MazM, also known as Growing Seeds, has recently launched a captivating short-form visual novel game on Android titled "The Black Cat: Usher's Legacy." This game immerses players in the chilling universe inspired by the classic works of Edgar Allan Poe. Drawing heavily from Poe's tales such as "The Black Cat," "The Fall of the House of Usher," and even "The Tell-Tale Heart," the game encapsulates themes of guilt, madness, and the blurring lines between reality and terror.
If you're familiar with Edgar Allan Poe's literature, you'll recognize the atmosphere of dread and psychological horror that permeates his stories.

It explores profound themes of evil, fate, and the inescapable nature of buried secrets. MazM's distinctive storytelling style shines through with its narrative-driven approach, complemented by dark visuals and haunting music that perfectly encapsulate the eerie ambiance of Poe's world.
