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.

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.
