Nearly 20 years later and it's still the best lovecraft game to date.

>Call of Cthulhu
>look inside
>it's Shadow Over Insmouth
Why are they all like this?

>>724636573
call of cthulhu is the ttrpg the game is based on

My favourite part was getting the laser gun and soothing dagoth minions before lasering Dargoth himself

>>724635940 (OP)
Has anyone managed to get past the collapsing tunnels after killing Hydra on PC? I must have tried about 15 times, but the rocks just fall way too fast.

>>724636573
It's the most adaptable story, we need a game about the army fighting cultists and monsters.

I hope someone makes a tasteful remaster / remake. It's a tad janky, but the weapons felt really good i think.

>>724638189
Is that some FPS tied shit or do i misremember? Like if you limit FPS you can make it.

>>724635940 (OP)
Not quite

>>724638189
I think that shit's bugged you can download a fix for it. The part where you use the gun on the boat was fucked in my version I think I had to patch it or something. Broken game but pretty good when it works.

Call of Cthulhu and Shadow Over Innsmouth are both names of short stories written by Lovecraft, that anon was making a joke while displaying his literacy.

>>724638967
In my game I spawned outside of the boat in the water and had to clip through the ship's hull to progress.

>Call of Cthulhu
>you never call him
>he never gives you his number

>>724640609
He calls you

I like the part on the boat where the targets don't render and your firing the cannon blindly into the horizon.

actually

The PC port is very broken a requires several patches.

>>724638207
So, a generic fps game with fish monster enemies?

My favourite Lovecraftian game will always be the Sinking City. I think any Lovecraft game should always focus on that mystery, investigative aspect of his stories rather than trying to be outright action games or horror games.

>>724642404
Dark Corners is kinda like that, the first have is the detective part and the second half it turns into a horror FPS and the second half get's the most criticism for that but I thought the ship battle was pure kino.

>>724642534
It still is kino. Can't think of too many games with such a set piece battles on the sea. At least not something that starts as rather generic adventure FPS.

>>724635940 (OP)
and it's still one of 10 existing lovecraft games*

I feel like there was a brief moment a couple years ago where Lovecraftian stuff was really surging in popularity but then we never really got anything out of it.
