As I recall, the reason the character in Shadow over Innsmouth went to the town was chiefly because the bus from the town he was in (I forget the name) to Innsmouth then to Arkheim was cheaper than taking a train to Arkheim...
I've never read Shadow out of Time, I just remember the Great Race of Yith out of the old "Deities and Demigods" D&D book...The impression I got was that the worst they'd do would be to give you gifts of knowledge. (often a bad thing concerning Cthulhu mythos...)
Call of Cthulhu: The Game that taught us that 4D8 damage is not the way to success, and that movement is your most important attribute.
See a plot hook? Run like hell. Old man by the side of the road, accelerate. Don't split up, reload. And always break out the napalm first and ask questions later.
Lol. What sort of detective walks up to a device, presses all the buttons, then goes "Oh shit!" when it activates a machine that electrecutes the guy strapped to it....?
Actually, unless they sterilized his skin and skull before cutting into it (I doubt they bothered), he would have irrecoverably died of an infection. And, even if they did, with the place shaking and stuff, even a tiny grain of dirt in his brain would have meant his death.
Its a good game that could have been a great game.
The strengths are an intriguing story based on many of Lovecrafts great books, fantastic atmospheric graphics, music and sound.
The weaknesses as that while the game starts off as quite an intriguing action/adventure game with some puzzles relying on skills of observation, the gameplay declines into quite a generic and extremely linear action game.
I think the game got rushed during the development. Perhaps under pressure from Ubisoft
I think I see a glimpse of the same sort of excellent game mechanics that went into Condemned: Criminal Origins. I agree that the designers JUST BARELY pulled it off, but had to hack some stuff (the slow-mo for the truck is triggered whether you are in the truck or not, the fire loading before your eyes, etc.).
Ah, is this only as far as you've gone with the walkthrough so far? Pity, I'm quite interested in how the game interpreted the Innsmouth story. I look forward to watching the rest of your walkthrough when it comes out ;)
O.o i had the weirdest dream last night... it was about this game... the main character was hanging himself and 4 Cthulhu were on each side tapdancing... o.o;; i laughed when i woke up and then was like: WTF?
I was saying it sounds like the start of one if you write such things. Seeing as Lovecraft wrote many of his stories based off his dreams, a person writing Lovecraft fan fic based on their dreams of his stories seems poetic.
Sounded ever so slightly out of sync

Ythians, amnesia, schizophrenia... For those familiar with HPL's work the whole mistery part of the story is kinda gone after this point.
