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 unveiled a captivating new visual novel for Android: The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy. This short-form game immerses players in the chilling world of Edgar Allan Poe.

Familiar Poetic Horror?
