The game encourages you to investigate as much as you can but leaves the option open to skip all that if you don’t want to do all the extra work that comes with it. The more unhealthy things you do or immoral actions you undertake, the more vulnerable you’ll become to lose your sanity and ultimately reach the bad ending of the story. There’s also a mechanic that affects your destiny at the end of the game. You can finish the game without using the expanded options, but it will take more time and you will miss out on some pretty interesting lore and background stories. Finding clues can also be important in other situations, as these can expand dialogue options while talking to key characters. For example: solving a puzzle to open a contraption, or simply attempt to force the mechanism without breaking it. All these extra ways of exploring come into play during investigations, in which you might have multiple options on how you tackle it. There are also several skills you can level up that help you discover more items or translate texts that hide secrets. Now, not all of these clues are going to be in the open and will involve some snooping around and exploration. You spend most of the game investigating the places you visit around Darkwater looking for clues to help with your case. The best way to describe the gameplay is as a survival horror game with some RPG elements. You play as a private investigator who is in dire need of a new case You must do whatever it takes to solve the mystery of Darkwater Island and escape it as soon as possible.

After hearing that Cyanide Studio’s were creating an adaptation of one of Lovecraft’s most famous books, Call of Cthulhu, I was excited to see their take on this universe and how they would implement the themes into the gameplay. While there are many books covering this particular sub-genre, there aren’t that many other types of media that have tried to adapt these stories. Lovecraft and his extensive library of horror stories that created a sub-genre that is often referred to as “Lovecraftian”.
