Description

Call of Cthulhu, the official videogame inspired by Chaosium's classic pen and paper RPG, brings you deep into a world of creeping madness and shrouded Old Gods within Lovecraft's iconic universe.

1924. Private Investigator Pierce is sent to look into the tragic death of the Hawkins family on the isolated Darkwater Island. Soon enough, Pierce is pulled into a terrifying world of conspiracies, cultists, and cosmic horrors.

Nothing is as it seems. Sanity is an irregular bedfellow, all too often replaced by whisperings in the dark. Strange creatures, weird science, and sinister cults dominate the Cthulhu Mythos, intent on realizing their mad schemes to bring about the end of everything.

Your mind will suffer - between sanity and psychosis, your senses will be disrupted until you question the reality of everything around you. Trust no one. Slinking shadows hide lurking figures… and all the while, the Great Dreamer prepares for his awakening.

A Mediocre Treatment of a Great IP

Title kinda says it all. I played it all the way through, so it didn't suck, but I was pretty consistently disappointed the entire time. I think it was my love of the franchise and hope that the game would improve, or that the story would have some unique twist or reveal, that carried me all the way to the end... But no. The end was just kinda, meh. Not the worst game I've ever played, and I did make it all the way to the last cutscene. But having made it this far, I wouldn't mind getting my time refunded.

Buggy mess

I really want to like this game, but the bugs makes it impossible. Starting off immidiatly with a bug that makes it impossible to walk forward and having to change controls to something random, then back to what they were before you can move right is not a great start. NPC's that wont go where they're supposed to. Doors that wont open when they're supposed to. Light that doesnt shine at all. Its a mess.

One of the best Lovecraftian Game!!!

From second 1 I was completle invested. The writing, the setting, the story. Everything about this game just made me either grin or had my mouth agape. I see much replay value, just to see if my choices actually matter. I am in love!

In the Mouth of Madness

Call of Cthulhu is a really good game with some technical weaknesses. Highly recommended for horror and Lovecraft fans. Unfortunately, the character design and animations are less than perfect; overall, you'd think the game was meant to be released back in the Xbox 360 days. I also encountered a keyboard issue at the beginning of the game (ZQSD instead of WASD), but that was quickly fixed.
