The Horror at Highrook

“With an intriguing story, classic horror and mystery tropes that align with the style and concepts behind its inspiration, in particular HP Lovecraft, The Horror at Highrook is a compelling and enjoyable investigation digital board game. It is not always obvious how to proceed, but a little determination proves rewarding and entertaining as you uncover the truth behind the cast of characters and the mansion they are investigating. It is a one-shot experience, though, so don’t let the board game aesthetic fool you.”

“The Horror at Highrook is a great pastime for fans of Lovecraft's stories and card & board games.

However, if you're looking for a relaxing card game in a horror-themed setting, The Horror at Highrook is a great choice for those sleepless summer nights.”

“For those seeking a unique entry point into TTRPGs, The Horror at Highrook is a satisfying starting course. It has issues that derail the fun, ranging from poor inventory management and lackluster leveling mechanics to the lack of any real hint system. It’s also a fairly linear affair, with little replayability (something at odds with its tabletop roots). Still, if you can embrace the flaws, there’s a fun little adventure waiting for you.”

“The Horror at Highrook really is worth a try, although it's not for those who are fresh to the puzzle investigation scene. The game gives an interesting blend of tabletop mechanics and card-building eldritch mystery games that tickles an itch for both the horror lore game hunters and the seasoned mystery sleuths.”
