(More customer reviews)If you're a big fan of H. P. Lovecraft, you may feel with good reason that this game uses his writing as little more than a context for standard role-playing conventions. But, it does manage to give a few chills as you wander deeper and deeper into the action. And, bring to mind some of the shiver-producing moments experienced while reading Lovecraft.
I nearly jumped out of my chair at one point when my phone rang. The game had brought me so deep into the action and the sudden unexpected noise caught me while I was expecting something to suddenly appear in the shadowy view on my computer screen.
This game has good atmospheric components. Ambient sounds fit the environments well. And the background music is very good -- never overwhelming but never boring either.
As for danger, there are very few risks involved. However, when you do encounter a tricky situation, you'd better be prepared. And, as the game progresses, the chances for a bad end due to a poor decision are greater.
That's to be expected. Playing with dark magic and reviving the dead -- I call that serious business! You'd better be certain about what you're doing.
A couple of drawbacks as far as I'm concerned -- there seems to be a little too much "wander and find" activity at some stages of the game; and, secondly, the in-game animated videos are not always the best quality...but they do what is needed to advance the story.
This game has some of that old New England creepiness which we saw in "The Blair Witch Project". So, if you liked that, you should give this game a try.

Inspired by the writings of H.P. Lovecraft, Necronomicon plunges you right into the heart of the mystery. The prerendered, exceptionally detailed 3-D environments and realistic graphics in Necronomicon re-create the Lovecraft universe. You'll encounter old, dilapidated houses, dark, dingy passages covered by moss hundreds of years old, an alchemist's laboratory packed with magic spells, and evil-looking machines. These, combined with the rich, evolving story line, will captivate you as you make your way through the many locations, each stranger than the last, all the while being drawn in by the game's immersive atmosphere.
