![]() Or the Hawkins family mansion, with hidden rooms and an unhealthy amount of bookshelves. It could be the the port town of Darkwater, with its pub and fishy warehouses. When a level kicks off, you are in a small environment. On its eldritch surface, the moment to moment game play of Call of Cthulhu is very basic. ![]() As you saw above, it didn’t completely click with me. This is my second play through of this game. A prophecy is imminent, and Edward is right in the middle of it. Over the course of the plot, Edward uncovers a conspiracy and a cult that controls Darkwater Island and its inhabitants. The gibbous elevator pitch is as follows: You play as private investigator Edward Pierce as he is hired to look into the Hawkins family, who live in an enormous mansion on Darkwater Island. That on its own is quite promising, if not particularly ground-breaking. They are certainly a veteran studio, even if their output hasn’t always been the best.īut what kind of game is it? Call of Cthulhu is a linear first-person horror-adventure game that takes place with a Lovecraftian universe. They just released the insanely titled Werewolf: The Apocalypse - Earthblood earlier this year. It was made by Cyanide, who have been cranking out cycling games (?) since at least 2001. So why am I hear again? Am I a glutton for punishment?īefore we get into the why - and the point of this article - let’s get the basics out of the way.Ĭall of Cthulhu was released in 2018 onto most modern game consoles. I’m not sure how accurate the walking simulator line is, but the ‘diet-light environmental puzzles’ is spot-on. Especially if you’re a Lovecraft horror nut. If you can snag this game up for cheap (or maybe a rental?) I think you should do it. But being able to spend some slow time in a quaint little Lovecraftian world is kind of fun. It’s essentially a walking simulator with some very diet-light environmental puzzles. This game is…not anything that I wanted it to be. The other game I wanted to talk about is Call of Cthulhu. ![]() I wrote about it briefly on my author website in 2018. I didn’t love this game when I played it back then. When I booted it up for the second time, I questioned my choice almost immediately. It’s 2021 and I’m playing Call of Cthulhu again.
