The Shadow Over Cyberspace blends cosmic horror with computer trouble as an eldritch laptop infects your mind and you seek the Old Ones’ help to rectify it.
Set in the year 1999, The Shadow Over Cyberspace is a very creative and darkly comedic visual novel modem-punk adventure where a hacker inadvertently purchases an eldritch laptop. This laptop has inflicted the hacker with a curse that’s unraveling their “meatspace”, and they now must seek the help of the Old Ones in the cyberverse or descend into madness.
The Shadow Over Cyberspace is a remarkably large adventure with several hours worth of story, filled with interesting characters, fun diversions and mysteries to unravel. The blend of cosmic horror and cyberspace works really well, with the Old Ones feeling right at home in their digital world. Meanwhile, the game delivers a remarkably serious and interesting message for such a high concept setting. Highly recommended.
