Why play it

The Dark Rites of Arkham is a 2026 Adventure, Point-and-click game rated 9.8/10 from 636 ratings, with a main story of about 6h, available on PC (Microsoft Windows).

A macabre ritual murder puts Arkham PD detectives Jack Foster and Harvey Whitman to the test. As the investigation progresses, they will unveil a disturbing connection between the Salem witch trials of the 17th century and the end of humankind.

Story and worldbuilding

Detective Jack Foster rejoins the police department after a traumatic incident to take over the investigation of what appears to be mere political blackmail. Soon, however, he's faced with the discovery of a gruesome ritual murder that took place in a sealed room, from which no one could have gotten in or out without being seen. Along with his new partner, Harvey Whitman, an expert on cults, Foster dives deep into the shadows of the city of Arkham. The case will get even darker when they find out it is related to three witches that escaped the Salem trials in 1693, and a conspiracy that could put an end to the world as we know it.

This is a confident noir point-and-click that excels in mood and world-building, even if it sometimes struggles to keep its focus.

Postmodern Adventures has once again delivered a true gem. Although this game isn’t without its flaws either, the excellent adventure and its overall presentation make it easy to be far more forgiving. In light of the absolutely terrific atmosphere, it’s painfully disappointing that the story’s ending feels rushed. Fans of classic adventure games should definitely take note, and for players who love Lovecraftian themes, it’s an outright must-play.
