ooooh man i wanted to see the fish man up close...

in all seriousness, i feel like some of the interactive novel bits could have been swapped in favor of something more akin to a walking simulator or just cut. some sections just felt dragged out, and replacing those with some type of interactivity would have helped to keep the player interested (or me personally, at least). this and the camera constraints for each scene made the environments feel underutilized.
i can't really comment on the audio, i had a weird issue with the narration sounding weirdly balanced and compressed when using headphones. i'm not completely sure what caused the funkiness, when playing with my laptop speakers instead it sounded fine. I did enjoy the narration, it's at the level of a good audio book. the music adds nice ambience, but is otherwise forgetful.

overall, it's a good introduction to lovecraft's works, but know it's more of a kinetic visual novel more than anything.

bro i am full of joy and whimsy after playing this!!!

copy/paste of my steam review lol:
this is probably the best card management sim i have played. the art is so cute, i always enjoyed getting a new card just to see the illustration. i also really enjoyed the soundtrack, which i found impressive simply because lofi typically drives me to madness. the moon cycle moves at just the right speed that it kept me on my toes between making sure all my villagers lived and whatever self-imposed goal that i gave myself, but it wasn't stressful in the way that i find cultist simulator is. my one regret is that i should have bought this off of itch.io instead of steam. they're about the same cost in USD, but itch takes less in royalties and you can chose to pay the devs more as well (which they deserve!)
