Description Steam (Français)
Darkham, avec ses toits en mansarde tordus, ses allées sombres et un passé enveloppé de mystère, n’a jamais été une ville accueillante, mais de nos jours ? Des adeptes barjos apparaissent partout et le Nécronomicon, le livre le plus maléfique, fait de nouveau parler de lui.
Le détective Don R. Ketype est sur la trace du mystérieux livre maléfique, mais Buzz Kerwan, un bibliothécaire qui ne se doute de rien, tombe dessus par hasard et transforme accidentellement son chat, Kitteh, en une véritable abomination parlante. Être humanisé ? Quel déclassement.

Avis des joueurs Steam
Un point 'n click comme on les aime dans l'univers de Lovecraft. On y trouve beaucoup d'humour cynique et de sarcasme, ce qui donne une narration vraiment intéressante et qui donne envie de s'attarder sur des conversations absurdes avec certains pers...

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Every fan of traditional point n click adventures must play and support Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure. A really solid and complete game, including humorous dialogues, smart (but not very difficult) puzzles and a unique cast of characters, with only drawback its relatively short duration. »
« All in all, Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure is a game that no self-proclaimed point-and -click fan should overlook, as it will definitely find a place in your gaming library, comedy movie collection, and finally, your heart. »
« Forget about the Cthulhu in its title; you don’t need to be a fan of Lovecraft to enjoy this accomplished point and clicker. Gibbous – A Cthulhu Adventure will tickle your funny bones with its dialogue and won’t leave you flummoxed when faced with its puzzles. And because of that it’s fun from beginning to end. It isn’t groundbreaking in any way, but did anyone expect it to be? It’s just yet another very good entry into a genre that remains ever popular. »
« Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure is a quality title which offers engaging story, wonderful visual design, and most importantly remains loyal to its source. Obviously some issues and problems are here and there that might hurt the experience a little especially for hardcore adventure fans, but overal I would definitely recommend it. »
« A Cthulhu Adventure is a real treat, and one of the most enjoyable games of its genre and textual influence I’ve played in a long while. It isn’t the longest game by any means, but there are many Easter eggs and cool horror references hidden away to find. Stuck In Attic have excelled themselves with this genuinely funny game and I look forward to seeing what they have to offer next. The one major bugbear throughout this is why they didn’t call it Gibbous: A Cathulhu Adventure. »
« Excellent graphic adventure that is inspired by the LucasArts classics and the work of Lovecraft to offer a plot full of humor and mystery. »
« Gibbous is a charming, old school point&click-adventure with a Lovecraftian twist. Despite it being very much inspired by older titles, Gibbous, for the most part, avoids overly complicated and farfetched solutions to its riddles. Instead, it relies on a lot of wit and attention to detail. The humor is a tad too meta in the beginning of the game, but feels a lot more natural later on. While the story is decent, its ending leaves a bit to be desired. »
« I’ve played my fair share of indie games, but few felt as polished as Gibbous: A Cthulhu Adventure. A great deal of care has gone into its production, and despite getting pretty dark and serious towards the end, the memorable characters kept me glued and did a fantastic job of propelling the story forward — in every aspect, it’s a fine introduction to the point-and-click genre also title worthy of any veteran. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« [SPOILER ALERT: This review contains spoilers.] »
« It's pretty good! Great visuals and you can play a CAT. This alone deserves bonus points. I didn't have too much trouble with the voice acting. »
« Good graphics, kinda funny game, love the small references and nice music and ambience too. I love it! »
« Amazing 13 hours spent in a beautiful and very vivid universe with bright, dark colours and loads of real life references, zingers and challenging puzzles. Not sure how much I paid but it was worth every last pence of it! »
« I'd like to say that this game is an object lesson in the importance of not hiring bad voice actors to perform good dialogue. Unfortunately, it's an object lesson in the importance of not hiring the worst voice actors on the planet to perform very mediocre dialogue. »
« An incredibly good modern adventure game that sets off in various noir-themed scenaries from around the world (including the devs' hometown) which are very well ambiented and very immersive, with a beautiful graphical style, incredibly good dub and some incredibly funny voice lines, very recommended. »
« One of best adventure games I played. I played it twice, and I love it so much. Beautiful drawings, funny dialogs, interesting puzzles. I am really looking forward to next games like this from this studio. »
« It is a good effort and visuals are actually beyond that. It has funny moments, but overall I would say it falls into the same pit as The Book of Unwritten Tales. If you make fun of clichés a central part of your narrative, I would expect you tobring something new to the table. I liked the references to Lovecraft and the wordplay involved. »
