thinking in a game... fuck that I'll just play COD, drink some mountain dew and jack to the theme song....................... but really this game is really bad ass
i loved the game, though the people sometimes were difficult to understand, the people in innsmouth all have strange voices, which makes it so u dont understand them sometimes, but its also absolutly hilarious
i bought this game for like 4 bucks! lol really, i love it!! and that h.p guy lol i ran out and got a few books, (the only ones there:P) and the storys are creepy as fuck!
Note for PC users - if you can't beat the timed stuff at the very end, adjust the resolution down. I don't know what the technical reason for it is, but it makes the difference.
Heck, it probably makes a difference throughout the rest of the timed portions as well.
i never read a thing by HP lovecraft, but i think this is one of the greatest, if overlooked games ever made. it's scary as hell and a very different way to look at horror games.
I tried to read some Lovecraft but it freaked me out, that and the cover was just disgusting (book cover) maybe if I can find an old hard bound version that is just plain.
it's a nice game apart froma dodgy gameplay. But perhaps it's also a plus since you are a normal guy and not a super hero.
Anyway the game is based on the book 'A shadow over Insmouth' by HP Lovecraft, which soea not at all mention Chtulhu, so the title isa little misleading...
Actually, the game partly takes place in a city called Arkham. The fictional location was used by H.P. Lovecraft who wrote the source material almost a century ago. Arkham Asylum in the Batman universe is a tribute to Lovecraft's work, apparently the author was a fan.
HAHAHAHA ARKHAM asylum.. wasn't that the name of the asylum in the batman world?? where they had the worst security ever cause all the bad guys got out...at least one time.. but it was always one at a time?
well I found the game scare in a more 'unsettling' way rather than 'scared out of your socks way'
like often is found in HP Lovecraft works, the horror is not about monsters popping out and do 'peak-a-boo' but it's the hostile and insane environment against the 'hero' who tries to survive and to maintain his sanity against the horrible truths he encounters
It's a psychological horror, rathern than a gory or flashy one. I though the sound was the most scary part of the game
that is not scary. try amnsesia the dark descent :p

Any way that human beings pronounce the name of the Great Cthulhu is wrong, due to the fact that his name is in an alien language.

Arkham, Miskatonic University.. .etc which are often found in other book, comics and movies were all coined by HP lovecraft first.
Besides, he died in 1937, 2 years before the first Batman comic book
