Focus Interactive has revealed the first trailer for the official Call of Cthulu game ahead of E3. Though the trailer doesn’t offer many details outside of spooky images, Focus did release this bit of information:
In Call of Cthulhu, players will control Edward Pierce, a former veteran and private investigator in 1920s Boston. Pierce will be investigating the tragic and mysterious death of Sarah Hawkins and her family in Darkwater Island. The game’s E3 Trailer showcases this disturbing Island and the eerie Hawkins Family Mansion, and gives a glimpse at how the intensity of the investigation will slowly start chipping away at your Sanity.
Insanity and the Cthulhu Mythos have long been entwined – as your investigation brings you closer to Cthulhu’s sphere of influence, madness will progressively engulf your senses, leaving you to increasingly question what is real and what is illusory. They say that madness is the only way that can bring you to the truth and you will have to balance your sanity against your determination to discover it!
Call of Cthulu comes from developer Cyanide Studios, perhaps best known for their Blood Bowl series, and is expected in 2017 for consoles and PC.
