Blood and Gore, Intense Violence, Strong Language, Use of Drugs and AlcoholJack Walters did not have a very good childhood; his father beat him until committing suicide, and his mother, forced to work long hours, died prematurely. An orphan at the age of 11, Jack was taken into foster care, but falsified his age to become a police officer and leave his troubled past behind. After a few years of distinguished service, Jack reported to an emergency call concerning gunshots in a large house on the outskirts of Boston. By the time his fellow officers reached the scene a half-hour later, Jack was in an apoplectic state, covered in blood and with a look in his eyes so haunting, his colleagues could not erase it from their memories. Despite intense psychological counseling, Jack felt he could not return to the force and resigned, starting a private investigation business six years later in hopes of finding an explanation as to what happened on that fateful day outside of Boston. Based on HP Lovecraft's Cthulhu mythos and the roleplaying game it spawned in the 1980s, Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is designed to bring Lovecraft's terrors into the heart and mind of the 21st century — one gamer at a time.Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth is a first-person horror game that combines intense action and thrilling adventure with exploration and investigation for a truly stimulating experience. A HUD-less display brings a cinematic quality to the action, as an advanced artificial intelligence tracks you down individually and in groups, through doors and other obstacles, seeking to destroy you and reacting to your methods and movements. A detailed damage and healing system breaks down the regenerative process into conditions and treatments, not just generic wounds that can be fixed with standard cure-all health packs, while realistic combat scenarios will have you feeling Jack's pain as he is exposed to the increasingly shocking images of the Cthulhu mythos. To stay alive, you'll have to do more than just blast away with your guns, you'll have to use your mind to outsmart the terrors lurking behind every corner, waiting to consume your soul.
