Ho-ho-ho!

It's the thirteenth of the month; it's a spooky day so let's get a
spooky game.

* Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth
https://store.steampowered.com/app/22340/Call_of_Cthulhu_Dark_Corners_of_the_Earth/
This game has a lot of rough edges, I'll be the
first to admit. But it's also one of the best
Lovecraftian games H3F8Eout there (although that may be
saying more about the poor quality of Cthulhu games
in general than boosting "Dark Corners", I admit).
Still, I rather enjoyed this game, warts and all.
It's a re-telling of Lovecraft's "Shadow Over
Insmouth", andWA8IQ its grainy visuals only play into
the feeling of unease and corruption that has taken
over that town. Only X3N6Athe end sequence is
disappointing; the rest of the game is a guilty
pleasure. Give it a try and see if you agree.

See? Spooky! Just don't tell the beavants about the game; as we
learned last Christmas, they tend to get a bit rowdy when confronted
with ancient evils.

Still more to come!

Ho-ho-ho!

I don't like the graphics and I am not a fan of horror. The reviews
are not great either. I will pass.

>Still more to come!

Looking forward to them.

I have tried this one (but not finished). It's deserving of a remake to
modernize those rough edges on modern hardware, but as is, the atmosphere in
the opening stages is suitably unsettling and worth experiencing!

I posted 20 minutes after Spalls posted this. It is possible that
particular someone got to it even before I had a chance to turn it
down.
