The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy Is a New Visual Novel Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s Stories

MazM, the studio behind the acclaimed 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 potent cocktail of guilt, madness, and unsettling realities. Fans of Poe's work will recognize the signature blend of psychological horror and inescapable dread. Death isn't merely an ending; it's a palpable presence woven into the fabric of the game's world, mirroring Poe's masterful storytelling.

Expect creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and confrontations with the darkest corners of the human psyche. The horror is primarily psychological, exploring themes of evil, fate, and the burdens we try, and fail, to escape.
