The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy Is a New Visual Novel Based on Edgar Allan Poe’s Stories

MazM, the studio behind Growing Seeds, has unleashed a chilling new short-form visual novel on Android: The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy. Prepare to delve into the dark heart of classic literature, as this game draws heavily from the unsettling world of Edgar Allan Poe.

Ever Experienced the Eerie Genius of Edgar Allan Poe?

The Black Cat takes inspiration from Poe's most haunting tales, notably "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and elements of "The Tell-Tale Heart." Expect a journey steeped in guilt, madness, and a pervasive sense of dread where the line between reality and nightmare blurs.

If you're familiar with Poe's work, you'll recognize the signature style: a world where death isn't merely an ending, but a constant, chilling presence woven into the fabric of daily life. The Black Cat masterfully captures this atmosphere of creeping dread, exploring hidden tragedies and the psychological horrors that lurk in the darkest corners of the human mind. The game delves into profound themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable consequences of buried secrets.

MazM's signature storytelling shines through. The Black Cat features a compelling narrative, dark and evocative visuals, and a haunting soundtrack that perfectly complements the game's gothic atmosphere. See it in action:
