1 min read

A shiver down your spine, shadows in the dark, and something in the corner of your eye – Call of Cthulhu is out now for Nintendo Switch™, so you truly can’t escape madness. Watch the brand-new Nintendo Switch™ Launch Trailer for a taste of this mysterious investigation adventure and get ready to face horrors like you’ve never seen before.

An official adaptation of Chaosium’s pen & paper RPG, Call of Cthulhu combines investigation gameplay with the unparalleled narratives of Lovecraft’s renowned Cthulhu mythos. What mysteries will you, as private investigator Edward Pierce, uncover on the too-quiet island of Darkwater off the coast of Boston?

Call of Cthulhu casts you in that role – a struggling alcoholic, tortured by the past, haunted by PTSD and strange visions, Pierce is a dogged investigator with a desire to find the truth. Contracted by the father of the late Sarah Hawkins to look into the mysterious fire that engulfed her mansion and killed her family, Pierce is immediately surrounded by distrustful locals and dead ends on Darkwater. Pressing on, his world begins to unravel as reality breaks down, and dreams become reality… All the while, the Great Dreamer prepares its awakening.

Call of Cthulhu is out now on Nintendo Switch™. The game is also available on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
