Neue Rezensionen von Cthulhu's PR Rep

The gameplay was a little wonky, the combat was less than desired imo, but I think the story itself was very interesting. The ending caught me extremely off guard, almost out of nowhere, but it was satisfying. I need to beat it again, and then one more time, but honestly after starting the second playthrough, its the same game with the other character. Haven't gotten far enough to see the differences in the campaigns, im sure they are different, but something is holding me back from wanting to beat it again, even though the campaign was only about 4-6 hours depending on if you search every single room. I enjoy the search and find "lore" that unlocks different items, and story plot devices, but having to beat the game over and over to get every single ending and item feels like a massive chore. Did the developers deserve a second chance? I think so, but the game definitely needed some more polish and time on the presses. I'd give this a solid 6-7/10, atmosphere was fantastic, immersion was good when I wasn't stuttering into oblivion whenever the environments suddenly changed, but overall it was fun if you can see past the blemishes.

This game was really really fun, it had a silent hill vibe, with fromsoft like combat in a way. The horror aspect dwindled the farther you got, but the atmosphere itself was still immaculate. I think on a first playthrough this game was about 9-10 hours long, but the ending felt a little lackluster, regardless I really enjoyed this, even more so for the price tag. Very much worth! It is a little slow on the combat aspect of things, but if you have a soft spot for nostalgia PS1 like games, definitely worth a purchase. If I have any complaints, it was that the inventory. If you saved before a boss fight, and go into the fight with a bunch of items that you use during the fight, you don't get them back after a reload. I had to grind a bit to get money, but honestly it wasn't anything that was overbearing or game breaking

From the get go, if you do not like puzzle games, I do not recommend. However if you do, this game offers so much and more. It plays similarly to any point and click adventure games from yesteryear; myst, ravenhearst, etc etc. The game is a roguelike, but the puzzles sort of overlap with each day that passes, however you lose your items whenever you run out of "steps" in the game. Each time you solve a puzzle it gives you the biggest puzzle solving boner imaginable, and when you actually beat the game and reach the objective, there is STILL, so much more. Absolutely loved (and continuing to love) the story, because once you beat it, the game continues! The puzzles can be real headscratchers at first, I usually put the *REALLY* hard ones off for later, and make gradual progress. Some of the them are ESPECIALLY a pain, like the chess puzzle or the overall room layout puzzles (yes every single room contributes). All in all, absolutely ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ loved this game, cannot recommend enough <3

I seriously cannot get enough of this game, from a shooter standpoint its top of its class, the enemy comms are so vital to the intensity of the game. The weapon upgrades SLAP, the gunplay is INCREDIBLE, it has a storytelling environment with tons of data logs and lore dumps about where you are. Absolute banger from the devs here, absolutely my game of the year for 2024 hands down

Short, sweet, to the point, especially if you are an amnesia veteran. Amazing game design, great story as well. I haven't been a huge fan of the sequels since dark descent, but enjoyed them, and this game is just top tier. The atmosphere is incredible. Horror is on 10. Everything is jam packed into a nice 6-10 hour experience depending on your pace. 3 hours after you have beaten it. Nightmare mode is like nothing else and absolutely recommended, solid 9/10

This game really makes you FEEL like Zak Bagans.

Jokes aside, this is the hands down one of the best ghost hunting sims out there. It takes some patience, which is oddly satisfying, but once it takes off this game can amp up to 100. Especially in the late game. The more you progress, the more crazy ♥♥♥♥ begins to happen too, and it gives a nice flow to the game overall. The dev has CLEARLY put a lot into this game, and if you're someone who doesn't like phas or any other ghost hunting game because the ghost can kill, you can't die! Easily one of my faves of this year.

I really enjoyed this in early access for its potential, and am now editing my review because it got released very quickly.

The new maps are cool, but my game somehow has issues now, especially on the newer maps. Anytime the ghost comes close to me my frames drop to about 5-10 frames. The "puzzle" on the bedlam map is confusing and a lot of it just doesn't feel complete. There still isn't any new info on about 1/3 of the ghosts, they just don't have traits written. I don't know if the devs are just stepping away, but there is still so much work to be done with this game. Again, this still has a lot to work with, but the frame drops and lack of information for the ghosts has had me putting it down for a while. It sucks to see, but just hoping for more.

3 hours in, cannot believe how good this is, absolutely worth the wait, thanks for all your hard work Dillon!

Despite this game having some simple game flaws, like NPCs just popping in and out of existence, and some of the world feeling a bit empty since its sort of that GTA open world style, it has a really really solid foundation as a game. The combat is a little less than good, but the game does a great job of making the HP lovecraft lore come to life. The voice acting is great, the story itself is the best I have seen in a Lovecraftian type of game in a while, it ♥♥♥♥♥ all over the Call of Cthulhu game that came out before it. The mind palace mechanics and thought mechanics are reminiscent of Disco Elysium, and the sanity system is really really great, it pulls off the same sort of vibes that Amnesia the Dark Descent did. Overall, this game is instantly a classic for me, despite it's flaws, definitely recommend.

Best game ever created, it is worth buying VR for this game alone, I know that is bold but this is the future of gaming <3
