MazM, the studio behind Growing Seeds, has unveiled a captivating new short-form visual novel on Android: The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy. This chilling game plunges players into the unsettling universe of Edgar Allan Poe's classic tales.
Familiar Poe?
Drawing inspiration from Poe's masterpieces, 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 gripping narrative filled with guilt, madness, and terrifying, ambiguous realities.
