    Call of Cthulhu
    This fine morning sees the release of the first gameplay footage for the upcoming Call of Cthulhu game from Cyanide Studio. The game, which takes its inspiration from Chaosium's pen and paper RPG, still seems to be on track for its release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC on October 30.
    In Call of Cthulhu, feel the influence of Lovecraftian Old Gods and other cosmic horrors, as you delve into the circumstances behind the tragic deaths of the Hawkins family. Helped and hindered by the mysterious locals of Darkwater Island, your journey cuts the line between sanity and madness as the hunt for truth brings Pierce ever closer to the Great Dreamer.

    This gameplay trailer takes place during the early stages of Pierce’s investigation, though the influence of the Great Old Ones is already creeping into effect. To uncover the truth, players must unearth clues, interrogate locals, solve crime scenes, and overcome dangers both physical and mental.

    You can always find out a bit more on Call of Cthulhu by checking out the official website or the Cyanide Studio Twitter.
