Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
released on Oct 24, 2005
Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth combines an action-horror game with a fairly realistic and immersive first-person shooter, with good stealth elements. The game is based on the works of H. P. Lovecraft, author of "The Call of Cthulhu" and progenitor of the Cthulhu Mythos, and in particular the game is a reimagining of Lovecraft's 1936 novella The Shadow Over Innsmouth. Set mostly in the year 1922, the story follows Jack Walters, a mentally unstable private detective hired to investigate a disappearance case in Innsmouth, a strange and mysterious town that has cut itself from the rest of the United States.

Underrated and forgotten gem!
God I love this game but it just feels really confused.
I love everything about this game except for actually playing it... and maybe the last 5-10%
If this game ended after the first third I would consider it to be a forgotten classic, but it doesn't. It pushes onward and piles on broken sequences and bad levels. It can't decide if it wants to be an action adventure FPS or a stealth driven survival horror so it does both poorly.
The worst sin it commits is being buggy. Broken AI and nonfunctional mechanics plague the experience, especially in the latter half. The worst one came at the end though. Hours after the game lost its enjoyment I had reached the final boss fight only to discover a bug had triggered in my save making it unbeatable.
It has a rich atmosphere and interesting mechanics which current devs could certainly draw on for inspiration, but the game itself is not worth playing. I would love to see it remade though.

Cara, jogo de terror não é pra mim 😭😭😭😭. Tenso demais, apesar do lado investigativo ser bem interessante, não tive coragem pra prosseguir, esse tipo de jogo não é pra mim.
