Call of Cthulhu
The squids are all right
A new take on the Lovecraft mythos,
following 2005’s Dark Corners of the
Earth, this is again a first-person horror
adventure, but with added RPG
elements, based on the lauded tabletop RPG of
the same name. Developer Cyanide promises a
semi-open world, investigations, and stealth.
Psychological horror was Lovecraft’s stock-in-trade,
and we expect your sanity to play a large part in
the game. You’ll be playing as investigator Edward
Pierce, investigating the deaths of a family in a
creepy mansion, whose basement appears to be
packed with cultists. We also see him in a mental
asylum, which doesn’t bode too well on the
‘staying sane’ front and suggests you may have to
reconcile your experiences in some fashion.
Expect a helping of tentacled beasties too.
