The WhatsNext verdict
For Fans of narrative-driven psychological horror and dark point-and-click adventure games.: A distinct visual identity, bleak domestic horror setting, and an evocative soundtrack create an absorbing, emotionally charged atmosphere. Tradeoff: Occasional obtuse adventure game puzzles and uneven pacing can detract from the narrative momentum.
What it does best
A soundtrack that carries it
A look you cannot mistake
Atmosphere you can drown in
What might put you off
Puzzles can become obtuse
The finale is less psychologically dark

What you are walking into
Lorelai, a brand new emotional horror ride from the maker of The Cat Lady and Downfall, tells a coming of age story of a young girl trying to escape the hell of her toxic family home. But adulthood is like waking up from a long dream. There will be times you will wish you were asleep again... But you can never go back to the same dream.
