Conarium Reviews
An interesting experience for Lovecraft readers, Conarium keeps our attention if we enjoy the classic adventures but also feels a little slow and rythmless.

Conarium is hauntingly beautiful and competent as an adventure-puzzle game with some light horror elements, but as a true H.P. Lovecraft survival horror game it isn't long or scary enough.
We are before a great adventure that manages to capture, and capture, excellently the universe and mythology of Lovecraft. A game of exploration, that although it is something simple, we put the fear in the body on more than one occasion and that thanks to its ridiculous price, € 19'90, it becomes a great temptation to spend time between triple A and Triple A.

Conarium is short but enjoyable game with a gripping storyline and beautiful animation. But it's not much horror as it is Lovecraftian. If you are into plots in the style of the influential horror fiction author, you should probably check it out.
Conarium is an homage to Lovecraft and his "At the Mountains of Madness". Despite the scarce interaction, the walking simulator structure and the lenght (3 hours, more or less), it deserves a try.

Cthulhu doesn't chase strong, bearded space marines down hallways. He and the many old gods slowly bend the minds of their victims until they've lost them completely, and Conarium reflects that.
Conarium came out of nowhere and surprised me when I finally played it. It takes a few moments to get into it, but when it ramps up, it gets pretty good. Give it a shot if you enjoy adventure games and a decent horror story.
Conarium could have pushed deeper, but it stays true to the spirit of Lovecraft's work
Conarium is a successful, playable H.P. Lovecraft story. The game can be mastered without major problems, but doesn't rely on hard head shots in gameplay and puzzles. Conarium is a classic point & click adventure with a playing time of about four to five hours, which convinces by its atmospheric implementation.

A Lovecraft story, in a modern setting, and it is a remarkable journey. It has its issues here and there, but the overall experience is great. What's not to delve into unknown terrors?
Conarium is a game that has its own way to structure the high tension. It's clear that most of the dark atmospheres are products of our imagination, while we clarify the purpose of this expedition. The locations are able to shape pictures out of thoughts and premonitions. Better puzzles and a more complex inventory, would have made this game a complete product. Anyway, Conarium has the right to join that group of video games that honour the "lovecraft" style, that style able to create an incomparable horror genre, thanks to its genius and madness.

Conarium is a truly atmospheric Lovecraftian adventure game which represents the genre perfectly. Set mainly after the novella “At the Mountains of Madness”, the events that happened prior unfold as our protagonist learns of them at the same time we do through many documents and visions which are both disturbing and informative. As an adventure game, expect a lot of walking around and puzzles to solve, with a small ‘run and hide’ segment, yet the gameplay never drags as it remains suspenseful and exciting throughout the whole experience.
The plot can be a little vague at times, and the opening hour is fairly meandering, but Conarium is an otherwise exciting, creepy jaunt through the realm of unspeakable evil.
Conarium is another great contribution to the already numerous family of Lovecraft games. The fans of horror adventure games should be unequivocally satisfied and everyone else should at least have an ideal opportunity to try the genre.

Conarium manages to remain faithful to the legendary worldview of H. P. Lovecraft, although it shares the same problems and weaknesses in transferring the original material.
