Description
In 1834, in the small New England fishing village of Illsmouth, the
distinguished British scientist Lord Boleskine lost his mind. After studying
ancient manuscripts of evil repute, he had travelled to this place to
observe the passing of Halley's comet. What he observed that night, however,
turned him into a raving lunatic. Now, 76 years later, Halley's comet is
coming back, and young astronomer John T. Parker has travelled to Illsmouth
to try to uncover the truth in Boleskine's wild claims, and see the comet
for himself.
Shadow Of The Comet is a unique horror adventure, inspired by
the terrifying writings of
H. P. Lovecraft.

Trivia
On your first day at Illsmouth, try to examine (using the 'L' key) Curtis Hambelton (who lives near the harbour) or Wilbur Hambelton (you can find him at the general store) to see something... "Very odd, indeed!".
The rather ghastly meaning of what you'll see will become clear to you at a later part of the game.
