In this game, you play as H.P. Lovecroft, a serial killer. Killing civilians gives you an adrenaline rush, and when you're euphoric enough, the darkness within you sprouts outwards, granting you four pretty sweet tentacles. Don't try to take cops on without your powers, though, or you'll get shot!

W,A,S,D to move. Left mouse button to attack.

PS: Sprite quality suffers from a massive drop in the web version, for some reason.

Ok, this was interesting. I took very long to understand the controls since they are not explained. Seems to be a bit random when somebody appears. Also how far away you have to stay from the policemen. Music is cool.
The idea is also cool, but the implementation seems to be unfinished. It is possible to leave the playfield, controls should be explained.

Sprite quality is poor in web version. But I think the bigger problem is colour - if everything was monochromatic with touches of colour/blood here and there it would suit the music and concept better.

H.P.Lovecroft! Priceless! Got scared of myself when all those tentacles came out of my head, but I better now :P

It reminds me of my old games in Delphi 7 :-) Audio fits the game well. Keep going with making games.

Web link seems to be broken (403 error) and the executable complains about needing a resource folder (which I'm not downloading each file from dropbox individually for - sorry).

A pain in the butt to get to run, cool idea though
