New Visual Novel: Usher

MazM, the studio behind Growing Seeds, has released a chilling new short-form visual novel on Android: The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy. This game plunges players into the unsettling world of Edgar Allan Poe, drawing inspiration from his iconic tales.

Ever Experienced the Eerie World of Edgar Allan Poe?

The Black Cat masterfully blends elements from Poe's "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and hints of "The Tell-Tale Heart," creating a captivating narrative filled with guilt, madness, and terrifying ambiguity. If you're familiar with Poe's work, you'll recognize the signature style: a world where death is not merely an ending, but a palpable presence woven into the fabric of daily life.

Prepare for a journey of creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and confrontations with the darkest corners of the human psyche. The horror here is primarily psychological, exploring profound themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable consequences of our actions.

MazM's signature storytelling shines through in The Black Cat. The narrative-driven gameplay is enhanced by dark, evocative visuals and haunting music that perfectly complements the game's unsettling atmosphere. See for yourself:
