Gothic Visual Novel Unveils Creepy Legacy of "Usher"

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

Familiar Poetic Horror

Drawing inspiration from Poe's iconic tales, particularly The Black Cat, The Fall of the House of Usher, and elements of The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy delivers a gripping narrative filled with guilt, madness, and unsettling ambiguity. Fans of Poe will recognize the signature blend of psychological horror and inescapable dread. Death isn't merely an ending; it's a pervasive presence woven into the fabric of the game's world, mirroring Poe's masterful storytelling.

The game explores themes of creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and the confrontation of inner demons. The horror is primarily psychological, focusing on the exploration of evil, fate, and the consequences of buried secrets.

MazM's signature storytelling style shines through. The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy features a compelling narrative, dark visuals, and haunting music that perfectly capture the atmosphere of Poe's work. See for yourself:

MazM continues its tradition of transforming literary classics into unique and unsettling gaming experiences. Following their adaptation of Kafka's Metamorphosis, they now bring Poe's gothic nightmares to life in visual novel format.

The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy is free to start, but unlocking the full story requires a purchase. Download it now on the Google Play Store.
