Call of Cthulhu
Official Description (Ad Blurb)
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.
- 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.
Remote Play requires PS Vita system and sufficiently robust Wi-Fi connection.

Atmospheric game for Loveraft fans
The Good
I really liked the atmosphere this game managed to set. Its a horror theme but not really scary tbh. I set out to expect a pretty straight plot but was pleasantly surprised how the choices ended up effecting the story or rather the outcome of if.
Gameplay is pretty basic and easy to get into, even after a pause. I loved to search around the place and fleshout the world from items, books, buildings and surroundings.
The soundscape and voiceacting was done well and some characters definitely made a lasting impact. I really liked the visual style of this game. The graphics are really appealing. I guess you could expect more from 2018 game but I think they've made a good use out of the engine they had.
The Bad
There could've been more puzzles, deciphering and investigation stuff. The game mostly constists of searching for interactable objects and activating stuff in order to progress. Some enemy encounters which seemed pretty easy.
The Bottom Line
Good game for the Lovecraft fans. Multiple endings and variation in dialogue make the game replayable and I really look forward to going through the game again to rethink some of the choices I made. Visually striking and atmospheric. Story and branching dialogue is the best assets of the game.
