If there’s one person people like to jump to for something horror related, it’s Lovecraft. And if there’s one presence of his that people know him for, it’s Cthulhu. Many games attempt to bring the cosmic entity to life, but fail to truly do so. Now it’s Cyanide Studios’ chance, and we’re excited to see where it goes. It’s looked promising in previous trailers, and this one is no exception. Full press release is below.

Plunge into the troubled mind of private investigator Edward Pierce, as his perception of reality becomes more and more skewed the closer he gets to the Great Dreamer’s sphere of influence. Clutch to your withering sanity to discover the conspiracies, the cultists and otherworldly terrors that inhabit the twisted universe imagined by Lovecraft… it is said that madness is the only way that can bring you to the truth.

 

Sent to Darkwater Island to uncover the truth behind a mysterious death of a family, your original assignment spirals out of control against a backdrop of suspicious locals, mutilated whales, and disappearing bodies. Pierce’s mind will suffer – balancing a razor-thin line between sanity and madness, your senses will be disrupted until you question the reality of everything around you. Trust no one. Creeping shadows hide lurking figures… and all the while, the Great Dreamer prepares for his awakening.
