Lovecraftian love-in Call of Cthulhu – the story-driven role-playing game from Cyanide Studio – will meander to the mountains of madness from 30th October, publisher Focus Home Interactive has revealed. For those of you who don’t know, you’ll play as private eye Edward Pierce, as he explores the mysterious island of Darkwater investigating the murders of the Hawkins family.
As you can probably imagine, nothing is quite what it seems, and the title will depict poor ol’ Ed’s gradual descent into insanity. “Trust no one,” the press release reads. “Creeping shadows hide lurking figures, and all the while, the Great Dreamer prepares for his awakening.”
We’re looking forward to this one – it’s just a shame it’s coming out four days after Red Dead Redemption 2. Flippin' 'eck!

I'm reading Lovecraft these days, and I can feel my sanity slowly leaving my body every time.
I've been waiting for this... So excited!
@VotesForCows ha, my thoughts exactly. RDR2 is definitely a game I will purchase, but it can absolutely wait. Horror game = instant interest, Lovecraftian horror = 99.9% assured purchase! 🐙
@Cornaboyzzz Hope you’re enjoying the stories! Not only do we have Call Of Cthulhu to look forward to, but there’s also The Sinking City in March 2019. Hopefully they’ll be great 👍🐙
Cthulhu awakens!
Dont care for RDR but this game looked interesting the day i saw it. 😃
@Flaming_Kaiser I’m with you on this one. I think RDR was overrated, but I’m glad others enjoy it as much as they do. This game definitely has my attention though. Cthulhu usually destroys us in Eldrich Horror so maybe now I can take him down.
The first stuffed animal I ever bought my son, before he was even conceived, was a Cthulhu. Needless to say, I’m stoked for this game.
My master Cthulhu is calling.
@jacobia I didn't start the long stories yet, I'm still reading the short novels, and there are a lot ! Some are great, some are kinda useless, but all in all it's really addictive.
At the mountains of madness is probably my favorite book. And have def enjoyed many others. Most of the lyrics i write (im a musician) are lovecraftian in nature.
.. yeah im excited for this. Just hope it turns out well
@jacobia hey pal, my psn name is Gmork___ (those are 3 underscores lol) u should add me! Im also a HUUUUUUGE horror buff too! And any of you other horror afficianados, feel free!
@Gmork___ I’m not usually one for multiplayer games mind, but yeah, thanks very much, I’ll send an invite now.
Looks cool but will wait for a bargain bin sale more than likely.
