MazM, also known as Growing Seeds, has launched an enthralling new short-form visual novel game on Android titled "The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy." This game immerses players in the dark, haunting universe inspired by the works of the iconic author Edgar Allan Poe.

Ever Read Edgar Allan Poe’s Work?

"The Black Cat" draws heavily from Poe's chilling tales, including "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and elements of "The Tell-Tale Heart." The game encapsulates the essence of Poe's storytelling, delving into themes of guilt, madness, and the unsettling blur between reality and nightmare. If you're familiar with Poe’s literature, you'll recognize the pervasive sense of death as a constant companion, intricately woven into the very essence of life, much like Poe intended.

In "The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy," players will navigate through a world filled with creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and the confrontation of dark thoughts that haunt the night. The horror is predominantly psychological, exploring profound themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable past that characters try to bury.

MazM has masterfully crafted this narrative-driven experience with its signature dark visuals and haunting soundtrack, perfectly complementing the eerie atmosphere of Poe's tales. You can get a glimpse of the game's atmosphere right here:
