The game has a sanity meter, the reduction of which affects in-game options and environmental effects. You raid a library filled with esoteric texts, an Eldritch gallery display packed with off-kilter sculptures, and the unsettling remains of an otherworldly roast dinner, for clues.
An investigation skill that breaks down crime scenes, displaying past events in an ethereal reconstruction. Items found in the environment reveal key details.
You talk with a limited array of in-game characters to discover information. In true cosmic horror form, Call of Cthulhu eschews bludgeoning cultists to death with weapons for smarts-based survival. Haunted artifacts, glassy-eyed locals and vague visions of glistening horrors take center stage along with interdimensional monsters. Pierce inevitably becomes embroiled in dark machinations involving entities of incalculable power. Here the inhabitants speak of sacred flesh, ancient rituals, and uncanny Gods. Tasked with investigating the death of a painter renowned for her cursed visions, he sets off for local island Darkwater. You play as trauma-weathered soldier turned private investigator Edward Pierce, who comes complete with an unkempt beard, drinking problem and a thousand yard stare. This is the game’s finest moment and its sole high-point. In the distance, something gigantic and nameless calls you forward, as a cacophony of howls and cosmic grunts throbs ever louder.
