The upcoming horror-themed PC adventure game Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is not the first project inspired by the tales of H.P. Lovercraft. You could say his work encouraged the makers of oldies such as Quake, Alone in the Dark, X-COM: Terror From the Deep, and others. Even those freakish Evil Dead movies also owe something to the settings and stories created by this well-known author. Although Bethesda Softworks and Headfirst Productions have been at this one for quite a while now (almost three years to be precise), this doesn't appear to be one of those games that loses its charm or appeal due to a prolonged development cycle. By the way, it might be pertinent to mention that Headfirst hasn't set out to make a game since Simon the Sorcerer 3D which, unfortunately, amounted to a total disappointment. But judging from all that has been revealed thus far, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth shows much promise; it boasts all the qualities of a successful horror-style action-adventure. After a few years, we finally got a chance to rummage through some of the game's traits, so we decided to offer you guys a fair slice of things to come.
