Dreams in the Witch House

This one is for people who like slow dread and old town legends. Arkham in the thirties, damp weather, a suspicious boarding house and a student who can't sleep properly. The game doesn't rush you. It lets you decide how to spend the time left before May. What you'll like: - Your first sessions go to settling in: finding work, keeping a routine, and not collapsing from exhaustion or nerves. - You can study, look for friends, or dig through forbidden books and rumors. Every choice shapes both Walter and what he uncovers. - Quest and RPG are woven together here: the world is open, and some events are assembled anew each time, so a second run feels different. - There are several endings, and each one has to be earned through your actions, not one lucky click. You get a Steam activation key for the Global region. The key appears on the order page right after payment and is entered in the Steam client. You can buy the Dreams in the Witch House key right here, in a single order. Whether the dreams brought on the fever or the fever brought on the dreams Walter Gilman did not know. - H.P. Lovecraft, The Dreams in the Witch House Arkham, Massachusetts 1929. Walter Gilman, a promising math student, has just moved to the city and is starting his studies at Miskatonic University. The Dombrowski’s boarding house where he resides has a bad reputation, but Walter doesn’t mind the old rumors... Until the dreams start. A hideous scheme is underway, and if Walter is not careful, it could cost him more than his life. It could cost him his soul. Dreams in the Witch House is a unique mix of classic point and click adventure and open world RPG. The gameplay is nonlinear and many of the elements are generated randomly, making each playthrough different. You have two months to prepare Walter for the dreaded May-Eve. How you spend the time is completely up to you: concentrate on studies, get friends and stay in good physical and mental state. Or explore the old rumours, read the forbidden books at Miskatonic University, and work on your occult thesis. Or just stay in bed, and hope that it all goes away!
