The Land of Pain is a Lovecraftian first person adventure that does a lot of things right with what I guess were not too many resources. It's a simple story that starts with a guy arriving to a cabin in the woods, but then things quickly get really weird. It's not a large game, it can be completed in around 3 hours, but it doesn't feel short. The story works really well. The only negative thing that bothered was the size of the maps and the backtracking. Some maps are really bug and it's easy to get lost. And on top of that, there are a few times where you need to run back and forth. Go find a key to open the door; now that you opened the door, go find a tool to clear the space; now that you cleared the space, go find this and that... and it's always very far from where you are.
Aside from that, great game.

2,5/5 stars. 4 hours of fun for Lovecraft-Fans. Unfortunately there story is mediocre, there are way to few things to learn and explore and the walking back and forth, collecting item a to open door a, then collecting item b to open door b etc gets tedious. "The Alien Cube" is waaaay better!
