Conarium

Conarium is an eerie Lovecraft game that tells a captivating story about four scientists and their quest to question what we usually consider the "absolute" limits of nature. The game was inspired by H.P. Lovecraft's novella "At the Mountains of Madness", but is largely set after the original story. As Frank Gilman, you open your eyes in a room filled with strange, pulsating sounds. A strange device on the table shows you patterns of light performing a danse macabre on the walls. You can't remember anything other than being in Upuaut, an Antarctic base near the South Pole. You find the place deserted and have a feeling that something is wrong. Somehow, the knowledge that your memories cannot guide you reinforces a strange sense of vulnerability, a familiar yet alien feeling of being part of a strange whole.... Soon you discover that during the expedition you used the device, died, but then returned changed, talking of strange memories and strange places. You have lost something important or gained something sinister.... Explore the Antarctic base, but also dreams and visions. Investigate clues, uncover secrets, but avoid macabre creatures at all costs.
