Upon entering the car, the camera then cuts to Ophelia behind the creepy, shadowy Brother Barnstable, who is ominously glaring directly at the player and looking as though he might reach out of the screen and grab them at any second.

She melts into a grotesque puddle of flesh, apparently with her teeth falling out in the process. She awakens Shub-Niggurath, but ends up serving as a sacrifice to him. Baroness Vonaburg's aka Alicia Blackwood death.But Gregor? He's become a skeleton, still sitting in the exact position as he is in the past and present.

The crazy farmer you met in the first episode? He dies in the Cold Open of episode 3, implicitly as a result of Demonic Possession, and if you click aimlessly too much, he'll come back to life with a pair of red eyes, and start to hunt you down.

The next episode while better-lit (at first) is just as creepy.

Ophelia finds the withering corpse of Alvin Carter in a closet, and with each wrongful mouse click, the portrait of the elderly woman in the upstairs hallway starts bleeding from the eyes, and the painting slowly transforms into Ophelia, who upon the complete transformation of the woman jumps from the window above the cavern at the bottom of the cliff.

A lot of aspects of it are quite dated by today's standards, but several elements have aged surprisingly well imo, and while it's not on the level of the point and clicks major studios of the day were putting out, it's ridiculously ambitious and well crafted for a simple Flash game series, I'd say. I personally have a lot of nostalgic attachment to it (all other things aside, it was my gateway drug to both point and clicks and to HPL and the genre he pioneered). An old browser Flash game series from the late 90s / early 2000s, Arcane was a point and click loosely based on and set in the Lovecraft mythos, which used to be playable for free on the Warner Bros website.
