The game follows the aged occultist, Dougald, as he desperately tries to track down his son, Fergus. All clues lead him to believe Fergus traveled to the small island of Blackhorn, just outside the coast of northern Scotland. Dougald is convinced he must save his son before Fergus discovers the ungodly knowledge buried deep beneath the island. But will his quest force him to uncover those very same secrets? Unearthing the long since abandoned ruins of lost civilizations, your cunning, endurance and sanity will be duly tested. Are you up to the task?

Great game, 100% completed after about 12 hours on my first playthrough. The puzzles and riddles are very well thought with a nice presentation through ingame screenshots and landmarks.
If I were to remark a possible issue, would be the lack of 'Fast travel' options, especially at the second area during mid game.
Overall is a solid 9/10 for me.
scimitri is a genius
