Call of Cthulhu: Prisoner of Ice

How to enable old, american voices? Is this possible? I can only hear voices with British accent. I remember version from CD-Action and it had american dubbing - better than British IMHO.

And I loves it. It is hard, fairly short; but normal length at that time games was published, also computers was still mostly something your dad had in his office, and you only got the change when he was not home or he gave you permission to use it. Thanks GOG for letting me replay my childhood adventure game.

Buy the game and experience it yourself but preferably it's much more entertaining to watch the Retsuprae play through and save your money because It hasn't even been a year since I went through that and all I can remember is "My engines my engines!"

I found myself enjoying this game much more than the first Call of Cthulu (Shadow of the Comet). It has far better controls/interaction/interface (true point & click), well-timed auto-save feature (really tones down the frustration when you die), and more linear progression, which I prefer. Also, no pseudo-mazes, and no need to keep notes. The option to keep the written dialogue on screen until you click was a very pleasant addition to a non-native english speaker like me. Considering its age, I fount it to have good graphics, atmospheric soundtrack, nice voice acting (I chose to play the US edition first, maybe I'll update when I decide to play the UK version too), and it run very smoothly on a Windows XP system. Minus half a star for the small duration (finished it it within a weekend), and another half star for some minor pixel hunting (only two times did I use a walkthrough, both of which were pixel-hunting related) All in all, a value-for-money purchase (especially for anything under 5$, as I bought it on sale)

I've just finished this game and had no issue with save bug. However, on a couple of occasions after starting the game the controls were not working. Restarting the game solved the issue each time so that's not a big deal. This is a classic point&click adventure game inspired by the writings of HP Lovecraft. The art is very good and the music matches the game well adding tension to it. The game itself is not as dark as Lovecraft's stories, but it is captivating nevertheless. Especially the first act on a submarine feels very good. There is plenty of tension there given the small space and given the events unfolding. I found this game overall a bit short and not too difficult. There was only one time I got stuck for a while. Most of the puzzles make sense and are logical; the only one a bit far-fetched was the one I got stuck on. The plot is decent though I think the first half of the game is much better than the second half. It is as if the creators either lost the thread of the game or were rushed to finish it. As mentioned in the other reviews, the game strays too much from the Lovecraftian theme towards Indiana Jones. But the first two acts were excellent. The other issue I had with the games are the timed events. I have no problem with such sequences per se, but there were a few too many of them. Fortunately, the game saves just before them so you don't lose progress, but repeating the same sequence 10+ times is not always fun. Fans of Lovecraft might also be disappointed that the game, expect for some cutscenes in the 2nd half of the game, is not as dark and gritty as Lovecraft's novels. Overall, I had very enjoyable experience playing this game and would recommend it to wider audience of players, not just those interested in puzzle games.
