Best Cthulhu Game ever [Posted on 2007-03-07]
I loved this game despite the annoying save feature and the frustrating time sequences. It was still the best HP LOvecraft based game ever made. I was so looking forward to the 2 sequels hoping that slight improvements would have made a perfect game. Now the company is no more! That sucks!

Probably the most Lovecraftian game ever to be made [Posted on 2007-06-01]
I waited years and years for this game to come out, checking in on the forum belonging to the now vanished company again and again for news about this game based on the literary works of Howard Phillips Lovecraft, the well-known author of horror and weird tales in the early 1900's. To make a long story short, through the work of a single individual with helpers, the game finally came out AFTER the company was gone, and that is the reason for the few bugs remaining in the game (there might be an update available by now, I don't know). There is though help available for how to avoid the bugs, and thereby enable you to enjoy this magnificent game. The story is mostly based on "The Shadow of Innsmouth", a classic tale of degeneration and despair, and one of my 3 personal favourites in the HPL canon.

The pc-game really is an electronic version of the classic pen & paper RPG "The Call of Cthulhu", and I enjoyed every second of it to the fullest. You will crawl and run and sneak around investigating why someone is trying to kill you in Innsmouth, what happened to a missing grocery clerk and basically what is really going on in and around town, with all kinds of scary incidents occurring. Basically, if you've read the tale, you'll now play it. The game is excellently made, and if they had only made more games so true to HPL's fantastic tales, I would be a much happier man.

The few bugs in the game are easy to crack, and once you've done this, you'll have on your hands a game that is almost right-along up there with "Planescape : Torment" in depth and story.

(I played the PC version)

if you are a true Lovecraft fan you'll love it [Posted on 2007-06-27]
Very good game, the story is great and those who are haedcore fans of Lovecraft will love it, I just wish it had the option to play on third person view, FPS are so 1990 ;)

waste of money [Posted on 2007-11-25]
This could be a great game, except for the fact that you will be forced to play the same scenes over and over until you get the timing right. Run, open door, lock door, open next door, lock door, move cabinet, open door, lock door. Oops, I accidentally opened the door instead of locking it. Let me watch the cutscene again and try to get the timing right this time...

Don't waste your money.

you love CTHULHU? you know you need this... [Posted on 2008-01-02]
if you've played any previous call of cthulhu games, you know what it's all about. fear, ancient evil, your eventual insanity. no happy endings here. another cthulhu-themed classic.
