What players say
I loved this game . The story , the humour , the art , Kitteh...dang it, it was perfect. For me it goes straight next to Broken Sword series for my all time favorite adventure game. What an amazing Call of Cthulhu adventure , it had everything and more so . It was a pleasure to click and listen to all of the conversations and descriptions. For sure a game to replay in the future. If you like everything: -Lovecraft ...
One of the best cthulhu adventures written. The comedy is professional and not just "haha carzy people go weird". Lovecraft intended Cthulhu as a sci-fi myth and they picked up on that well. Story, dialogues, voiceacting, chapter design, puzzles, music, artwork - everything is so well done and put together. I was constantly torn between clicking everything and satisfying my burning curiosity how the story develops...
If you like games like Monkey Island but also like horror-spoofs (this feels niche) then this is an essential purchase. The characters are fun, the voice acting is great, and the art style is spot-on.
