Hello and welcome to the Let's Play for Call of Cthulhu-Dark corners of the Earth
Hello! After my Alice Let's Play I thought this would be a good next one
The plan is to do the levels in parts; also planned is do this game without pissing myself in fear. More likely to achieve the former rather than the latter.
'I saw him on a sleepless night when I was walking desperately to save my soul and my vision.'
So then what is this game?
This game is a horror FPS, a FPS with a difference. Unique to this game compared to most shooters is the sanity system (think Eternal darkness style). The more horrifying the scene the more our hero (Jack Walters, Private detective) loses it. Crack up to much and you die, usually with the weapon you have at the time.
This game has almost no HUD of any kind, which makes it rather distinctive. You can tell your health by the on screen effects, the worse your condition the harder it is to see and move. All healing must be done through the use of separate healing items. For example you are hurt in the leg, select the precise area needed on the inventory screen and Jack will apply the bandage (which takes time, not good if something ‘unpleasant’ is heading your way).
A lot of the combat can be avoided, which seems to be the better option most of the time, as the game is not very frequent with ammo or even weapons
'The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.'
Some story?
The game's protagonist is Jack Walters, formerly a police detective with a talent for solving cases with apparently insufficient evidence who after a rather disturbing visit to raided house in Boston, went insane for years.
Now earning a living as a private detective, whilst also attempting to trace his own actions during the period of mental disturbance that he now cannot remember, Jack is contacted to take up a missing person case in the town of Innsmouth.
Over the course of the game, Jack slowly unravels the strange and terrible secrets behind Innsmouth, the Burnham case, and even the Boston incident that initially landed him in the asylum. In an environment filled with murderous cultists, deep-sea monsters, and alien horrors, Jack must try to survive and remain sane despite the horrors of the new case and his afflictions.
'We live on a placid island of ignorance in the midst of black seas of infinity, and it was not meant that we should voyage far.'
Quiz thing
An idea I have is too do some sort of ‘thing’ to keep you all involved, a quiz perhaps, or maybe something else (you guys help with that bit) with the idea of whoever does the best at 'it' wins the game we are Let’s Playing. Ie. Call of Cthulhu Dark corners of the Earth.
Give me some ideas for that folks yeah?
This is where the videos for each part will go up. I will initially upload to Youtube, but I can and will upload elsewhere if people wish.
Right then, let’s all go and get insane:

Also, your accent makes this LP even better.
Hey thanks!
I'll be doing the next one for monday.
Youtube Channel!
This game is awesome! Can't wait to watch.
I'a R'lyeh I'a I'a Cthulhu Ftaghn
The only good Lovecraft game that's not a point and click.
Made me jump in my chair
Yeah I missed the health pack, which I noticed while playing the recording back after my 5th attempt. I'll subtly grab it before the next one
Youtube Channel!
I'll do the next one in the dark or something haha. So no one got any ideas for quiz questions or something else to do during the videos? Win prizes people
Well...
Youtube Channel!
Then help me think of an idea for something fun to do with the LP
When we get an idea going, the person with the most points/best questions etc etc wins the game.
Youtube Channel!
(Unlikely to win, but I do already own the pc version)
I can't wait to see
Keep the footage of you dying horribly multiple times to make a montage.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
I will don't worry. Just hope theres enough HD space left to record all that :P
Thats not a bad idea tbh. Or guess which book the quote comes from I duno. It's just something to make it a bit more interactive rather than me just prattling on all the time.

Hmm, make up some questions that involve your videos so that whoever wins the game is the most loyal fan :P
Now that bring tears to my eyes...
Yeah it's better with the PC but no graphics options what so ever is irritating. Lazy version is lazy.
Thats an idea. Things that crop up in the videos as questions...hmmm.

Very nicely done. I could never finish this game (I'm a big chicken). Keep it up.

Me too
But I'll grow a pair for you guys :P. The first time through I'm suprised I managed it. I can bearly do Silent Hill and this easily matches it.
