Summary
Rock, Paper, Shotgun has published an article about The Horror at Highrook, a horror RPG and card game featuring a house that reveals more of its mysteries as players explore, resembling the gameplay of Darkest Dungeon and Cluedo.
The game is created by Tom Betts, a former Big Robot lead programmer and while a demo is currently available on Steam, the article cautions that it still contains some rough edges which will be refined in the final version.
The game is akin to Cultist Simulator, which the article suggests it resembles in its use of the paranormal and aesthetically in its card design.
Writing in the game is described as being “too opulent” and the accents of some characters are a little vague, nevertheless, the author remarks that these are minor flaws and the game is worth trying out.
Readers can find the demo on Steam and are also encouraged to try Blue Prince, another demo game with a different style.
