GOG Digital Premieres - Call of Cthulhu Adventures

<span class="bold">Shadow of the Comet</span> and <span class="bold">Prisoner of Ice</span>, a mind-bending duo of Call of Cthulhu adventure classics, premiere digitally right now - DRM-free on GOG.com.

An original horror-adventure duo from Infogrames, (the company well known for their Alone in the Dark series) Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice are two of the very few games that get to boast actually taking place within the Call of Cthulhu mythos. With a pedigree like that, you can be sure that you're getting the best of the atmosphere and uncomfortable flavor of a true H.P. Lovecraft story.

Shadow of the Comet (Win + Linux) is the tale of a young British photographer out to capture a one-of-a-kind comet passing over an isolated New England town of Illsmouth. He discovers that the last person to attempt this spent the rest of his life in a high-security lunatic asylum. Soon, he'll also discover why… In Prisoner of Ice (Win + Mac + Linux) an indirect sequel to Shadow of the Comet, you're just another officer aboard the HMS Victoria - a military sub returning from a simple extraction operation. Just another run of the mill job, the target is safe and you're counting down the time till your shore leave. Little do you know, it's also a matter of time until you look straight in the eye of an ancient evil aboard.

Shadow of the Comet and Prisoner of Ice are terrifying 2D adventure games that received critical acclaim for successfully capturing the unique atmosphere of tales like "At the Mountains of Madness", "The Dunwich Horror", "The Shadow Over Innsmouth" and, of course, "The Call of Cthulhu". Whether you're a Lovecraft fan, or just searching for the right excuse to discover the legend - these are stories you have to experience.

Heed the call of Cthulhu in <span class="bold">Shadow of the Comet</span> and <span class="bold">Prisoner of Ice</span>, available now - DRM-free on GOG.com!
This is sooooooooooooo tempting... Great to see them here. Great work GOG!
Heh... 2 more Atari games.
wooooow!!!! thank you GOG!
Wow, nice. I wasn't expecting this. Shadow of the Comet shall be mine.
After i beat "Cthulhu Saves The World: The Super Hyper Enhanced Championship Edition Alpha Diamond DX Plus Alpha FES HD – Premium Enhanced Game of the Year Collector’s Edition" (i dont know why it isnt here) i will be definitely ready for this. Wishlisted so far.

nice looking oldies... will add to backlog at some point!
Wow, great releases.
Oh, nice -- I vaguely remember getting a copy of Prisoner of Ice from some magazine or collection, many years ago. Hm, might buy one or two of these.

I hope we'll get Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth eventually. Arguably one of the best Lovecraft themed games ever created, and a true classic of the Horror genre. ( Aside from the bugs, that is. No idea if those were ever fixed. )

Also, shouldn't that be "Innsmouth"?

Think they used a slightly different name so that people wouldn't just think of that short story (the plot of this game is very different).

That said, there's a reference in one scene.
Excellent games. Prisoner Of Ice is rather short and on the easy side, but a great game nonetheless.
Shadow Of The Comet is pure awesomeness.

Nice fortnight between this and the Warhammer games !
