Over the past decade, Nightdive has proven itself to be one of the industry's premier studios for remasters, offering loving upgrades of both bonafide classics and bizarre old-school oddities alike. Studio head Stephen Kick has been tracking down the rights to one particular cult classic for the better part of a decade – only to find that very oddity has suddenly appeared on Steam from a publisher with virtually no history.
The game in question is The Dark Eye, which now has a Steam page under the title Edgar Allan Poe's Interactive Horror: 1995 Edition ahead of a re-release later this year. As the new title implies, this is a macabre point-and-click adventure based on the works of Poe, and one that especially stands out thanks to its bizarre puppet characters and nightmarish aesthetic.
