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

MazM's latest visual novel, The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy, plunges players into the chilling world of Edgar Allan Poe. This Android short-form game draws inspiration from Poe's iconic tales, including "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and elements of "The Tell-Tale Heart," crafting a narrative steeped in guilt, madness, and unsettling realities.

Familiar Poe, Reimagined:

Fans of Poe will recognize the signature blend of psychological horror and creeping dread. Death isn't merely an ending; it's a pervasive presence woven into the fabric of life, mirroring Poe's masterful storytelling. The game explores deep themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable consequences of buried secrets.

MazM's signature style shines through, with dark visuals and a haunting soundtrack perfectly complementing the game's atmosphere. Experience it firsthand:

Dive into Poe's Gothic Nightmares:

MazM continues its tradition of reimagining literary classics, following their successful adaptation of Kafka's Metamorphosis. The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy offers a unique visual novel experience, transforming Poe's gothic horror into an engaging interactive narrative.

The game is free to start, but unlocking the complete story requires a purchase. Download it now from the Google Play Store.
