    [​IMG]PC Gamer likes Call of Cthulhu:

    Call of Cthulhu makes an eerie RPG of survival horror and detective work

    Stay with me here: it's a walking sim RPG with Ace-Attorney-lite detective sections and sanity-driven survival horror. And it's cool? It's cool.

    The most interesting part of the live demonstration I saw of Call of Cthulhu wasn't when the eyeless monster crawled out of a painting. It was the heart attack the main character nearly had hiding in the closet while he watched it happen. Had he stayed in any longer, it'd be game over.

    He has a fear of small, enclosed spaces, but that won't necessarily be the case for everyone. Like Amnesia: The Dark Descent, Call of Cthulhu is a first-person survival horror game with a sanity system. See too many strange things, read too much impossible knowledge and you have a chance to get hit with a phobia, but exactly what that phobia is will vary.

    So picture this: a Gone-Home-esque detective game with investigation scenes that play out like Ace-Attorney-lite, interspersed with puzzle and monster evasion sections. And as you flee in terror, you'll possibly be kneecapped by an assortment of random fears. Tight.
