Set in the dark, eerie world of H.P. Lovecraft, Call of Cthulu begins in the bowels of Arkham Asylum during the 1920’s. We see Walters rocking back and forth on the linoleum floor. He babbles incoherently as he reads his journal and rises without warning. Surrounded by symbols and glyphs, Walters slowly walks over to a chair and proceeds to hang himself. The orderly on-duty hears his struggles and lifts his legs. This is where the story begins.
