The Black Cat: Usher’s Legacy Is a New Visual Novel Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s Stories
MazM, also known as Growing Seeds, has released a new short-form visual novel game on Android. It’s called The Black Cat: Usher’s Legacy and it lets you dive deep into classic literature. The game is based on the eerie, unsettling world of Edgar Allan Poe’s stories.
The Black Cat takes inspiration from Poe’s short stories, particularly The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher, and a bit of The Tell-Tale Heart for good measure. It’s a ride full of guilt, madness and things that may or may not be real but are definitely terrifying.
If you’ve read these stories or any other work by the legendary author, you know how the stories are. The game does the same, throwing you into a world where death isn’t just an end but a presence. It’s something woven into the fabric of everyday life, just like Poe always wrote about.
The Black Cat is about creeping dread, hidden tragedies and confronting the things that lurk in the corners of your mind at night. The horror here is more psychological. You’ll be exploring deep themes of evil, fate and the things people try to bury but can never truly escape.
MazM has taken their signature approach to storytelling. The Black Cat is a narrative-driven game with dark visuals and haunting music that totally suits the vibe of the story. On that note, take a peek at it right here.
MazM has a knack for taking literary classics and making them into something new and unsettling. Their previous work includes the adaptation of Kafka’s Metamorphosis. With this game, they’ve adapted Poe’s gothic nightmares into a visual novel.
You can start playing the game for free, but you’ll need to pay to unlock the full story. If you’re eager to see what it’s like, check it out on the Google Play Store.
