“Dagon” is a horror adventure game developed by the Italian software house Nerd Monkeys and published in 2020 for Microsoft Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Plot:
The game is inspired by the stories of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, particularly the novella “Dagon,” from which it takes its name. The plot follows the story of a man shipwrecked on a mysterious island populated by monstrous creatures and cultists who worship an ancient and terrible deity.

The player controls the protagonist, a nameless man, who wakes up on a beach after the shipwreck of his vessel. They must explore the island, solve puzzles, and battle against the creatures encountered along the way.

The game’s graphics are meticulously crafted, with a detailed and eerie setting that creates a strong atmosphere of suspense and terror. The soundtrack is also of high quality, with tracks that contribute to the game’s unsettling atmosphere.

One of the most interesting features of “Dagon” is its multiple-choice gameplay system, which offers the player various dialogue and action options. This system influences the game’s plot and the choices the player will have to make during their adventure. This means that each playthrough will be different from the others, with different endings and consequences for the choices made.

The game is not very long, lasting about four hours, but it offers a highly engaging and intense gaming experience. The gameplay mechanics are simple and intuitive but nonetheless enjoyable. The combination of exploration, puzzles, and combat creates a balanced mix of gameplay that keeps the player’s attention throughout the game.

“Dagon” is a game I recommend to all horror and Lovecraft enthusiasts. The plot, graphics, and soundtrack contribute to creating a very intense atmosphere of terror, while the multiple-choice system adds a replayability component to the game. If you’re looking for a unique and engaging horror gaming experience, “Dagon” is definitely a title to try.
