I love a good Lovecraft adaptation. The presentation is super stylish--I love the texture of the linework, the hand-drawn feel, and the desaturated palette. The point-and-click portions worked very well. The tape player was very well implemented and fun to use (I did notice one bug: If you insert a new tape without hitting Stop Listening, it will show the text of the new tape but play the audio of the old tape). Lovecraft's prose is hard to read, but your voice cast is tackling it like champs. My main issue is that the instructions were so leading--the repeated prompts to use your left mouse button to click on things, to look around for useful objects, to listen to the tapes, etc. (Then again, I could well believe that you put those in because you had players who just genuinely didn't try to click on anything.)
