 frustrating and quite scattershot at the start, as you pick random doors without much thought or precision. It might have made more sense to include the map from the very beginning, but perhaps the idea was to lengthen this short game as much as possible, which trundling around for direction certainly does.

If you do end up in the room with a hulking Shoggoth, you’ll kickstart a reaction mini-game. In this you’ll need to quickly choose one of three rooms for the protagonist to run through, with a timer at the bottom ticking down as the monster gets progressively closer to chomping on you. Not-so-cryptic advice will appear to hint at where you need to go. For example, when the three doors are marked with an eagle, a shark and grass symbol, the hint tells you to “follow the path of the earth”. This mini-game adds some much-needed change of pace to Lovecraft Quest – unless you keep dying. If you do, it soon becomes clear that although beginning in a different room each time, the sequence of scenarios you have to react to are exactly the same every time. A little bit of variety even in the order of the situations would have kept this more exciting, but maybe that says more about the amount of times I died than anything!

Other threats don’t take up quite as much time. Smelling a “foul stench” means a Dagon (another mythical Lovecraft monster) is near. You can choose a room to fire a gun into in the hope that it’ll hit the slimy beast, but if you’ve chosen incorrectly and don’t wound the creature, the sound will alert it and you’ll be gobbled up whole. There’s also no mini-game or second chance in avoiding the bottomless pits – if you step into a room containing one, it’s back to the start of the floor.

Once you’ve sidestepped the traps and found your piece as well as the puzzle it fits into, it’s time to get solving so you can open the door to the next floor. Both of the first two floors have quite similar puzzles – one featuring tiles in the wrong places that need to be slid into the right sequence to depict an image (Cthulhu!), and the other consisting of four cogs which each need to be turned so that they too form a picture the right way round. Both of these tasks
