Hi! I am contacting creators/developers on behalf of a graduate researcher studying how Lovecraft is represented in games. If you have time to complete a 10-minute survey about Dagon, please send a message to: masonsmith [at] tamu [dot] edu.

I love this story, it was the first tale i read by Lovecraft. Great adaptation, loved the artwork. I did a video of it, i hope you don't mind!

Thank you, I don't mind one bit, in fact, I am honoured. That was a great reading of Lovecraft, I know that author's work is very difficult to read out loud without messing up too many times. The audio you added worked perfectly as well.

Dagon was also the first Lovecraft story I've read.

The honour was mine, thanks for watching the video. I added the audio purely to try to hide the sound of my video cards' fans, it often sounds like an airplane taking off in the background which is hidden by game noise but becomes very apparent when there is none., I'm glad you felt it complemented your game. Thanks again, I may try reading another Lovecraft story and record that, and will definately take a peek at your other games, see if I can make another video.
