Black Cat Novel Unveils Usher

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 masterpieces, including The Black Cat, The Fall of the House of Usher, and elements of The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy delivers a captivating experience filled with guilt, madness, and terrifying, ambiguous realities. Fans of Poe's work will recognize the signature blend of psychological horror and inescapable dread. Death isn't merely an ending; it's a constant presence woven into the fabric of the narrative, mirroring Poe's distinctive style.

The game explores creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and the confrontation of inner demons. The horror is primarily psychological, delving into profound themes of evil, fate, and the consequences of buried secrets.

MazM's signature storytelling shines through. The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy features a compelling narrative, dark visuals, and haunting music that perfectly capture the game's atmosphere. See for yourself:
