Focus Home Interactive's winning line of 'Games Designed Specifically for Sammy' stretches on with Call of Cthulhu – an upcoming horror based upon H.P. Lovecraft's series of supernatural horrors. You'll play as a private detective named Edward Pierce who's recruited to investigate the death of a local artist, but ultimately becomes embroiled in much darker story.
Obviously this is a CG trailer so there's not much to glean gameplay wise, but we have to admit that we're loving Focus Home Interactive's portfolio at the moment. Between this, Vampyr, and The Plague, it's practically got the historical horror sub-genre on lock. Hopefully all three titles turn out to be entertaining romps.

Hyped.
Yep.
As a mahoosive fan of writings from Lovecraft, Poe and Thomas Ligotti, this has me salivating uncontrollably...
Awesome awesome and awesome. Been waiting for a full on Lovecraft video game (though I haven't played Bloodborne yet, shame on me).
All @get2sammyb needs now is a Call of Taylor Swift announcement and 'Games Designed Specifically for Sammy' will have had a banner year!
Same here, love Lovecraftian horror so I really, REALLY hope this game is good. Not sure about the developer though, it's not like their track record is all that impressive.
@AhabSpampurse
Didn't really expect to ever see Ligotti's name mentioned on a video game site, props
@Rudy_Manchego Exactly! Get on it Focus Home!
Wow was kinda meh , till watched the trailer. Has me perked.
Wow that trailer certainly swayed me,
Interested now, having watched that... hmmm. looks right up my street....
I remember playing this on Xbox (original) and loving it. Is this a remaster or a new story?
I used to play the Call Of Cthulhu rpg (pen and paper) a few times years ago with my brother,really freaked me out and always wanted a proper game...the trailer looks good and definitely has that feel...but I won't be convinced until I see proper gameplay..
@General_Spiller
That was a different game. This one here is new, not a remaster of Dark Corners of the Earth (though I hope they implement something like the sanity meter in DCotE).
Ah yes...Dark Corners...now i remember. Been 10 + years since i played it. The sanity meter was great and the whole atmosphere of the game was excellent. If this one is even remotely close, then i'll be playing this for sure.
If you need that Lovecraftian itch scratched having seen this I can recommend In the Mouth of Madness, an older Sam Neill film which was passed over by most at release. Last time I looked you could watch it on Youtube
Yes please, I can definitely get over the rubbish acting too.
@Lurker cheers pal! In some ways I actually prefer Ligotti to HP. Sometimes the contemporary settings can make it a bit more relevant and unsettling. But yeah, huge fan!
