While playing through Song of Horror, I found myself utterly enamoured by it. In fact, I thought that the game was downright brilliant in the way it melded some very great gameplay ideas with a truly harrowing story of madness, desperation, and terror in the wake of certain doom. In this video, I analyze the brilliance of Song of Horror and argue why the game deserves to be a beloved modern masterpiece.
