Cthulhu: The Cosmic Abyss News

Stepping into Cthulu: The Cosmic Abyss was something of a strange prospect for me, because personally, I can’t help but be a little bit sick of Cthulu. It may be a case of familiarity breeding contempt, but by now Cthulu has saved both the world and Christmas, been a sucker for love, a plushie and a terrible South Park episode that any resonance he may have once had has been thoroughly sanded off. 

However, despite my skepticism, I’m always interested to see what a studio has to offer, even if it’s Cthulhu. So it was fortunate that CGM was invited to both a virtual and hands-on preview of Big Bad Wolf’s Cthulu: The Cosmic Abyss. What’s on offer is an interesting mystery game using the Cthulu mythos to add an extra layer of horror and intrigue. 

Guiding us through the presentation was the game director for Cthulhu: The Dark Abyss, Tomaso Sergi, who spoke about the design philosophy behind the project. “This combined all the elements that we love in Lovecraftian... Read more

[p]Greetings, Agent.[/p][p]As your investigation progresses, information will accumulate quickly: observations, objects, fragments of dialogue, and research data. To help you manage this flow without dictating conclusions, I have granted you access to some information about the Vault.[/p][h2][/h2][p]The Vault is an investigative tool designed to record and organize clues gathered during exploration, interactions, research, and object handling. It allows you to review your findings, visualize your progress, and deepen your understanding of certain clues when further analysis is possible.[/p][p]Some clues contain sub-elements. Others may unlock data that can later be used to refine tools such as the Sonar.[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]The Vault does not solve the investigation for you.[/p][p]It never performs deductions in your place, nor does it provide ready-made solutions. You are free to organize, connect, and interpret clues as you see fit - but every conclusion must come from you.[/p][p]When a situation requires resolution, the Vault will remain silent.[/p][p]The final action will always be yours.[/p][p]Proceed carefully, Agent.[/p][p][/p][h3]Wishlist now:[/h3][p][dynamiclink][/dynamiclink][/p][p]Facebook Twitter Discord[/p][p][/p]
