Game Description
The creepy, nightmarish tales of sci-fi writer H.P. Lovecraft finally come to the world of gaming with Call of Cthulu! Fight the macabre and the occult in a first-person RPG adventure from the darkest corners of the imagination. A world of deformed, alien gods have penetrated reality and are taking over the planet. Using mysterious technology and arcane magic, you will battle and outsmart Cthulu's followers.

But it's the price heroes must pay when saving the world from the Call of Cthulu!
