Cyanide Interactive has unveiled a new gameplay trailer for its upcoming Lovecraft-inspired horror RPG Call of Cthulhu.
When we last saw the game in action, Cyanide offered an extended look at its atmospheric opening hour, setting the scene for its central investigation – which sees hard-drinking private detective Edward Pierce attempting to solve several mysterious deaths in the halls of Hawkins Manor, situated on the gloomy island of Darkwater Island, Massachusetts.
This time around, however, Cyanide teases a couple of sequences from much later in the game, delving, as the developer puts it, “deeper along the path of madness”. Once again, the video stresses the futility of physical combat in Call of Cthulhu (although it’s always an option as a last resort), offering a reminder that it’s often far more effective to make use of your other skills, such as speech, medicine, and knowledge of the occult.
