Call of Cthulhu Darkest Corners of the Earth is a horror action FPS created by the now defunct Headfirst Productions and is set in the preestabilished mythos created by the stories of famed horror author H.P. Lovecraft. The story follows P.I. Jack Walters as he gets caught in a world of supernatural beasts, and dark mysteries as he tries to get to the bottom of 6 years missing from his memory. The gameplay starts off as investigative first person exploration game having you read notes and letters, talking to NPCs, and sneaking around alleys and locked buildings. As the game progresses however, the game becomes more and more of a straight forward FPS with sub par gunplay, but with interesting mechanics thrown in such as the sanity meter which actually predates games like Amnesia the Dark Descent. The game also suffers from the issue of unskippable cutscenes which can really be annoying when some lean on the couple minute range and you have to retry bossfights multiple times. Some of the level design can also feel a little uninspired while other locations can drip of excellent atmosphere. For a solid 6 hour adventure this game will deliver plenty of thrills, chills, and an interesting story that will leave you thinking for years to come. There was clearly some attempt to set up sequels and a continuing story line, even confirmed by the devs, with 2 cancelled projects. Sadly this game will forever remain as a solo experience, and as the start of what could've been something bigger.
