er... ever heard of something called "meter"? about 10% of the lines are too long. 'I remember the news guy once said, "shoot the zombies in the head!' " - would work much better with "as I recall, the news guy said, ..." and so forth. the ultra-drawn-out ooooorrrreeeee's are also getting annoying - but i love the idea itself so much that i still have to give it a 5/5

Excellent work. Neither high literature nor innovative game mechanics but an excellent mashup of two existing classics. 5/5

Good little escape game - and this from someone who normally doesn't like the genre. 4/5 for some miinor flaws. Did not like the voice acting - got on my nerves after a few minutes. The mirror puzzle and the fusebox puzzle have very small hotspots. Took WAY too long to hit the right pixels. On the plus side, the phot-realistic enviroment was great (Anybody else notice the cat wandering around?). The cleverness of the poetry was also very good - especially as it's based on one of my all-time favorites.
Quoth the critic, "Do one more!"

God that voice is horribly annoying, a terrible bit of voice acting. Its about as close to entertainment, as marilyn manson is to goth.

Well done game, please get a voice actor or stop trying to be 'creepy'. Clever rhymes playing on Poe's classic, just please get someone else.

interesting witty gamebut i almost stopped playing at the begining becouse of the rather loud bangs stopping me from hearing the great voice work you did and the movement from room to room could have been easier to understand other than that a very well done game bravo

I never thought I would one day/have the odd privilege to say/that I saw sweet Lenore again/(though she was after my poetic brain)/But I do love those rhymes galore

wasnt too bad, wasnt really my kind of game the way you designed it and with the naration. but its certainly an origonal approach and for the most part it was logical (hate those point and click games where you use a cup to climb a ladder or something stupid like that) so allthough i didnt really enjoy it ill still give it 4/5 for the execution :)

T'was a chilling tale,
The owner of one such wail.
In dark of night,
One would surlely flight.
Against such horrors seen before,
It makes me wish even more.
To be free from the dark,
To once again listen to the lark.
But where does fate lie,
Am i to die?

I just wish it was more clear what the premise was by looking at the picture for the game. To me it seemed previously childish and lame; something that would likely bore.

His voice does sound like he is sick/The cough drop didn't help a bit/His words are all scratchy and deep/It makes him sound like a mad freak/It's enough to make my eardrums sore.
Great game, 5/5.

The narration was good, but the 'ore' parts were drawn out to much you should have let it flow. It gives an eerie feeling when you don't go "moooooooooooooooooooore" but if you want to draw them out don't be so quiet when you do so, no monotonous voices either. 5/5 Great game!

Fun game, great idea and good work on the poems. But, I'll have to agree with insidion, the attempt at being "creepy" and drawing out the last word of each stanza was pretty bad.
