Immerse in Edgar Allan Poe

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" and "The Fall of the House of Usher," with a touch of "The Tell-Tale Heart," The Black Cat delivers a haunting experience filled with guilt, madness, and terrifying realities (or are they?). Fans of Poe will recognize the signature style: death isn't merely an ending, but a palpable presence woven into the fabric of life.

The game masterfully evokes creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and the psychological horrors that lurk in the darkest corners of the mind. Themes of evil, fate, and inescapable pasts are explored with depth.

MazM's signature storytelling shines through. The Black Cat boasts a compelling narrative, dark visuals, and haunting music that perfectly capture the game's atmosphere. Check out the trailer below:

Dive into Poe's Gothic World

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 form.

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