Call of Cthulhu is probably the most underrated mainstream Lovecraft game right now, as people started to love The Sinking City, and the first Call of Cthulhu game, that was very problematic at launch, but it was patched to be an enjoyable experience.

This Call of Cthulhu however, is a very decent walking sim/detective game, that focuses on choices, which can lead up to 4 different endings. I am not gonna lie, this game really surprised me. The animations are rather janky, but the overall atmosphere and gameplay are top notch, and the graphics, especially the more gruesome and supernatural areas, are really well done, despite the lower budget.

For those who seek more Lovecraftian games, I can recommend Call of Cthulhu, especially if you enjoy atmospheric and slow burn horror. The only thing that can ruin the experience is the janky nature of the animations, but everything else is either okay, or excellent.

Give it a go, and visit Darkwater!
