[Cronan]

It’s dark. Quiet. I swirl my tentacles through the water, brushing lightly against the stone walls and floor. I feel the skeletons move against my legs, mementoes of past glories, keepsakes from my visitors. It’s smaller down here than the swamp, and darker, but the food is better.

I hear my master’s voice through the grating, far above. He’s laughing. I like it when he laughs, I get fed when he laughs. I hear a scream, then a splash, then a voice, begging, pleading, crying. I hear my master cackle, then his voice grows distant as he walks away.

“What’s the time, Mr. Wolf?”

Dinnertime.

As always, it’s too dark to see, but I don’t need light. My dinner splashes through the waist-deep water, his every movement revealing where he is, allowing me to track him. I listen carefully, and as I get closer I can even hear his heart-beat. I smile, in anticipation, my jaw and teeth jutting forward, ready for the kill. I dive, just for the laughs, and surface right behind him. I wait, for a beat or two, and the drool drips from my mouth and onto his head. As he turns I strike, and the scream is as sweet as the meat. This one is strong, he’ll stay fresh for days if I start with the toes and fingers.

“In The Pit” is an audio-only game and requires good-quality stereo sound. You play a monster in a pit, hunting your victims using sound and touch only. As you’d hope, the audio is very good, with some impressive voice-acting. I played this game with my eyes shut, for the most part, turning my head like Clarice Starling in Jame Gumb’s basement. Your friends will love this game, turn the lights out, hand them the controller, and leave them alone in the pit.
