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.

there are six skills: only two of them are useful, and two of them can only be raised by external sources (but not the same two)! there are two stealth sections before the concept is mostly abandoned. there's one

A wonderful game with deep story and solid gameplay. The horror isn't overdone, but it's definitely there and the game also features puzzels. I highly recommend this game because it has great replay value, with many

This entry largely consists of detective puzzle-solving, the stealth and gunplay are very stripped back. I can't say I was very thrilled while playing it, but I wouldn't say steer clear from playing it. Overall, it's

I typically do not enjoy things with the horror tag, but i've been interested in this game for ages and it wasn't as scary as i thought it would be. Which has been very nice. Got a few spooks here and there but the
