Introducing 'The Black Cat', a Novel Inspired by Poe

MazM's latest Android release, The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy, immerses players in the chilling world of Edgar Allan Poe. This short-form visual novel draws inspiration from Poe's iconic tales, including "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and elements of "The Tell-Tale Heart," crafting a narrative steeped in guilt, madness, and unsettling realities.

Familiar Poetic Horror

Fans of Poe's work will recognize the signature style: a world where death is not merely an ending, but a pervasive presence woven into daily life. The Black Cat focuses on creeping dread, hidden tragedies, and the confrontation of inner demons. The horror is primarily psychological, exploring themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable consequences of buried secrets.

MazM's signature storytelling shines through, with dark visuals and a haunting soundtrack perfectly complementing the game's atmosphere. View the trailer below:
