About
If you enjoy eerie, dreamlike gothic tales driven by mood and a crumbling mansion’s dread, this should land well; Not for you if you need fast pacing, clear answers, or straightforward scares like Nosferatu the Vampyre.
Pros: heavy gothic mood; strong atmosphere; faithful Poe vibe | Cons: story takes liberties; music may clash; slow, quiet pacing
