the job goes to you. This mysterious assignment takes you to the remote fishing village of Innsmouth, where nothing is what it seems…
Save the girl, solve the case, survive Innsmouth!
The Innsmouth Case is a detective adventure in the style of an interactive book inspired by the fantastical works of horror legend H.P. Lovecraft.

Community Insight:
Went to a beach party at night and had some fishvery filling and they give it to you raw right on the water. 10/10, would come again. PS: If youre thirsty, ask for Hydra, she makes a great sex on the beach. Make sure you give her the tip we mean a tip. A tip. Obed Marsh.
First off, the disclaimer about not being racist, because Lovecraft was a product of his time, wasnt really necessary. Then the candy crush reference was another eye roll. Its pretty cringe fora Lovecraft adventure.
We love H. P. Lovecraft by why change something because we want to be inclusive. Well you arent including people who love a good classic. In fact, you have actively excluded us. No thanks.
This app has a very nice aesthetic and the story is interesting. But there is absolutely no guidance on how you can stop reading at any time without losing all of your progress. The app prompts that if you return to the main menu you will lose all of your progress in that chapter. But theres absolutely NO way of knowing when youve moved on to a new chapter. We wasted a lot of time and became very discouraged working back through material we had already seen. After about 15 or 20 minutes more of reading, we tried to exit AGAIN and lost all our progress from the last half hour. No app support is available Unless you happen to speak German. We do not.
We really wanted to like this game as a Lovecraft fan. Its almost a kids game. The art is just plain silly. The writing is bad. If youve ever actually read The Shadow over Innsmouth youll hate this game. We didnt even mind it was a text game. Im not sure who this was made for. Honestly it seems like its aimed at 12 year olds. You cant combine lovecraft with with the silly character art like that. Like its a Disney movie. We tried but we couldnt get through it.
It certainly has its mix of humor and horror, though we feel like the choose a previous chapter function could be improved for some routes. We finished the route that led to the drowned ending achievement, but when we tried to go back a little bit on that branch by going to the escape chapter, thinking it would go back about a chapter on that route, it instead put us on the escape chapter for a completely different pathway than what we had just finished. Though we guess it might be a bug since the town center area didnt show up as an option, which is where we had gone on that path.
