Kadath is a multiple-choice text adventure based on the settings created by H. P. Lovecraft in his novella The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath. It features non-linear exploration, simple inventory puzzles, and a time limit based on the number of moves the player makes. After the protagonist discovers an ancient tablet during an archaeological dig and spends a decade translating it with the help of the Necronomicon and other diabolical writings, he finally deciphers its secrets. He has descended into the city of Yaddith, the ancient home of the Great Ones. To prevent their return, which will occur in fifteen days when the stars align, the Eye of Kadath must be found in order to summon the powers of the Great Ones and destroy the gate between worlds, thus saving humanity from their reign of terror.
