How It Begins
The opening lines of Poe's The Raven are quoted. You appear to be a gentleman of leisure. You are on a velvet couch in a shadowy study, wearing a gold ring. The study's obvious features include a writing desk, velvet curtains, a window and a fireplace, and a bust of Pallas sits over the door.
You can hear a tapping sound from somewhere.
Notable Features
- Based (very loosely) upon Edgar Allen Poe's The Raven.
- Includes a hunger puzzle variant, and a lot of PC death.
- Heavy use of drugs is necessary to win the game.
- Features a complex alchemy puzzle.
