    Uhhhhh are we sure we WANT a 100 percent accurate adaptation of anything Lovecraft wrote? The whole extreme racism thing seems like it might be an issue.

      Relax, there are no cats with peculiar names in Dagon.

      Btw. I’ve played the original version and it was a quite short storytelling of the original novel with close to none interactivity. Not sure what the complete edition have added.
