1924 wurde Privatermittler Pierce beauftragt, den tragischen Tod der Familie Hawkins auf dem abgelegenen Darkwater Island aufzuklären. Schnell wird Pierce in einen furchteinflößenden Strudel aus Verschwörungen, Kultisten und kosmischem Horror gezogen.
Nichts ist wie es scheint. Der Verstand schwindet und weicht Stimmen aus der Dunkelheit. Der Cthulhu-Mythos wird beherrscht von seltsamen Kreaturen, sonderbarer Wissenschaft und dunklen Kulten, die ihre wahnsinnigen Pläne versuchen zu verwirklichen, um das Ende der Welt herbeizuführen.
Dein Verstand wird leiden – deine Sinne wanken zwischen Vernunft und Wahnsinn, bis du alles um dich herum in Frage stellst. Traue niemandem. Du weißt nicht, was in der Dunkelheit lauert ... und währenddessen wartet der Große Träumer auf sein Erwachen.

This is a terrible, terrible game
This is a terrible game that does not deserve the title "official videogame". I lost a lot of respect for Sandy Petersen and Chaosium. It starts off well enough with a very Call-of-Cthulhu-esque "haunted house" sequence, that I loved. But it breaks down after that, and not in good ways. There is very little rhyme or reason to the sequences. One moment, the game is a detective game, the next a zombie shooter. In another sequence it's a puzzle platformer. The "RPG elements", i.e. the skill system, is tacked on and pointless. The graphics are mediocre, and the voice over is bad. The dialogue suffers from being written by someone who took English in high-school and thought an editor - or indeed, basic proof-reading - was a waste of time. I could forgive all that, but where the game really fails is where it counts: The Cthulhu Mythos. The writers obviously knew next to nothing about Cthulhu. For example, the "Mythos" is presented as a unified organization or force, which is just nonsense. If you want a third-rate horror game, buy this at a deep discount. If you are even somewhat knowledgeable about Lovecrafts works, or even a paper and pencil Call of Cthulhu player, avoid this completely. Some day someone will publish a decent Call of Cthulhu game. But this is not it.
Hilft dir das weiter?
