I’m not quite sure about this one.
Apparently it’s a setting that’s been around for a while as a spinoff of Call of Cthulhu, and it’s not like the mythos getting the pulp or secret warfare treatment hasn’t been done before, I just don’t get why Nazis would want to harness the powers of eldritch miscegenation.
No relation to this game either.
Honestly, when are we gonna just get a B.P.R.D. X-COM clone?
Some gameplay from Call of Cthulhu due in Octobre.
Yes please
Also of note, this classic IF piece has been illustrated and rereleased: http://www.anchorhead-game.com/

Call of Cthulhu was a major disappointment and missed opportunity. I can’t recommend it to even the most seasoned Lovecraft fans, they’ll get nothing out of it.
Anyway…

oh shit they did the sherlock holmes games that are pretty good. okay i’m into this
Is it substantially worse than Dark Corners of the Earth?
Considerably. It abandons the RPG element that should establish some personality after the first chapter (of 12), pads itself with uninspired puzzles, including one that involves backtracking to pick up two different coloured lanterns because God forbid you carry both at the same time, the insanity effects are mild and bunk, and has a really pedestrian and uninspired story that does little justice to what the tabletop property could allow to get away with, which is underlined by the fact it only has one Mythos monster up its sleeve at all (which is a problem I had on the opposite side of tone with Achtung Cthulhu!, which despite wearing the pulp adventure thing on its sleeve figures the best it can do with Lovecraftian fiction is throw nothing but blob monsters at you which are supposed to be Shoggoth).
