Game Review (written by Eric) Added on: 01/07/2008
Shadow of The Comet is a single-player adventure game that features a unique and interesting plot.
The game revolves around John T. Parker, a British journalist and astronomer who becomes interested in the work of Professor Lord Boleskine. Professor Boleskine was actually driven to madness in 1834 after he made some startling discoveries while doing research on the passage of Haley’s comet. Boleskine actually prevented evil Gods from materializing during the passing of the comet that year.
Parker decides to write about a book on Boleskine’s work and decides to take photos of the passing of the comet.

saving the world.
The game starts in the town of Illsmouth 3 days before the passing of the comet. This amazing adventure game is riddled with challenges and is packed with suspense. From the initial goal of taking photos of the comet, you end up trying to save the world in 3 days!
Like other adventure games, you will go around and interact with the different people to get the information you need. You will also be picking up useful items along the way. You basically have to follow the linear plot, but the story is deep enough to keep you interested for a long time. As you explore the different parts of town and the forests, you will make more discoveries about your purpose. Some of the people will become your friends and provide you with valuable information while some will become your enemies. The exploration is a big part of the game and is what makes the game a thrilling experience.
There are good puzzles that you need to solve and the controls of the game is very easy to learn since it is mainly a point and click game.
The graphics of the game is very good and provides the right mood for the game. The animation is clean and the game is pretty colourful and interesting. The graphics works well in lending a dark feel to the game. Another interesting feature of the game is how movie actors like Jack Nicholson appears in the game.
This is a classic adventure game that is worth your time. Download it now and enjoy.

If you're an HP Lovecraft fan, you'll probably like this game a lot more than a non-HP Lovecraft fan and be more giving when it gets tough. The graphics are good, but a bit cheery-looking given the subject matter. The puzzles are hard, and occasionally a little too much of the click-hunt variety. But most of them make some sort of sense logically, and rarely did I find myself simply "using" every item in my inventory on an object to get a result. Lovecraft fans will get more out of it than other folks, but it's an enjoyable game overall.

Shadow of the Comet is one of the best horror games ever produced, with a gripping storyline based on Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos, good puzzles, wonderful atmosphere and characters.
