I started Call of Cthulhu after reading H.P. Lovecraft’s work to see what a video game adaptation would be like. At the end of chapter 2, unimpressed, I decided this wasn’t worth playing further but thought to give this eerie manor that opens chapter 3 a final shot. Half-delighted I did as that’s when the story and setting became interesting. Exploring through the creepier areas and putting the pieces together was alright, mostly through the mid-late chapters where some ideas shined. Gameplay, character animations, RPG elements, etc, were mediocre and unpolished. Overall, I’d say story and mystery is intriguing enough to see it through if you’re into Lovecraft’s work.
