Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is a first-person horror. The plot was written based on the works of Howard Lovecraft. The lore tries to follow the original source exactly. The game has elements of a shooter, stealth and quest. There are also a lot of dialogues. One of the features of the project is the complete absence of an interface.We play as Jack Walters. A detective suffering from partial memory loss arrives in the provincial port town of Innsmouth. He was tasked with finding a missing employee of a local store. The hero rents a room in a hotel and soon realizes that unfriendly residents want to kill him. Scary and frightening things await him ahead.In Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth, most of the time, the former patient of a mental hospital is helpless in front of enemies. Often, you have to hide or run away from them. You can try to delay your pursuers for a while by closing the doors from the inside and barricading them with furniture. When the protagonist gets a pistol, a shotgun and a rifle, things won't get any easier. There is no usual sight, there is no ammo indicator, and you need to aim at your opponents through the front sight. In addition, the detective is constantly shaking from stress. Episodes with shooting and hide-and-seek are diluted with riddles. Puzzles are usually built on searching for objects with their subsequent use in the right place.You can look at your health status and the amount of ammunition in the inventory, which is called up by a special key. The horror has a limb damage system. The left and right arm or leg, head and chest must be treated separately. This process is implemented in the form of a mini-game, where you need to stop bleeding, apply bandages and splints. In addition, the character can literally go crazy if he looks at monsters and corpses too often. At such moments, he begins to stagger, and glitches appear on the screen.
