Here is a part of it: The sinister world of Lovecraft's stories has been lovingly recreated in digital form, from the streets of Innsmouth and their derelict but not quite abandoned houses to the pirate caves and yawning chasms that lie beneath, and the tentacled creatures and not entirely human townsfolk which lurk therein. The texturing is some of the most impressive we've seen to date, taking full advantage of the latest technology to apply all the lighting effects, bump mapping and grimy detail you could wish for, and the result is atmospheric and strangely oppressive. The gameplay itself appears to be less of a Tomb Raider style romp and more of an adventure game at this stage, with your diary recording any information and clues you uncover during your wanderings. You will also be able to stop people in the street and question them, although if the story on which the game is loosely based is anything to go by they may not be very talkative.
