Gibbous - A Cthulhu Adventure is a PC Mac Linux comedy point 'n click love letter to classic-era Lucas Arts adventures, Hitchcock, HP Lovecraft, and many, many others. A lighthearted spoof of the Cthulhu Mythos, Gibbous will have you controlling 3 protagonists, dealing with strange cultists, ancient voodoo, and Dead Cthulhu himself. Well, "dead" is just a matter of opinion... But you really came here for the bullet points, didn't you? Alright, here ya go:
-Classic point and click gameplay inspired by the great Lucas Arts games of yore!
-Traditional frame by frame animation, just like back in the days (well, maybe a bit more frames)
-Detailed, hand-painted background art!
-Hugely diverse orchestral soundtrack!
-Unique responses for item-hotspot combinations!
-A focus on exploration and examining the environment!
-Loving and respectful spoof of the Cthulhu Mythos
-DRM-free or Steam Key!
-Made in Transylvania!
This was taken from their kickstarter here where you can also find a free demo:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/777841902/gibbous-a-cthulhu-adventure/description
The project meanwhile has been funded so the game will be made.
However at the moment this means that the game will have general voice over and English subtitles only. They plan to do subtitles in English, French, Italian, German and Spanish (EFIGS) but they need more money to do this - it is a stretch goal. So I would like everybody who likes classic adventures and/or Cthulhu and/or hand drawn professional animation and/or humour to go to the kickstarter site and back their project (every $ counts).
You can also help by voting on it on the GOG community wishlist here:
https://www.gog.com/wishlist/games/gibbous_a_cthulhu_adventure
The devs have made clear that they want to be on GOG, don't like DRM and thet they also want to give the opportunity as rewards for backers to chose GOG codes if GOG will have them. They also are extremely sympathetic and their work imo speaks for them. It's their first project so I ask this great community to help them.
P.S.: Sorry if this should be regarded as spam but I just want to give this amazing adventure a platform.
P.P.S: Please spread the kickstarter link to everybody who might be interested.
