About
Three men of loose virtue are enjoying a drink in a local tavern, when they overhear the story of a rich and feeble old man who lives in town. They soon plot to take his treasures...
This is a very short (and free) interactive adaptation of The Terrible Old Man, a short story by H.P. Lovecraft. The game was originally released back in 2015 - it was made in 30 days for the MAGS competition.
This Steam re-release features polished graphics, additional content, new music and Steam achievements!
Features:
- An adaptation of the classic H.P. Lovecraft short story.
- Traditional point and click adventure interface.
- Unsettling hand drawn graphics and animation.
- 640 x 360 widescreen resolution.
- HORROR!

I just found there is a Fan translation of this game made by the guys from Clan Dlan (site now gone). In their archives is still available https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VAtBZcx2e5bqyGvd-VONAXZ7V3vdwnH0/view
I don't know if it's for the Steam version or this one, i tested with the Steam one a little bit and it works.
An effective tribute to HP Lovecraft
This is more a short story adaptation than a game with actually just one real puzzle. It has a nice atmosphere with great use of dialog portraits.
this was a great story rich game for real! if you havnt played it play it I mean common its free so why not? if you just wanna see the game checkout my channel here I do all sorts of these kinda games and more.
