MazM, the creators behind Growing Seeds, have just released an enthralling short-form visual novel game on Android titled "The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy." This game immerses players into the dark and haunting universe inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's classic literature. Drawing heavily from Poe's chilling tales such as "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and "The Tell-Tale Heart," the game encapsulates the essence of Poe's themes of guilt, madness, and the blurred lines between reality and terror.

If you're familiar with Edgar Allan Poe's work, you'll recognize the atmosphere of dread and the omnipresence of death that permeates his stories. "The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy" mirrors this, placing you in a world where death is not merely an endpoint but a constant, haunting presence. The game delves into psychological horror, exploring themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable past that haunts us.

MazM's signature storytelling style shines through in "The Black Cat," offering a narrative-driven experience complemented by dark visuals and haunting music that perfectly capture the eerie essence of Poe's work. For a glimpse into the game's atmosphere, check out the trailer below.
