The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy Is a New Visual Novel Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s Stories

MazM, the studio behind Growing Seeds, has unveiled a new short visual novel for Android: The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy. This chilling game plunges players into the unsettling world of Edgar Allan Poe's classic tales.

Familiar Poetic Horror

Drawing inspiration from Poe's iconic works, particularly The Black Cat and The Fall of the House of Usher, with elements of The Tell-Tale Heart, The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy delivers a gripping narrative filled with guilt, madness, and unsettling ambiguity. Fans of Poe will recognize the signature style: a world where death isn't merely an ending, but a pervasive presence woven into the fabric of daily life.

The game masterfully evokes creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and the psychological horrors that lurk in the darkest corners of the mind. Expect a journey into themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable 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:
