Wishlisted.
The premise of the game seems right up my alley so keeping an eye on this. Hopefully it's good.

All of the studio's games have been forgettable, mediocre nothings so I have little hope but I'd love to be surprised.
Hoping to (finally) read and watch some hands-on previews at Gamescom. Also hoping the acquisition of Cyanide by Big Ben who is publishing Frogwares' The Sinking City (who was the OG developer of Focus' Call of Cthulhu) didn't impact the game's last months of production.

What's confusing to me is that the game is supposed to be a horrot but it's also a RPG. How would that work, I wonder?
Thank god. Was worried this would get delayed again. Easily in my top 5 hype games for the rest of the year
Quite well considering that Call of Cthulu has a long history as a tabletop RPG.

I'm not familiar with the franchise, and the (leaked?) gameplay video from before doesn't show anything than exploration and investigation. Will there be combat?
I haven't paid too much attention to the games development to be honest but the old CoC game on OG Xbox and PC did and the Tabletop game does as well. Though in the table top fighting monsters is basically certain death. So there's that.
Looking forward to seeing more. I feel like we've only gotten a few minutes of any significant gameplay so far if I'm not mistaken.
Really hope to see a big chunk of footage soon.

Didn't this one have a subtitle or something? I guess I have to call the older Call of Cthulhu video game Dark corners of the Earth.
Small tidbit about DCoTE. The PC version is still buggy as hell, but it has one of my favourite bug solutions ever. There's a bit when you are sorta being chased early in the game and if you didn't complete that section fast enough the game would crash. I'm talking finishing it with almost perfect timing. I was good fun when I played it with a friend as we alternated attempted to speedrun that section.
OT: I'm optimistic about this game, but I'm not expected much beyond nailing the tone/lore.

This is not a good release time for this game. I think I'll have to wait for this one, because I am already considering passing Dragon Quest 11 to play Spiderman on time.

It's both a great release date and a super shitty one due to it coming out in the middle of the Halloween sale.
I've been keeping keeping an eye on this for a while nice, the atmosphere and setting look promising. I'll wait for more gameplay vids to be shown before I decide if I'll be there day one or later on.
It looks like it could be interesting, I will try to keep one eye on it to see how it turns out!
This is true, unfortunately. Gimme Yog-Sothoth.
But I'm a sucker for Lovecraft, so I'm buying this.
For some reason I thought these two titles were the same game... apparently not! Now I'm glad we have two shots at getting a decent lovecraft themed game.
It's a narrative RPG so I think it will be more like The Council than something like say Bloodborne.
Why do people say it is a bad release date? It is a Halloween release for a horror game. Sounds like a perfect release date.
And speculating from the P&P RPG there might be only minimal combat in this game. Combat in the P&P RPG is rather deadly, especially for your character. But it has a lot of non combat skills and a strong emphasis on exploration, mystery, investigation and plain survival. This game seems to be a real RPG and not just a combat simulator like many so-called RPGs are.

The less combat, the better :) having a firm release date is good. I cannot wait to see if this is a fine game ! I hope so, i love the mood of this franchise.
Agreed. I just hope there won't be any chase sequences, like in the run & hide horror sub-genre; Outlast, SOMA, RE7.
Excellent. I understand that it's not officially related to Dark Corners of the Earth, but I always wanted to play that one and just never had a system that could run it properly. I've been waiting for something like this to come out again for so long. I'm in day one.
Actually, Frogwares, the studio behind Sherlock Holmes games, is making another Lovecraftian game, called The Sinking City.
It's true, but this year they made The Council. It's the best narrative game I ever played.
Cthulhu is the High Priest of the Great Old Ones. He's as powerful as they come for something that isn't an Outer God. Call of Cthulhu codified everything people love about the Mythos.
