@Mervyn: thanks for the kind words. Works based on Lovecraft surely suck you in!
@Giles: you should definitively give the game another go!
Loved "Dark Corners of the Earth" though I did not finish it back in the day. Kept getting killed by a huge tentacle, so I gave up. May need to install it again.
And to Mervyn (the other commenter): I just happen to be getting into Necronomicon as of last weekend. Excellent atmosphere, and so far (only a couple hours in) a great adventure game from days gone by!
I loved your review Davide. I know where you are coming from. I have just played Necronomicon which is another game based on the works of H.P.Lovecraft. His works are unique as is the genre of wierd science that he created. When playing the games based on his writings, you feel like you belong to his world.
When I get some spare time, I would like to look that game up and give it a go. Keep up the good work.
